Amazing! Don’t hire anyone else…
Wow… honestly that’s all I can say.
Maria was professional from the beginning and was so easy to work with. We have never taken professional pictures but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If not for her, we would have had awkward poses and looked uncomfortable.
She made sure I got all the shots I wanted and even had some great suggestions.
Her positive and happy personality made her a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again.

Maria the photographer review
Maria was an excellent photographer. We did the 8 hour package which included a free engagement session. For the engagement session she went a little overtime at no additional cost so we could get photos at two different locations in canmore and the photos all turned out great. She is a very nice, fun, professional photographer. We have already received some sneak peak photos back from the wedding (under a week later). These photos look even better than the engagement photos! They turned out excellent. I am excited to see the rest of the photos and know they will turn out great. She is quick to respond and has a way of showing connectionin her photography. I would recomend Maria to any of my friends and family in need of a photography service.

Maria definitely knew what she was doing and we loved her style of photography. Maria was also prompt and responds quickly to any questions that arose. Overall, Maria captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding and we couldn't be happier.

Maria was able to capture expressions that had before only existed in memories. Those photos are teaming with joy and love and will tell a story to generations to come.

Lovely engagement session
My fiancé and I had our engagement session with Maria. It was the first time we ever had a photoshoot together, so we were pretty nervous, but Maria made soooo easy and so beautiful! We did not even feel we had to pose, all her suggestions and dynamics were very natural which made us feel more connected and intimate as a couple. The pictures were awesome! We are so glad about the results and definitely looking forward to doing it again. Thank you!! Everyone needs a Maria in their life! ♥
