Hi, i'm Maria,
a creative film photographer capturing honest, artful imagery for women, couples and purpose-led brands.
Based in Walyalup/Fremantle, and available across Perth and beyond.
Photography has never been about perfect poses or forced smiles for me.
It's about noticing the way you laugh, the way you hold someone you love, or the quiet confidence that appears when you stop thinking about the camera.
What if being photographed felt less like performing, and more like coming home to yourself?
Whether you're celebrating motherhood, your relationship, your business, or simply this chapter of your life, my sessions are designed to feel relaxed, intentional and true to you.
Working with film invites us to slow down. Every frame is chosen with care, creating space for genuine moments to unfold rather than trying to force them.
The photographs we create together won't just remind you of how you looked. They'll remind you of how it felt to be there.
Because years from now, that's what will matter most.
What would it look like to honour this chapter of your life?

Everyone is welcome here
Whoever you are, however you love, and whatever chapter you're in, you deserve to feel seen, respected and celebrated.

I loved my photoshoot with Maria. I felt supported, nurtured, and completely looked after. She’s so adaptive, making the session feel effortless and natural. Being around her felt like being at home, easy going and fun.
When I first saw the images, I loved them. They are raw, earthy, and authentically me, perfectly capturing my story, my brand, and my connection to nature. Maria has such an incredible eye for detail, beauty, and expression, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a session that is both professional and deeply personal.
Thank you so much for making me feel like a goddess during the winter months!

Working with Maria was an experience I’ll never forget! Her ability to capture raw, natural, feminine beauty on film is unlike anything I’ve seen. We did a sensual, feminine shoot full of native flowers. She made me feel at ease immediately. There was a deep sense of trust that allowed me to really be myself in front of her lens.
Her use of film, especially her signature double exposures, brought so much depth and soul to the images and no one else can do these the same way!! They are truly special.
The photos feel soft and raw and I’m so grateful for the experience and the beautiful images we created together. This experience has re-sparked my own creative energy.

Maria’s talent and professionalism as a photographer is incredible. She made me feel really comfortable in front of the lens when it’s not my usual place to be, she held a shared vision of what I wanted and scouted places that would suit that vision, she is hands on, proactive and supportive throughout the whole process making the whole shoot feel effortless, and the result was some beautifully crafted and unique photos I can use for my new brand.

I keep this experience very close to my heart. Maria is such a dedicated and talented professional. Her energy is contagious, and her vision was so inspiring that allowed me to flow naturally in every setting during the photoshoot. Her directions came from a place of respect, beauty and female body empowerment, making me feel confident in each pose and deep appreciation towards my own body. It was an absolute honour to be captured through Maria's lens.

She’s not only incredibly talented but also has an amazing ability to make you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for both personal shots and showcasing my jewelry, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. She came prepared with fantastic ideas and thoughtful props, which added so much depth and creativity to the session. Her organisation and attention to detail were top-notch, and the results? Absolutely stunning!
