Hi y'all, Maryafernanda here!
Yep, it's a mouthful—I know. Think of it like "Maria-Fernanda," but with a y (and definitely not Mayra).
I’m a natural light photographer who thrives on capturing candid, heartfelt moments for families, couples, and all the beautiful in-betweens. With 9+ years behind the camera and a deep love for storytelling, I’m here to document your life just as it is—real, joyful, and full of connection.
I’m a wife, a mom to two amazing kids (a soccer-loving 10-year-old and a wild-hearted 2-year-old), and I run two businesses—all while working a full-time job. I know what it’s like to juggle practices, work calls, meal preps, and still try to make space for memories. That’s why I approach every session with patience, flexibility, and a whole lot of heart. I get it—I really do.
My goal is to take the pressure off and create an experience that feels easy, fun, and true to you. Whether we’re chasing golden hour or chasing toddlers, I promise to capture moments that are honest, beautiful, and lasting.
What started as capturing memories for friends and family has grown into something so much bigger, and I’m beyond grateful for every person who trusts me with their moments. Photography became my passion when I realized moments are fleeting, and in the end, memories are all we truly get to keep.
I’m committed to serving you with the gift God has given me, and I’d love the opportunity to do just that. I can’t wait to meet you and bring your vision to life!

“Omg loved our session so much! We had the opportunity to book a last minute opening and it was for only 30 minutes. Mary was very much on her A game with time. We were able to capture all that we wanted in those 30 minutes! We did a family shoot + maternity shoot + minis of our girls.
