Hello there! I am Maria Velasco
Meet the Photographer
My love for capturing the beauty of nature began when I was 15. That was the year my father and sister noticed my potential and gifted me my very first camera.
Before long, my passion expanded into portrait photography. I started out using my sisters, cousins, and classmates as my subjects. By 2017, friends began asking me to be the official photographer for their birthday debuts. Through word of mouth, my small business naturally grew from friends to schoolmates, then to their relatives, and eventually to
Over the past 9 years in this industry, I’ve had the wonderful experience of shooting outdoors—specializing in solo portraits, maternity sessions, couples, and family shoots. I love creating a seamless blend of nature's backdrop and beautiful, natural lighting.
But what I love most about this work is witnessing your
milestone moments. Whether it’s a birthday, a baptism,
a wedding, or an intimate celebration, I am honored to capture
those memories so you can look back and remember
the joy of that day and the people who shared it with you.
If you are looking for someone to help document a special
moment you want to keep forever, please feel free to send me a message. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
Thank you so much for visiting my website.
I can't wait to work with you!
