Do you spend more money on bougie kid’s clothes than you do going out to eat?
My why
My favorite feeling is nostalgia. It’s looking back on those moments in life that I want to relive over and over again. And you know what? It’s always the moments that are the simplest. They are full of joy, comfort, and connection. So, that’s what I want to capture for you.
Macklemore said it best:
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Okay, this is going to sound a little strange, so bear with me. I was in the car driving to a recent session, music blasting—you know, the normal—when I realized Macklemore wrote the first part of this section perfectly for me: “My greatest achievement isn't the dollars. My greatest achievement isn't the followers. My greatest achievement isn't the accolades. My greatest achievement is my daughter.”
As parents, we all know that life changes once these beautiful creatures (yes, they are creatures) come into our lives. But most importantly, they are the best things that ever happen to us and it’s almost impossible to put into words what they mean, but these photos can do just that. They will show your love through and through. It is an incredible gift to me to be able to document Kaylie every day (hello, photo-a-day project!) and, it is an incredible gift to me to be able to do the same thing for you. So, get behind my camera with your greatest achievement and live forever in those beautiful moments.
I practice what I preach.
My house is full of framed photographs, albums and little prints stuck into the corners of mirrors and pinned on the fridge. I have never once looked at them and regretted the investment I made having photographers capture our family. These photos mean the world to be and I want to be able to give you the same tangible memories that will live forever.
“Mariah is hands down the best photographer you will find.”
“She has completely surpassed my expectations time and time again. She is so fun and easy to work with. So grateful for this amazing human and her talent! If you’re looking for a photographer that is passionate, flexible, punctual and creative then Mariah is your girl!”
