-Jocelyn P

Maricela did an amazing job capturing beautiful photos of my newborn! Her studio was calm, clean, and inviting, it was the perfect environment for making both baby and parents feel comfortable. There were plenty of adorable props and outfits, and she had a great eye for detail when posing.
I appreciated Maricela's professionalism and patience throughout the session. She clearly knows how to work with newborns and was so gentle and attentive, pivoting as needed to keep my baby happy. It is also clear that she's a mom herself, which shows in how naturally she handled everything.
One detail that stood out to me was that Maricela wore a mask the entire session without being asked. That level of care and consideration meant a lot. I would absolutely recommend Maricela to anyone looking for newborn photos and a thoughtful experience!

-Van D

If you are looking for a photographer for a baby bump picture, look no further. The pictures done by Maricela turned out amazing. We love them, and everyone that we have shared the photos with all make remarks on how beautiful they turned out.
