get to know me

Hi! I’m Marie (she/they), born and raised in Northern California, now a Los Angeles based photographer. Currently servicing all of the Los Angeles and Southern California. I’ve been a professional photographer for 7 years. 

I was introduced to the camera at a young age, watching my dad take our family photos as a hobby. In high school my family moved to the San Fransisco Bay Area, where my passion for visual arts really took off. When I was 15, there was a Larry Sultan exhibit at the SFMOMA, his works from ‘Homeland,’ ‘Pictures from Home,’ and ‘The Valley’ had me in a trance, I spent hours just studying those prints with my free underage pass. When I was 16, I got my first job at the local bowling alley, and after a few months of saving, I bought my first “real removeable lens camera” or DSLR camera. 

In 2018, I moved to Southern California to pursue my dreams behind the camera, with the amazing opportunity to be a photographer at Disneyland, projecting my passion professionally. 

I now also have a day job at a photography supply store. I’m very content having a life that revolves around imaging and I only hope that grows and deepens its roots in my life.

I’ve always found myself gravitated towards kids and the nature of parenthood and family. I love capturing the purest forms of love.

I shoot on both digital and film in 35 and medium format, with a love for documentarian, photojournalistic style and using only natural and surrounding light.

My favorite feeling is giving someone a picture that they immediately connect to and can cherish forever.

For one couple, it was capturing the first photo of their son’s smile.

For some, it’s the first photo of themselves they actually like and feel beautiful in.

For one, it was the final family photo they had with their grandmother.

Knowing they’ll live with those photos on their wall or reminisce on it with a loved one. It means the universe.

Whatever the case, my goal is to capture reality and the beauty that I see in it.

Some other things about me:

I am conversational in ASL.

I prefer to write in cursive.

I tend to crave salty over sweet.

I have a year old kitten named Moonie.
