your family photographer
Nice to meet ya,
I’m Maura
Rather than a resume, I’d like to give you a recipe. Or maybe just a list of ingredients. These are just a few things that make me who I am.
Virginia Beach Family Photographer. Wife. Multipassionate entrepreneur. Mother. Granddaughter. Amateur baker. A green thumbed gal. Fierce friend. Creative director.
Whether we’re cut from the same cloth or two peas from very different pods, I bet we have a little something in common...
We are obsessed with the people we love. And we’re better because of it.
I’d love to hear more about you and your story, but first, I’ll share a bit of mine.
New friendship
Connection is everything. Most of my clients inquire as strangers and leave as dear friends. If you’re looking for just another photographer who will pose you & leave, that’s okay, but that’s not me. If you want those sweet, sentimental images of your life & family, you have to let me in.

Turning everyday moments into

"Maura really takes the time to get to know you and your relationship, and it shows in the photos, they feel more like a storybook than a photo album."
I can’t say enough good things about Maura!! We’ve known each other for half our lives at this point so that relationship was already built, but watching her bond and build a friendship with my husband was such a special thing to see, and it definitely showed in his comfort level in front of the camera! We wanted to remember every part of both our wedding day and engagement shoot, all those raw authentic moments, and she definitely delivered!! Maura is truly there for you, she happily answered all my questions and provided guidance when I needed an opinion from an industry professional. She’s a wonderful human, friend, photographer, and businesswoman, and I would recommend her for all your photography needs.

"If you’re looking for a photographer who put hers clients First and will provide you with photos you can cherish forever, I HIGHLY recommend Maura!
Maura has taken MANY of our photos and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. She has shot single photos of myself as well as my husband and I couple photos, engagement photos and she’s recently taking some of our most precious photos our gender/baby announcements and also we or first family session. She’s kind, caring, gentle and really makes your feel beautiful in front of the camera especially for someone like me who is extremely self conscious. Every time I receive a gallery from Maura, I am blow away at how every photo is amazing, I have to admit I cry every time."

"Went above and beyond our expectations,
we cannot thank her enough!"
"Pure magic. She is spectacular in every form of the word. The love she showed us, our family, and our friends was unparalleled and it is evident in our photos. With every image, we are taken back to a specific moment and memory that is so sweet. Unfortunately, given the climate of the virus, we had to reselect a photographer a few days before our big day - Maura, jumped right in with the biggest heart and brought it to life! Thank you for saving the day - It was an honor to witness your artistry and heart - Thanks for being you!"
