Hey ya’lllllll!!!! Its Mariaaaaaaa!!! 
Your professional hype girl! The type of person that will look like a FOOL to get you comfortable and laughing.
Obsessed with my fur babies Thor and Loki, have a real bad sweet tooth and I just married the man of my prayers this past December.
But all in all I am laid back, super carefree, go with the flow kind of person.
My life is a beautiful mess and if you down, I’ll let you in on all of the mess too. 

"Are there words to describe this wonderful human being? I’m not sure but I’m going to try. First off, her energy is infectious. Talk about one of the easiest, most relaxing shoot. I don’t think we stopped smiling the whole time and trust me thats what you need behind the camera. Second, we are totally awkward people behind the camera. But like isn’t everyone, right? Maria directed us so well and cheered us on the entire time. Though we felt awkward the pictures did not reflect that AT ALL. Lastly, DON’T GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE FINAL PRODUCT. Three days later i made a printed album so if that doesn’t give you any indication in how they came out then I’m not sure what will. As if you need another reason to book her. I still chat with her all the time. So down to earth and such a good person! So lucky this experience has not only brought be fantastic pictures but a new friendship!"
