Hello everyone!
Welcome to my about me page, where you'll find tabs with facts on my personal & photography life:
Corporate life who? In 2021, I left a steady career in corporate America to pursue my passion for photography.
I first picked up a camera during a summer camp when I was only 10 years old. We were given a list of different objects to photograph around the building, and I fell in love with capturing the uniqueness of things as they were. Objects that were easily overlooked suddenly became exciting thanks to a photograph. I quickly began begging my parents for photography equipment and was gifted my first camera that Christmas.
Fast forward a decade + some years, and I am embarking on a new career, doing what I am most passionate about...capturing, creating, and bringing memories - your memories - to life.
I am lucky to be part of a loving and multi-cultural family of three older brothers and incredible parents, all of whom have supported me and my growth throughout the years. One of my brothers once said, "Mariah is like the glue for our family." As the baby in the house, I was positively influenced by all of them from an early age. At this stage in my life, I proudly reflect their diverse talents and echo the lessons they taught me. I'm a little bit me, a little bit my brothers, a little bit my dad, and a lot my mom. Their collective influences blessed me with the ability to be that family "glue." Nothing is more important to me than family...a dynamic that drives me to capture unforgettable family moments for my customers in a uniquely-beautiful way.
Remember to always prioritize yourself and pursue your passions - I am running and never looking back! You. Will. Not. Regret.
With love,
Mariah
