"Mariah made me feel confident, comfortable, and empowered...
...She really knows her angles and guided me through which poses felt natural and would look nice in photos. Mariah chose a fantastic location and was able to see potential in so many different areas of the site. She was dynamic and collaborative, and in the end, I was gifted with a great diverse collection. I can’t say enough great things about Mariah. She is a skilled artist as well as a lovely person to spend an hour of your time with.”

“Mariah was super fun to work with!
She made our session comfortable and guided me with posing and angles so I didn’t feel like a fish out of water. She offered suggestions as well leading up to the shoot so we were able to go in with a plan. The photos got back to me quickly and I’m looking forward to using them for social media and my business marketing."
