In the enchanting realm of New England, endless photographable experiences bring stories to life.

It is my honor to guide you and capture these moments in breathtaking locations, preserving the love and personal expression that radiate from each story in a visually compelling and thoughtfully curated experience and gallery.

Hi, I'm mariah

My philosophy is to tell stories through artistic, empowering, and emotionally driven imagery.

As a photographer who uses hybrid modern mirrorless digital cameras and analog 35mm film cameras with nearly 20 years of professional experience, I use untraditional yet effective approaches rooted in intentional, journalistic documentation. Together, we create an artistic storytelling gallery made to last a lifetime and beyond. I work with discerning individuals and couples who value high-end, high-quality personalized service and meaningful experiences, offering a bespoke approach that ensures every detail of your photo session, wedding day or milestone event is beautifully preserved. Let me tell your personal, branding, or love story, creating custom-tailored memories that transcend time and geography in a way that feels true to you. As I guide you through life’s greatest moments, I’ll be alongside you, intentionally and creatively documenting the in-between, capturing the little things that make you unapologetically you, so together we can visually represent your story in its most honest form.

Your love story is my passion and purpose

Documentary-rooted, candid, cinematically guided, and a little adventurous, blending mirrorless digital, analog 35mm film, Super 8, GoPro, and Content Creation to create timeless imagery and keepsakes.

With a deep passion for storytelling, I’m drawn to capturing your love as it actually feels, candid, emotional, and a little unplanned. I guide with intention, calm, and authenticity, creating space for your confidence and emotions to come through naturally. More than your photographer, I’m your memory preserver, hype enthusiast, gown fixer, adventure guide, timeline organizer, and steady presence through it all, doing whatever it takes to capture the true essence of your connection.

From intimate New England landscapes to distinctive venues across every season, misty mountain mornings, coastal mansions, garden spaces, historic estates, or places that mean something to you, it all becomes part of the story. The end result is something honest and lasting, imagery and keepsakes you’ll come back to and feel for a lifetime.

Document your unique story in stunning locations

Specializing in immersive and creative experiences designed around you and the moments that matter most.

We might wander the city and eat at your favorite local spot, relax in ethereal woodlands, secret gardens and greenhouses, picnic in vast fields, catch waves along the coast, or tell your story beneath cascading waterfalls. Maybe we hike through the mountains, make snow angels, explore historic estates and mansions, settle into the comfort of your own space, or create something beautiful in one of my favorite studios, Airbnbs, boutique hotels, or a sentimental location of your choice.

Let’s visually celebrate you, your business, your relationships, and your milestones, creating real-life memories that fill the walls of your home or live on in photo albums and keepsakes placed on your shelves, coffee table, or bedside. This is about more than imagery, it’s about creating emotionally driven art you can truly connect with and feel for a lifetime.

Mind, Body, & Soul

Make a deeper connection to your body through your dream boudoir session.

Practice self discovery and enhance your self esteem, discover and celebrate new aspects of yourself and lead deeper into self-acceptance. A professionally styled and guided session, feel comfortable and relaxed in ethereal gardens, cleanse yourself in waterfalls, adventure along and move mountains, hunker down in your own home, enjoy on of my favorite studio settings, bathe in luxurious clawfoot tubs in mansions, or choose your own sentimental location.
Be unapologetically you while wearing your most comfortable or sexy lingerie pieces & props, (nude if you may choose), May it be for self expression, a significant other, bridal/groomoir, or an intimate couples session; Boudoir photoshoots promote empowerment and emphasize sensuality & emotion. There is no shame in the human body & being in touch with your sexuality or self acceptance journey.

The moments around it all

The gatherings, the celebrations, the moments that don’t always get documented but should.

Some of the most meaningful moments happen outside of the main event. The nights that turn into memories, the conversations, the energy of being surrounded by your people. From bachelorette parties to bridal showers, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, private and welcome dinners, yoga retreats, birthdays, baby showers, reunions, and everything else worth celebrating, it all matters.

I’m there to capture it as it actually happens, without overthinking it, just letting it unfold and documenting what’s real so you can come back to it later and feel it again. 

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

For Photographers

Turn your vision into something real, with guidance, intention, and a clear path forward.

When you have a clear vision in your mind, you can begin to manifest it by intentionally moving everything in that direction. You work hard to build it, creating your dream reality. As a visionary, going from part-time to full-time photographer may be a dream you’ve always wanted to achieve, but you may not know where to start or how to create an experience for your clients and couples. When starting a business, there’s a boldness and willingness to take risks. It’s time to maximize your potential and double down on your photography strengths!

As a full-time photographer and educator, I believe leadership is about inspiring others toward their vision and end goal. Under my guidance, you’ll learn how to manage your time effectively while offering an unforgettable experience for your clients and couples. My goal is to set you up for success in the art of wedding, portrait, and boudoir photography through a clear, personalized, and thorough process.

Things I saw. Things I felt. Things that lingered.

Storytelling Galleries

Pieces of days that stuck around. Light doing its own thing. Wind, water, skin, movement. The in-between, the almost gone, the parts you don’t think much about until later. Some of it soft, some of it just out of reach, all of it real in its own way. Collected here for memory’s sake.

I'm the photographer for you if you…

in their words

"Mariah was attentive, organized, positive and such a delight to work with."

"Her professionalism and good vibes are absolutely immaculate, she was such an amazing addition to our wedding day. She is THE best hype woman to have behind the camera to take beautiful photos and captivate some of the most intimate and special moments of your life. We got married last November and after having trouble with previous photographers, Mariah immediately put our minds at ease with her sense of calmness, professionalism, attention to detail, organization and preparedness for our preliminary meetings as well as touching base with us the days leading up to the big event to assure everything was going okay and if she could help in any way. I would absolutely recommend Mariah to photograph any event or special moment. She is such a special person in so many ways and the photography profession is so lucky to have someone like her."

- Kelsey & Ryan

"Mariah was nothing short of amazing from start to finish."

"We truly and deeply feel like we have created a new friend through the photography process! The calls and quick email responses were really beneficial, she was open and transparent, helping us create a vision that fit us best for our engagement session gallery our celebration day and keepsake photo albums."

-sarah & michael

"Mariah handled a very stressful day like an absolute pro."

"She made me feel beautiful, and calm, and took the time to really get to know my husband and I before we took our photos. She has a very quick turnaround time in my opinion, and the photos have all been amazing. She is genuinely such a kind soul and it shines through her photography. I also really liked that she sets up a payment plan so your photographs are already fully paid off prior to the wedding day, 10/10 would recommend and will use her for future photography."
