Hi, I'm Maria.
Wife to my wonderful husband Tyler, and mama to our three beautiful girls—Gracie, Mila, and Sofia. They are, without a doubt, the best thing we’ve ever created. Being a wife and mother brings me so much joy, and photography has been my creative outlet through every season of life.
​
Every day is a chance to see the good in everything and everyone—that lens comes naturally. Meeting someone new sparks a quiet observation: the angles that flatter a face, the colors that bring someone to life, the way love moves between people. That’s where the magic begins.
​
Even driving around town, I can’t help but see the world in backdrops—golden fields, ivy-covered fences, light spilling through trees. Beauty is everywhere, just waiting to be captured.
​
It’s hard to believe this journey has been unfolding for over 10 years. The number of people I’ve met and had the honor to photograph is something I’ll never take for granted. Every face, every story, every shared experience—it’s all part of what makes this work so meaningful.
​
Photography, to me, is storytelling. Every session is an opportunity to reflect real life in a way that makes you feel something lasting.​
​
As my family has grown, so has my business. To help serve more wonderful people, I’ve added two amazing associates to the team:
Sierra, a natural beauty with an incredible eye, and Miranda, a lifelong friend who is genuine, kind, and deeply talented behind the lens.
​
Still interested? I’d love to chat.
Hi, I’m Sierra,
a girl chasing a (somewhat unexpected) dream. I’ve always been passionate about creativity and design, but also making connections with other people. However, I didn’t quite know how to mesh my two passions together. Soooo…
When Maria asked if I was interested in joining in on her thriving photography journey, it sounded like an answered prayer that I couldn’t pass up. And let me just tell you…I’m sure glad I didn’t. Maria was the one who spent hours training and teaching me the skills that I have today and I wouldn’t be where I am without her. What a treasure Dear Jane is to me! I’ve not only fallen in love with photography, but also with the amazing people that I have already met along the way.
I am so beyond excited to capture you and your people; to capture photos that show who YOU are.
So if you, by chance, want to be apart of my crazy fun dream-come-true, let’s book a session together!
Hi, I'm Miranda.
Maria and I have been friends for years—I was actually her very first senior session! A few years later, she captured my wedding, and since then, it’s been such a joy to watch Dear Jane grow into what it is today.
​
Photography and videography have always been creative passions of mine, so being part of the Dear Jane team feels like a dream. I’ve spent the past few years editing wedding films behind the scenes, and now I’m thrilled to step in front of the lens as well—offering photography sessions and continuing to grow alongside this amazing team. It's been such a gift to learn, create, and work with high-quality tools to capture life’s most beautiful moments.
Outside of my day job, photography is where my heart gets to be creative—capturing real moments and turning them into lasting memories.
Whether you're a high school senior, grandparents with a fun crew of grandkids, or anyone in between—I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life and create something that truly feels like you.
