My name is Mariah. I am a mama to three daughters, a handful of dogs, and occasionally a rescued baby bird.

I photograph women entering motherhood and growing families, though my favorite subject is the intimacy between a mother and her child.

A mother's love is inevitably intertwined with longing – everything turns into memories. This is why I find photographing motherhood so interesting, and I'm always looking for moments of stillness and in-between to freeze with my camera.

Something mothers often say to me after a session is how much they felt my care and passion for my work. It makes me smile, because I genuinely cannot imagine it any other way.

I photograph in a natural light studio here in Westlake Village, and can also travel to your home. If this feels like the right fit, I'd love to hear from you.
