About Me

Hi! My name is Maria, and I'm a photographer in Riga.

For me, photography is not only beautiful frames, but also an atmosphere where you feel at ease and confident. Before every shoot I help choose the location, outfit and look, and during the session I always guide posing so the process feels comfortable even if you're being photographed for the first time.

I shoot individual and family sessions, Love Story, maternity, weddings, events, as well as sessions with pets and horses. What matters to me is keeping not only beautiful photographs, but your real emotions — so years later you can relive these moments again.

I believe the best photographs happen when you can simply be yourself.
