I’m heading North and taking photography bookings there. Booking sessions on the Central Coast, Newcastle, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast in August and September 2026.

p.s. Melbourne, I love you, but single digits every morning? We need a break! 🤭

August — Central Coast & Newcastle
September — Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast

Couples and engagement shoots, family sessions, maternity photos, or portraits just for you. Maybe you've just got engaged and want photos that feel like the two of you. Maybe you're expecting, or your kids are growing faster than you can keep up with. Or maybe it's been years since you had photos taken where you actually like yourself in them. That's what I'm here for.

Nothing too scripted. We'll spend some time together, at the beach, at your place, wherever feels like you, and I'll photograph what's real.

This gallery is a mix of Allira & Damien's maternity session, celebrating their special time waiting for little Coco, photographed on film + digital, and a few warm photos from my last trip to the Gold Coast. Can't wait to come back!

💌 Sessions are limited while I travel. If one of these spots is home for you, send me a message and let's create something beautiful together. x

Garden House on a sunny summer afternoon.

Melbourne’s biggest garden, minutes from the CBD. The house has stood here since 1854, and it feels like it.

If you’re after an enchanted garden and a touch of old-world architecture, this one belongs on your shortlist.

Mads & Chris ended their day the way the Italians would. Martinis at a green marble bar. Napkins flying over one long table. Nobody in a hurry to leave.

There was a frutta fresca cart by the door and Montenegro on the shelf. Laughter passed down the table like a shared plate. As I love it, nothing staged, a joyful celebration of love, gathering together and living in the moment.

The in-between moments carried this one.

The gallery includes the mix of 35mm film and digital images.

Mads & Chris brought their people down from Queensland and turned a Melbourne day into something that felt deeply personal from beginning to end.

A morning getting ready with friends and family, a first look in Fitzroy Gardens with the skyline behind them, and a wander through the city together. Vows at the Old Treasury Building, then pasta, wine and the kind of party where no one was ready for the night to end.

A little glimpse into the first part of Mads & Chris’s preview gallery.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared much about myself here — so, a little reintroduction 🤍

I’m Maria — a photographer, traveller, seeker of light and the quiet kind of magic it holds. 

My background isn’t in photography alone. I studied psychology, trained in ballet, and once dreamed of becoming a journalist — all of which shaped my photography vision — always about natural emotion, with an eye for body language and storytelling composition.

These days, I photograph weddings, elopements, and intimate celebrations across Melbourne, Bali, and destinations beyond. 

Between weddings, I also take on a small number of portraits, maternity sessions, and creative brand stories — work that lets me explore softness, detail, and character in quieter ways.

I work with both film and digital, blending editorial composition with documentary intuition — always searching for that balance between artistry and honesty.

If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been around for a while — thank you for still being here.

I’m excited to share more of what I’ve been creating lately — and a little of what inspires me, too.

— Maria 🌿

Fashion is a massive source of inspiration for me – but it’s not just about whatever’s “in” right now. I’m drawn to connections, storylines, meaning – that’s what really connects with me. 

What truly inspires me is the combination of style choices and unique designs that reflect an authentic expression of self.

That’s what matters to me as an artist: creating the full picture, telling the deeper story. Fashion, for me, is part of something bigger – like music, design, photography, art. It’s all part of that ever-inspiring creative process, and that’s what draws me in every time.
