Family life is rarely easy. But if we look close, it’s always full of love. It’s always worth it.
It’s the kind of love that’s never perfect. It’s often hidden among busy schedules and sleepless nights. But it’s also beautiful. It’s you and the people you love most sharing a meal at your grandfather’s birthday. It’s the touch of a hand, the sweetest dimples on a cheek, and those inside-joke smiles you exchange with your spouse over your child’s shoulder.

Maria is a phenomenal photographer and my pictures far exceeded my expectations. I am so happy to have found Maria and I highly recommend her photography services. I have booked with her twice in the last 2 months and plan to book another session in the spring. Her photo session locations are the best in San Diego. If you are looking to support a local small business and want impeccable photos and top-notch service, Maria V Photography is the way to go. Thank you so much for capturing such special family moments. I will forever cherish my photos

Choosing a photographer involves more than just scrolling through yelp, closing your eyes, and picking anyone at random. Choosing a photographer involves opening the front door to your private life...to your family. Giving someone the honor of seeing you and your loved ones at your most vulnerable...capturing the moments that are rarely seen by the public...and immortalizing the poetry of those moments on film...and in our hearts. Maria was able to do that for us. She listened to our needs, and really truly connected to who we are as a family, and as individuals. The beauty and art she sees through her lens translate into captivating poetry through her photos. Maria’s talent is incredible.
