Kind words from some past clients...
Maeve Walsh
“I really can’t recommend Maria enough for taking the most precious pictures of your newborn! The photo session itself was such an enjoyable experience. It was so lovely to take some time out and enjoy a couple of hours together as a new family… We ended up getting a gallery of photos and absolutely love them! They will be on our walls forever”.
Shaughna Whelan
“I booked a family photo session to mark two landmark birthdays… It is without doubt the best gift I could get! I loved working with Maria. She achieved such beautiful, relaxed outdoor photos… Everything she did was extremely professional and with great attention to detail… The results are beyond my expectations! I’d highly recommend Maria and I’d strongly consider making the investment in capturing your own family”.

“Maria did headshots for the entire Initiafy team and we were delighted with them! Her calm demeanour puts you at ease immediately so she achieves very natural and authentic looking photographs. We love the end result. Thank you so much!”
ABOUT ME
Hi! I’m Maria – mum of three, photographer, entrepreneur and juggler!
My superpower is making you feel completely at ease (even enjoy) being in front of the camera! Whether it’s photos of your family or your business, I’ve got you covered.
I believe each and every family is uniquely beautiful, full of personality, fun, energy and love, and there’s just no way to capture that in a boring studio with a plain backdrop that says nothing about who you are.
I love the energy of the outdoors, the beauty in natural landscapes and the connection between families. Put it all together and that’s what I believe make the perfect ingredients for your family photography!
When I first set out on my journey as a professional photographer, I experimented with studio lights, backdrops, posing, etc, because that is what I thought a professional photographer “had to do”… but once I had kids of my own, I quickly fell in love with capturing all of those natural, emotive and honest moments and precious details that I believe hold so much more value as the years progress.
This is the kind of photography that lights up my soul! What about you?
