D Maria Style Photography

This picture just makes my heart swell. My sister in law’s grandparents ❤️ They’re the kind of family that even when you’re not related, they feel like yours, too. Abuelo has some memory issues and I wanted to capture a picture of the 56 years they’ve shared together to remember always.

He also has quite the sense of humor, during this picture he told me he was looking into the eyes of Godzilla 🤦🏽‍♀️ Which is even funnier because his wife is the sweetest ❤️

I pray for all of my clients to have the love they share…and y’all, get your grandparents to take these pictures too! This was one of my favorite sessions ever.

Christmas is coming y’all 😍 I’m still working on a few albums, but I can start taking appointments now for holiday pictures! No set mini session ideas, so gimme your ideas and we’ll make them happen!

So thankful to this beautiful couple for being so patient and kind waiting for their fine art edits of their special day! I took longer than promised, and they were nothing but gracious and understanding while waiting! I could post the whole album because every darn picture was near perfection, but here are a few of my favorites of their special day! 😍 Wishing a lifetime of love and happiness to them!!!

U N E D I T E D

Y’all, I usually won’t post unedited pictures! I’m a fine art photographer, that’s my favorite! But omgggg, this wedding was stunning! I’m in awe!

Senior photos, prom photos, wedding photos…come to me if you want all the unique poses and editing! I LOVE doing images like this!!

Mommy’s little boy & Daddy’s pride and joy ❤️ Congrats on your little cowboy!

Hi everyone! I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m still here! In addition to photography, I’ve also been doing a tattoo apprenticeship! Yay! Lol. I’ll be posting recent pictures I’ve done this week and offering some deals, so keep your eyes out!

DATES AND FURTHER INFO WILL BE RELEASED THIS WEEK!

I’m so excited to be announcing our unicorn mini sessions! We are only booking 10 clients, so be ready for when the openings go live 💗💗💗

I’m going gaga over this session 😍😍😍

Photo dump with an apology attached! I have been editing like crazy. I haven’t updated Facebook in so long! Sorry guys! I’m still here, lol!

Take a peek through some of the gorgeous images I’ve been working on.

Thank you so much to my amazing clients for your love and patience. What did I ever do to deserve you all! More galleries being sent out this week! Xoxo ❤️ D Maria

Happy to have caught this unposed moment during a recent session! More to come ❤️

Reason #828474939374 why I adore my clients….

She asked if I had an idea of where to shoot our sessions and I said you’ll think I’m crazy but…you know that Dollar General that has some trees next to it?

She was all in.

Yep, we shot our session next to Dollar General. Always 👏🏽 Trust 👏🏽 The 👏🏽 Process 👏🏽 My regulars know this well, lol,

I feel in love with this adorable couple. They acted so in love and so natural in front of the camera, our session was a breeze and I can’t wait to post more!!!! I’m obsessed with these!!!

Before and after (because I’m not perfect 🤦🏽‍♀️), can you see the difference!?

Before/After

I love showing you straight out of the camera, then what I can do after 💫

A picture is just a picture unless you make it art. Some photographers are just photographers and THAT’S OKAY! No shade here! But I love my job as a photo artist.

Fine art portraits aren’t something that everyone can do…it’s taken a long time, a lot of studying, and hard work! I’m so thankful for the chance to develop this skill!

A little something different than what I usually shoot ❤️ Happy Sunday night, friends.

Y’all…I’m kind of thinking I should start a bo***ir group. I’m dying over these. Dyingggggg!!! Trying to gauge interest, what do you think about a private group!?

My bo***ir images don’t show any less than what you’d see on a beach. I love modest bo***ir the most. 😍😍😍

Sunflowers 🌻 For Ukraine 🇺🇦

I keep seeing people posting sunflower images in support of the Ukrainian people….so I decided to share with you my favorites that I’ve taken.

Please drop sunflower pictures below…ones that I’ve taken, that you’ve taken, or that others have taken (feel free to credit other photographers if they’re professional).

Praying for the people of Ukraine!

This little angel was one of my very first clients when I moved here. Over time, her mom and I have built a wonderful friendship that’s allowed her to totally trust my visions…and I am so thankful for both that AND her friendship! Love you girls! ❤️

This is what we call a “Composite”.

Crazy right? This is an award winning composite that I did about a year and a half ago, one of my first that I won.

They’re so cool to do because the weather isn’t always perfect, or you might have an idea that isn’t physically possible, but with composites, we can create the photography ideas of your dreams!

A little before and after to start the day! My style of editing is called “Fine Art”. These types of pictures take 45 minutes to an hour to edit per picture. They are beautiful and dramatic and look like paintings!

Not many photographers edit this way, as it’s a VERY difficult skill to learn.

Because of this, I may not be the cheapest photographer around. But I certainly produce quality work. Portraits like this are an investment, they are a forever keepsake.

While I’m not the cheapest, I also try very much to stay affordable. If you have questions about pricing, please send me a message ❤️

I’mmmmm tap dancing!!!!!! This isn’t edited and it’s already stunning!!! I could cry! These cloud sessions are everything! What a little angel!

Episode 2 in shooting all stages of pregnancy!!

I love this session. Downtown, urban feel. All maternity does not have to be huge belly, fancy dresses, and hair blowing in the wind.

You should document all stages of your belly, how cool is it to look back and watch your baby grow!? Baby is about halfway cooked here, how adorable is that belly!?

And how gorgeous is our downtown!!??

I am so very excited to post some of these GORGEOUS images now that their album has been delivered!! Beautiful family, beautiful wedding ❤️

I’m finally catching up on my sessions y’all!! Yay! Lol! Had to throw this blooper out there in the world (with permission of course) 🤪 Happy Wednesday, friends!

Good gosh, I’ve been working on this gorgeous wedding and I’ll soon be coming to an end…I’m excited when I’m finished because I get to deliver an album to my clients, but it’s also bitter sweet, like watching a really good tv series and having it end!!!

My cloud background is officially my absolute favorite backdrop.

Hey all!! So sometimes I get these ideas in my head (mind of a crazy artist) and offer sessions with this idea. Then it turns into something completely different, lol!! (Mind of an artist yet again!!!!) This was supposed to be a snow session…and ended up being the most beautiful non snow session!! (I have some snow picture coming too, no worries)

How gorgeous does this beautiful mama look in red though 🥰 Thank you to my wonderful clients that just trust the process.!

I have a weakness for vintage bridal images!! How stunning is this bride!!!

MODEL WANTED:

I’m looking for someone willing to do an urban maternity session.

These are sample images from my favorite sessions downtown. I want a bougie-vibe. Must be willing to discuss clothing choices and give me free rein with ideas and posing to create my vision, as these will be high end images.

The modeling session fee will be $100 (regularly $250+ for maternity, so this is heavily discounted). You will receive 8 edited digital images. You must be willing to agree to a model release for advertising and possible publication. Please share if you know someone 30+ weeks pregnant (or a noticeable belly). Thank you!!

The life of a photo artist! This is where my passion lies ❤️ Both were taken on the same day, and it was a blast creating both images.

Let’s have a vote…

Are you feeling the chilly snow or the warm sun!?

I’m currently working on editing 5 sessions! I’m so excited to share them all with you as I edit! Keep your eyes out for wedding, maternity (yes more maternity!), and Valentine’s Day!!

Are y’all feeling this cloud background as much as I am!?
