Portraits
Engagements, families, maternity, and newborn sessions across Colorado.
Images You’ll Feel Forever
I love portraits because they let you hold onto real life as it is right now. The way your partner looks at you. The way your kids move. The season you are in, before it changes again.
I’ll guide you enough to feel confident, then let the rest unfold naturally. The result is photos that feel refined and honest. The kind you love today, and love even more later.
For the moments you’ll miss someday
Portraits are for the in-between seasons too. The baby bump. The missing teeth. The way your toddler only wants to be held right now. I’ll guide you with an easy, natural flow so your images feel elevated, honest, and deeply you.
This is for you if:
You want photos that feel like real life, not a performance.
You want gentle direction without stiff posing.
You want to remember the way this season felt, not just how it looked.
Mariana has an amazing way of capturing pure,
authentic, professional and candid photos!
Thank you for capturing our family!

FAMILY PORTRAITS
Family sessions are meant to feel like you. Not stiff, not forced, and definitely not “say cheese” for an hour. I’ll place you in great light, give you simple direction, and build in space for real connection so the final gallery feels elevated and true.
MATERNITY SESSIONS
Maternity sessions can be soft, bold, simple, or editorial. We’ll choose a location and wardrobe that fits your vision, then create images that feel grounded and beautiful. This season goes fast. Your photos should help you remember what it felt like..
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
Newborn sessions are gentle and unhurried. I focus on connection, tiny details, and the atmosphere of those first days together. No complicated posing. Just a calm pace, good light, and photos that feel like home..
ENGAGEMENTS AND PROPOSALS
Engagement sessions are my favorite way to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera before a wedding day. Expect easy direction, lots of movement, and images that look like you on your best day. If you’re planning a proposal, I’ll help you choose a location and a plan so it feels smooth and intentional.
KEEPSAKES & DELIVERY
You’ll receive a curated online gallery with high resolution downloads and printing rights. It is easy to share, easy to save, and built to last. If you want something tangible, I also offer heirloom quality prints and albums so your photos live somewhere beyond your phone.

The Portrait Experience
What To Expect In Front Of My Camera
If you’re worried your kids will not cooperate, you’re not alone. My sessions are movement-based and connection-focused. I’ll give you prompts that create real interaction, not forced smiles. We take breaks when we need to, we keep it light, and we let your people be themselves.
"From the moment I inquired about Mariana taking our family pictures, I instantly knew she would be able to capture our precious moments!
She was efficient, polite and professional. When we received our images, I couldn’t have been more happier with the results. They were absolutely perfect!"

“Mariana is phenomenal!
My three little boys were running all over the place and
somehow she captured the most beautiful photos of each of them
and even managed to get them to settle down for a few whole family shots.
She captured their personalities and perfect lighting at the same time.
I will treasure these photos forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
