Hey, it's Mariana!

 Your fav Georgia photographer 😏

Let's skip the boring "about me" stuff. You probably don't care much that I'm a travel loving, extremely rare Slavic from Washington State. My camera and I have journeyed from the cold north all the way down to the humid peach state - Georgia! I've treaded the paths of Georgia's streets long enough to be a local, so I'm your go-to gal for uncovering hidden gems for the best photos.

People always say the best things about themselves on these "About me" pages, but I'll be honest. My coffee addiction keeps me running half marathons despite my chronic shin splints, and hiking fuels my soul so much that I'll drag my best friend out of bed at 3 am to hike a mountain and see a sunrise (true story).

I feel like we've all experienced this in our lives before; you ask for a photo, and that one friend takes it with no effort or enthusiasm, just to make it count. It doesn't matter that you're lookin like the Grinch's side profile and their finger is covering the lower right corner. Great. *side eye*. 

I understand that struggle, so I make sure my clients can have photos they are proud to show off without having to say "I was tired" or "he looks better in person." No, you always look good, and I capture those moments on camera!!

I might be a little biased, but look at my work. It's pretty good, right? *Wink, Wink* (humbly said tehehe)

You need someone committed to their work, and let's just say, I am that girl! You need me to crawl on the wet grass to get that angle – I sure will. Lighting is hitting weird, so you need me to get into the pond or climb a tree - DONE and DONE. Maybe I’m over exaggerating a little bit, but only a little, but I can back up those words. I've done it all... more than once.

So, if you're done putting off those family photos that you keep telling your grandma you'll send her when you get the chance, or an important event is on the horizon and your bestie is backed out because of last-minute "boy drama" she has to deal with, leaving you stranded without a wing-woman to get all those good angles... Just contact me already; it's only a click away. Enough of convincing; you already know what to do *wink wink*
