HI FRIEND!!! I am Maria. A wife, and mama of 4 boys. My heart is for legacy. The life my husband and I have built over the past 10 years - from the day we said “I do”, to starting our family, to surviving (and loving) the beautiful chaos of parenthood . ALL OF IT has shown me just how fleeting and precious every moment is. That’s what fuels my passion for photography: capturing the laughter, the quiet glances, the messy, joyful moments that make your story yours. 

MEET MARIA

Every session is about connection, being in the moment, and capturing your story. 

So you can show up fully, be yourself, and walk away with images that don’t just look beautiful, but feel beautiful. Your story, your love, your family, your legacy — I’m here to celebrate it all, exactly as it is.

BEHIND THE LENS

Your Story,

Your Love,

Working with me is all about connection, real moments, and a little bit of magic sprinkled in. From the moment you reach out, I’m here to answer your questions, guide you through the process, and make it feel easy, fun, and totally stress-free. On your wedding day or during a family session, my goal is simple: keep you laughing, relaxed, and fully in the moment while I capture all the big milestones and the tiny, in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours. By the time you get your final images, you’ll have a collection that’s joyful, heartfelt, and full of love — a true celebration of your story, your family, and your legacy.

On a more personal note, I am a...

  • Extrovert at heart — my soul craves community!
  • Your go-to girl for last-minute plans — I’m always down for an adventure.
  • Slightly (okay, maybe very) obsessed with coffee.
  •  Swimming with dolphins and sharks used to be at the top of my bucket list… until my husband FINALLY went with me shark diving - best. day. ever.
  • I love Jesus with my whole heart and live each day to give Him glory.

LOVE STORIES FROM PAST CLIENTS

" Maria Tellez Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding "

From the very beginning, Maria's communication was very engaging, attentive, and professional. She was great with us on the day of the wedding, not only capturing beautiful, detail-oriented, visionary and artistic moments, but also being very personable and easy to work with. Maria went above and beyond, helping to keep me calm and unstressed on an otherwise hectic day. The pictures she delivered were incredible, perfectly capturing the magic and beauty of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Maria's work, and highly recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
