"Mari provided exceptional service throughout the entire process, from initial booking to delivery of the final photographs. Her expertise made the experience enjoyable and seamless. The resulting photos were outstanding. We will definitely be using her again soon!"

Your senior photos are all about you. I am eager to capture your energy, your passions, your fashion, YOU! I started my photography journey with taking senior photos, making them my most popular sessions to date. I have had the honor of capturing over 350 seniors in my seven years as a photographer, from high schools all over Missouri and Kansas! I can't wait to work with Denver seniors for the first time.

"My Experience with Mari was absolutely amazing. I used her for my senior pictures and had a blast. She made me feel super comfortable while taking pictures and was always hyping me up.
She provided me with guidance and opinions while choosing locations and made sure to match my vibe. I loved how the pictures turned out and received them quick. I enjoyed everything so much that I booked another session with her for some studio pictures.
I will forever recommend her to my friends and family because she is the best and her work is outstanding! ."
