Hi, I'm MARIAH
I am Vancouver Island photographer, copywriter, strategist and content creator.
I work to customize every shoot to each client’s individual vision. This includes scouting out locations, planning poses, and collaborating to ensure that each image comes to life exactly as they hoped.
I understand the importance of connecting with my clients, as building the relationship and comfortability between photographer and client will lead to the best possible experience.
Photography has become a huge source of connection to the city I live in, allowing me to explore Vancouver Island, network and meet with new, wonderful people and document my own life’s journey while also being a part of so many others.
Creativity can be tricky. It can be frustrating and heartbreaking, but it can also be beautiful. I'm here to help you navigate your vision and bring it to life!

“Mariah made me feel confident, comfortable, and empowered. She really knows her angles and guided me through which poses felt natural and would look nice in photos. Mariah chose a fantastic location and was able to see potential in so many different areas of the site. She was dynamic and collaborative, and in the end, I was gifted with a great diverse collection. I can’t say enough great things about Mariah. She is a skilled artist as well as a lovely person to spend an hour of your time with.”

“My fiancé and I were on the fence about getting photos done, but after our experience with Mariah, we are so glad we did! She was relaxed and enjoyable to work with, very accommodating and struck a good balance between giving direction and capturing natural moments. She sent the pictures back super quick, and we had lots of fun looking through them and choosing which to share and frame. I highly recommend Mariah’s photography services to anyone wanting some beautiful, fun, photos!”

“Mariah photographed our wedding in 2018 and provided us with amazing memories that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to Mariah for capturing so many special moments between my husband and I, our families and our friends; I usually burst into tears of happiness every time I watch our slideshow and look at the photos. Mariah is so fun to work with and made us and the bridal party feel at ease. Thank you!”

“My boyfriend and I had never gotten professional photos taken before so we were both quite nervous prior to the shoot. Mariah was so sweet and made us feel super comfortable and relaxed the whole time. She captured amazing photos of us which we got back very quickly. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Mariah. We will definitely be working with her again in the future!”

“Mariah is an extremely driven and inspired artist. I first had the pleasure of working with Mariah when she reached out to me with a collaboration idea. Every time we met in person to merge our businesses, she was prepared, confident and extremely personable. Her communication skills are a standout quality of hers, and her responses are always reliable and informative. Not only have I experienced her talents as a fellow entrepreneur, I’ve experienced them on the other side of her camera.”

“When modelling for her, she makes you feel confident and comfortable. Even if you’re typically not one for photos, Mariah has a way of making it a positive experience. She’ll guide you when needed, and promt you with directions that feel encouraging. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all my interactions with Mariah and am glad people get to experience her talents.”

“Working with Mariah is a dream! She is comfortable to be around, gives great suggestions if you feel unsure of how to pose or move for shots, and is truly passionate and gifted at what she does. I am so happy I discovered her work, and my jaw always drops when I get pictures back from her. Not only has she taken and edited great photographs for marketing my music, but also working with Mariah has given me an opportunity to explore, express, and enjoy myself!”

Monique
“Before shooting with Mariah, I felt a bit insecure and still hadn’t seen a photo of myself that I didn’t want to pick apart. Coming to our shoot, I wasn’t feeling as relaxed as I would have liked - but Mariah made me feel so comfortable, like I was shooting with an old friend. She is always approachable, willing to work with you, kind, punctual, and professional. When she shared the edited result of my shoot with me, I was blown away..."”
