About Me

Hi there! I’m Maria

I’m an emerging Conservation Photographer and naturalist with a solutions oriented mindset. As a visual-story teller located in Southern Oregon, I’m putting my skills and photography to work to bridge the connection between People and Nature. Photography is a powerful tool that can plant the seed of change by shifting the way you see yourself, and the way people see a particular subject.

I want my photography to have an impact in shaping perceptions, increasing awareness about environmental and societal issues, and inspire change. My great hope is that my photography sparks a connection with Nature and encourages action to protect and care for our Planet.
