Hello, I'm MAria
Lifestyle Photographer
Hi, I’m Maria — the heart behind the lens at Bella Notte Photography. Photography has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. My love for capturing moments began in childhood, inspired by my grandma who was always filming us with her camcorder. Later, she introduced me to scrapbooking, and from there, my passion for preserving memories only grew stronger.
Today, I specialize in lifestyle family portraits, business branding, sports, and event photography, but my work truly spans everything in between. Whether I’m freezing a moment of real-life connection, showcasing someone’s brand, capturing an athlete’s fire, or creating something beautifully bold — I pour my heart into every session.
I believe in storytelling through images — the candid, the powerful, the playful, and the unforgettable. My goal is to create photos that make you feel something now, and treasure them forever.

I got chills looking at the gallery. Maria did an amazing job capturing my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. I definitely recommend her to everyone.

*5-Star Review for Bella Notte Photography*
We had the pleasure of working with Maria from Bella Notte Photography for our son’s first birthday, and she truly exceeded our expectations! She helped bring our “Cuatro Turns Uno” theme to life, setting up a beautiful photo booth and a stunning balloon display. Throughout the event, she captured every precious moment—from the treats to the excitement, the decor, and the love shared between family and friends.
When it came time to plan our baby sprinkle for our baby girl less than a year later, we didn’t hesitate to reach out to Maria again. She came with the same calm, cool, and collected demeanor, ready to preserve all the special moments. Her balloon arch and backdrop for our “Baby in Bloom” theme were just as gorgeous as the first, adding that extra touch of magic to the day. We are so grateful for Maria’s talent and can’t wait to work with her again for our next family milestone! Highly recommend Bella Notte Photography!
