authentic.personal.
emotive. classic.
images that set you apart from everyone else created by an authentic experience where you can feel like yourself.
If you asked me why I love my job so much, it's not about taking awesome photos (I mean, that's super cool too) or getting to go to beautiful weddings. I love what I do so much because of the relationships that I get to build with some of the coolest people I've ever met. My couples and getting to know them is the backbone behind everything about why I am a Wedding Photographer. Being able to meet, hangout and truly get to know you is the most important part of my process. So, let's hangout, let's get coffee and if you're down... can we PLEASE get either sushi, tacos or pho? Can't wait to meet you!
Her ability to make both my husband and me feel completely at ease in front of the camera was truly remarkable.

it's your new bestie:
hi, it's mayah!
Your Wedding Photographer, mother, big foodie, dog lover, and your new best friend.
YAYYYY! I'm so excited you're here! If you didn't already know, I have a kick-ass daughter, Ava. Her and her dad, Eric, are my biggest supporters ever. Eric and I have been together for a whopping 12 years and it's been the best 12 years of my existence. We are obviously HUGE dog lovers over here as we are always cuddling with our fur baby, Chubbs. Outside of having a pretty darn cool family, you can catch me trying out new restaurants in Chicago and all over the world. I love to travel, try new cuisines/restaurants everywhere and get to meet cool new people wherever I go. Can't wait to meet you!
