Documenting life’s real moments with editorial elegance — from weddings and families to dreamers launching their brands, I capture the joy, beauty, and heart in every season.
editorial grace, documentary heart.
Photography has always been my way of storytelling—capturing genuine moments, emotions, and the beauty of love in its purest form. Based in the heart of Hill Country, I combine the timeless charm of film with the clarity of digital to create images that feel both classic and fresh.
I’m passionate about getting to know my couples and crafting a photography experience that feels natural, relaxed, and uniquely theirs. Whether we’re exploring the rolling hills of Texas or a far-off destination, my goal is to preserve the moments you’ll want to relive again and again.
When I’m not behind the camera, you might find me exploring local coffee shops, exploring life with my husband, or planning my next travel adventure.
So happy you’re here — let’s create something beautiful together.

"We’re so in love with Luca’s newborn photos. The session was relaxed and natural, and Marina captured perfect, quiet moments like Luca’s eyes opening while Diego held him. This is exactly what I imagined having while I was pregnant—timeless and simple. That image now hangs in his nursery, and I can’t stop smiling every time I see it. We got so many beautiful shots, but nothing compares to that one framed on the wall."

Chic, modern, and strikingly romantic — Vivienne and Sebastian’s rooftop ceremony was a vision of floral abundance and editorial grace. With the city skyline as their backdrop, Vivienne stunned in a voluminous tulle gown that moved like poetry in the wind. This day was a symphony of contrast: raw city architecture softened by blooms, quiet moments amidst a bustling backdrop — the kind of modern fairytale I adore capturing.
