hi, I'm mariam

Being a photographer, I've literally captured thousands of photos. But do you want to know which images I cherish the most? It's the images I have of my loved ones. These photos are irreplaceable and every time I look at them, I feel a sense of happiness and warmth in my heart.

As your wedding and portrait photographer, my goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I use a mix of sweet prompts and poses that will help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We will create beautiful and timeless portraits for you to enjoy, for years to come. 

My ultimate goal is that you will love these photos so much, that you print them and decorate your home with these images. I am so honored to work with you!!
