About Maria

I am a commercial and editorial photographer specializing in food and product photography. My dual passions for baking and my camera led me to pursue a career in food photography in 2013, and I have been falling for new subjects ever since. Nowadays, I love working with

While I pride myself on being adaptable to my clients’ brand aesthetics, texture and color are essential in all of my images. Regardless of what is in front of my camera, I bring a critical eye to every shoot. I have worked with both small businesses and larger national brands for editorial and advertising projects, and I have a soft spot for cookbook photography (seven books to date!). My work has been printed in the New York Times and included in a winning Clio Cannabis integrated campaign (2023).

I travel for my work, but I’m based in Columbus, Ohio, where I live with my husband, two kids, and two cats. When I’m not on set, you’ll probably find me playing a board game, watching horror movies, reading, cross-stitching, and doing other nerdy, introverted things.
