Maria is absolutely phenomenal! We highly recommend her for any photography needs, but especially for newborn photoshoots. She was so patient, kind, warm, and very experienced with babies both as a mother and as a photographer. As new parents, she offered us advice and helped sooth our fussy baby during the photoshoot. She also had wonderful ideas for poses, a variety of wardrobe options to choose from, is very responsive, and returned our final edited photos very quickly. Will certainly use her in the future! read more

Maria is amazing & so kind! She did an on-site customer photoshoot for my company. She was so responsive and organized. She made my customer feel comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing! She delivered every picture we asked for and more. Our entire company is beyond happy with Maria's service and talent for photography. I would 100% recommend her! read more

Maria was absolutely amazing for our lifestyle newborn shoot. She was on time, so warm and friendly, and handled our daughter with love and care! She was so patient with us when we wanted to try and incorporate our dog into a few pictures and when we had to pause the shoot to feed the baby. She is truly the best and I would recommend her every time for newborn family photos! read more

Does Maria really need yet another 5-star review to reveal what a total gem she is? Perhaps not, but here goes: what an incredible discovery - a top-drawer photographer who will knock your socks off with the sheer beauty and timeless quality of her photos; yet chooses to remain affordable, kind and fun - with a wicked sense of humor! A few years ago we had a luxe springtime session in Central Park with a renowned NYC family photographer, which basically cost us 6+ times what Maria currently charges. Maria's work is 100% on par with hers. Over a few years we have now indulged in mini-holidays sessions, a glitter session, and a cherry blossom session and each and every time as we click through the initial gallery, there are SO many great pictures to choose from. Each one belongs in a silver frame! Narrowing down the set down to our favorites is a fun, yet daunting task. Thank you, Maria, for capturing the precious, fleeting moments of our daughter's childhood. We are truly grateful for your immense artistic talent..and for you. read more

WOW!!!!! That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Maria! I found Maria and reached out because I loved the chic and modern style that she does for photography. She was super responsive and very helpful when we were deciding a good time to get our newborn photos taken. The price point was a little out of our budget but I will say it was worth EVERY penny and I'm so happy we splurged and made it happen! Maria prepared us so well by sending out her pre photo shoot FAQ's page. The minute we got to Maria's house, although we had just fed our 2 week old baby, she knew exactly by her cry that she was hungry again. Maria took our daughter to help feed and calm her right away and it worked like a charm. She got her calm and ready for the photo shoot right away. I absolutely adored her little home studio and the options she had for clothing and props. Maria is honestly a baby whisperer; she knew exactly what to do to keep our baby girl asleep the whole time and our pictures turned out better than I could even imagined!! The 3 week turn around period for us to get our gallery back was so hard to wait for because of what we saw in the sneak peek!! We were so excited to share the pics with our friends and family!! She gave us a couple photos for a sneak peek to hold us over until the final reveal. The elegance in her work is hard to beat! She juggled our baby and setting up each scene for the pictures with no problem at all. I truly appreciate her and know that our family will be using her again many times in the future!! Book Maria NOW!! read more

We had done our newborn and cake smash photography for our first child with another lovely photographer but unfortunately she closed up shop. She highly recommended Maria with A La Mode Photography to us and seeing as how we trust her professional opinion, we signed up immediately for our twins' 1 year cake smash photos. I contacted Maria through email and she was extremely easy to reach and communicate with. She understood and respected my ideas while giving me opinions of her own (which I'm so glad we went with!) Her prices are reasonable (less than a lot of other photography companies) and include the fancy cake prices and outfits. Which by the way, the baker she uses makes super cute cakes!! Maria handled all of the set up too, so I didn't have to worry about anything more than getting the kids there. She has an amazing assortment of super beautiful clothing from infants to toddlers (she even had a beautiful dress for my 3 yr old) as well as matching accessories and backgrounds. I love her girly, whimsical aesthetic! On the day of the photo shoot we arrived after their nap, which was nice how flexible Maria was on timing. The room she uses has beautiful lighting and the outdoor space she has is gorgeous as well! Maria was open to incorporating a prop we brought ourselves and also making time for family photos. Unfortunately two 1 year olds and one 3 year old make a rowdy bunch and the kids were all pretty fussy. Maria was extremely patient with them, giving them space but also making sure she got the right shots. We've only seen a sneak peek of the photos but it's already obvious she's a miracle worker with the photos!!! We are so in love and so grateful to have these memories with us. Thank you Maria! read more

Maria did a beautiful Fresh 48 & newborn session with us. For the Fresh 48 (pre-covid), she came to the hospital and did such an amazing job if capturing the best day of our lives. She has such a natural way with children and calming presence. We also have done a lovely mini session with her where she photographed our family without our two crazy dogs and was somehow able to get an amazing shot in a short amount of time. I hope to have her photograph our growing family for many years to come. Highest recommendation. read more

I can't say enough about how absolutely wonderful and talented Maria is. She has an incredibly sharp eye, a kind heart, and a loving demeanor. I honestly feel like she is DC's best-kept photography secret. Maria uses colors, textures, and natural light in a simple yet striking way. She brings an expertise to all areas of her profession... a personal expertise when working with families and babies, an artistic expertise when styling her sessions, and a technical expertise when working with her camera and post-processing. She is a gem, and I'm so grateful to have found her! read more

I have worked with Maria a few times and she is sheer perfection!!!! I have a lot of experience working with photographers from a career stand point and personal experience. I have yet to find anyone that compares to Maria's experience, artistic ability, personality and professionalism. I have two girls who absolutely despise getting their pictures taken. With Maria taking the pictures, they seem to have no problems! She is incredible at getting them to cooperate and manages to capture the most incredible moments! I don't consider myself photogenic at all, yet I love how I look in the pictures she takes. Maria can take such amazing pictures when one would think, there is nothing special around us and long behold, she saw something that makes the most incredible picture! Stop looking for a photographer- you just found the BEST EVER!!! read more

What can I say about Maria - she is just Amazing!! She took beautiful pictures of my babies and our family!! She is extremely patient and creative with your portraits. I have worked with other photographers and felt rushed, but with Maria I was completely at ease. She took her time during your sessions and worked with how the baby was feeling. I am super glad that a friend referred me to Maria! Cant wait until our next session. read more

I usually don't write the reviews, but this time, I couldn't stay quiet. I had to share my experience with Maria and her A La Mode Photography. To start, we didn't arrange for the photo shoot in advance (as we should have) and seeing that our son was born during the busiest/holiday season (Nov-Dec) we didn't expect to get our session until later. However, Maria went above and beyond to accommodate us, and we got a time slot, despite the scheduling difficulties. The session itself was wonderful, Maria is a warm and pleasant person and working with her was great. Moreover, she has a way with little ones and even at an age of 2 weeks, our little one complied with the prosses of the session. Then, a few short weeks later, we got the pictures - SUNNING, AMAZING, BREATHTAKING - these are just a few of many words to describe Maria's work. We were taking away by her talent, ability to capture our son's personality on camera and the highest quality of shots. We recommend Maria with the highest confidence and will definitely come back for more pictures. read more

It was great to be able to go to Maria's studio where all of her props and outfits were available to use and the lighting was perfect. Additionally, Maria was a true professional in positioning and wrapping our baby and getting her in nicely with our 2 and 4 year old. 5/5 stars, great experience, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more
