HI! I'M Maren

hi there!

Hey, I’m Maren, wife, mama, lover of jigsaw puzzles and cozy blankets, Harry Potter nerd, recovering perfectionist, perpetual student, and your photographer.

I fell in love with photography when it showed me a truth that, up until my senior pictures, I’d been unable to see on my own. That I’m beautiful.

That truth started me on a journey to self-love and acceptance and a passion to give others the same gift-  truth. 

My mission, mama, is to capture your story, your truth in a beautiful, poetic way that will lift you out of the daily grind and show you how amazing you are.

Because you are.

RAISE YOUR HAND IF...

…You’ve ever felt discouraged after scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest…

…You’ve ever felt like you’re not enough because you can’t manage to do ALL the things…

…You’ve ever felt weighed down by the “expectations” of marriage, motherhood, and homemaking…

…You’ve ever caught yourself so distracted by the daily grind that you feel disconnected from your loved ones…

you're not alone.

As mamas, we are constantly bombarded with controversy, comparison, glorified hustle, and so much noise.

It’s never been so easy to lose yourself. To feel less than. To feel defeated.

When you look at the pictures from our time together, I hope you see yourself, REALLY see yourself.

The way your partner and kids do…

I hope you see how your kids look at you… with complete confidence and trust. I hope you see that in their eyes, you are the very definition of beauty.

I hope you see how your partner sees you… beautiful, sexy, strong, their rock and best friend.

This is your truth.

Truth that you’re often too close, too consumed with the day-to-day, too caught up in the hustle to see.

That you’re beautiful. Loved. Powerful. And freaking killing it!

I want you to SEE you…

..and the beauty of exactly who you are and where you are in this chapter of your story.
