Mara Shoots

If I could give Mara 10 stars, I ABSOLUTELY would! We did our photos at the beach in San Francisco on a sunny weekend day, the same day as the dog surfing competition, so needless to say, it was SO busy! Mara messaged me when she arrived at the beach to let me know how busy it was, but she had faith that we could make it work. When we got there, the beach was PACKED. As a photographer myself, I was absolutely cringing thinking about how much editing she was about to have to do! But Mara was so wonderful, kind, and patient. She did INCREDIBLE with my family, and you can truly tell that she cares about more than just taking beautiful photos. She genuinely wants you to leave feeling happy with your entire experience, and we absolutely did. And when we got our photos back, I was BLOWN AWAY. The results were INSANE. 100/10, GORGEOUS, and everything I could have asked for and more! I will use her a million times over whenever we need photos. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, kind, and truly cares about her clients, I cannot recommend Mara enough! 🤍

Mara aka Miss Mara (to my kids) has been photographing our family for 3 years. This year will be the 4th year! She is so incredibly awesome to work with. I trusted her from the second I saw her photos. She is so talented and I feel so blessed to be able to know her, support her business and be photographed by her. She’s just amazing!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Mara! I’ve worked with her for multiple branding shoots now, and every single time she somehow takes the vision I have in my head and brings it to life even better than I imagined. Mara is SO personable, easygoing, and genuinely fun to work with. She makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and our shoots always feel like we’re just hanging out and having fun while somehow also creating the best content. One of my favorite things about working with her is how invested she is in the entire process. She doesn’t just show up and take photos. She’ll brainstorm with me, help me come up with ideas, talk through what will and won’t work, and really take the time to understand the vibe I’m going for. She has even traveled hours away with me to shoot at a specific studio because I had a vision in mind and she was completely on board with making it happen. That alone says so much about the kind of photographer she is. At this point, I trust Mara completely with my brand because she just gets it. She knows how to capture my personality while still keeping everything true to my business and my vision. And honestly, one of the best things to come out of working together is that somewhere along the way, Mara became more than just my photographer. She became a genuine friend. 🤎 I’m so grateful I found her and truly couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my branding photos. I cannot recommend her enough!
