As Your Photographer,

I will strive to capture the real emotion. The authentic moments that happen all too quickly. The connection you have with those you love. All of those heartfelt images. When you look back on your photographs, I want you to feel the emotions you were going through in that time. These are your memories + they deserve to be documented in a way that tells your story.

 
 
 
What i’m all about —
 

The idea of starting this business unfolded when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was a stay at home who found myself wanting to document our day to day lives. I felt inspired by those imperfect and unposed moments. The ones that hold the most memories. The feelings I had when looking at those photos, I knew I wanted the same for others. So in 2019, I made the decision to wholeheartedly dive and build my photography business. Definitely one of the scariest things I have ever done, but damn I’m here!! This business has created some of the best friendships, stories and so much personal growth. I have know idea where I would be without it.

I grew up in Missouri (for the most part) and made South Dakota my home. Married my high school sweetheart and we have two kids! We used to spend our days wandering from place to place, living in our camper and those were some of the best times. After a few years of camper life, we officially settled down in South Dakota.

You’ll find me wearing black most days and I’m that person that finds comfort in jeans. I don’t want to tell you too much because quite honestly, I love connecting with people in person.

I want to hear about you!! Tell me the stories, tell me everything you look forward to when it comes to your memories being documented through photographs.

“Mariah is simply amazing. My husband and I totally lucked out getting her to photograph our wedding. Her skills go far beyond photography. Mariah made us feel like we were the only wedding on her mind. We felt her genuine excitement for us and our wedding day. At our wedding, my three-year-old niece pulled the fire alarm 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. Mariah, being the genius that she is, took the opportunity to photograph our guests mingling outside the church after they were evacuated. She turned the most unfortunate situation into an opportunity to capture photos of the people who were surrounding us on our wedding day. 

Mariah was the perfect photographer for us. Her attention to detail, creativity, and calm presence was so appreciated. Our wedding photos will be cherished for the rest of our lives, and we are absolutely in love with our photos. My husband and I will be able to look back on these photos in 50 years and always be reminded of our perfect day. Our wedding photos leave me in tears every time I look at them, thanks to Mariah.“

Mariah is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and has become a dear friend through our wedding season. Her work is impeccable and blows me away every time. She captures the most intimate moments while simultaneously having a blast with whoever she’s around. She’s your personal hype woman in the most authentic way. Mariah will capture who you are, feelings, emotions, love, and all the in between. Her work is far more than just photographing moments. It’s capturing you and your people in the most beautiful way. We are so thankful for Mariah and everything she did for us during our wedding season and wedding day. We could not recommend her enough!!”
