It’s a new year, and with it comes a fresh website, renewed creativity, and hopeful anticipation for all that God has in store for puddle-WONDERFUL photography in 2026.
Last year was beautifully full. From sacred wedding Masses to joy-filled family sessions, there was a noticeable increase in projects and a calendar brimming with stories to tell. It was a busy year in the very best way, and for that, my heart is deeply grateful.
To every couple and family who stepped in front of my camera in 2025: thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your precious memories, for inviting me into your churches, homes, and favorite Virginia spots, and for allowing me to witness your love, laughter, and grace up close. It was a true honor to serve you and to create images that you can hold onto for years to come.
As this new year begins, my hope is to continue leaning into meaningful, relationship-centered photography—images that feel honest, joyful, and rooted in what matters most. Whether you are preparing for your wedding day, celebrating a new baby, or simply wanting to pause and remember this season with your family, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
If you’re looking for a photographer for your upcoming wedding or your growing family, I’m here for you. Let’s create memories that feel like you—warm, real, and wonderfully worth remembering.
Auspice Maria
