About me

Hi, my name is Maria! I am the founder behind River Rose Photography. I’m a mom of two littles and married to my high school sweetheart. My passion is capturing timeless & beautiful photos that will look incredible forever.

Photography is a creative outlet. It is way to see the world & to meet people from all walks of life. From hand painting backdrops, to creating gowns for my clients, my entire world revolves around artistry & creativity. I am daily growing into my ambition to beautifully capture the stories & important moments of those I have the honor of working with. My style of photography is timeless, classic & romantic with a high fashion & editorial flare. Every image is a work of art!

Mariya is PHENOMENAL.

Not only are her photos spectacular, her energy is lovely and warm and I was impressed with every single step of my experience. She responded quickly to my inquiry and helped my vision come to life. She helped me feel comfortable and relaxed and I am obsessed with EVERY photo. She feels like a part of my family now and I plan on having her capture all of our special moments. She is incredibly talented and I am so glad I found her. Highly recommend!!
