Hello, I'm Mara
For ten years I've hiked, paddled and climbed alongside couples to photograph the moments that matter most. I shoot mostly on digital with a little 35mm film, and I edit everything myself.
Expect gentle direction, zero awkward posing and someone who'll tell you when there's spinach in your teeth.

Mara hiked 6 miles in the dark with us and somehow made it feel like hanging out with an old friend. The photos made my mom cry.
