We had such a fun and relaxed time in the woods with Maira! In her relaxed and assured way she has perfectly captured the personality and spark of our children. We are thrilled with the photos and are delighted to have happy, outdoor memories of 2020. Highly recommended!

We had a lockdown photo shoot. It was fantastic, we had a range of poses/silly faces/jumps and the photos were fantastic. They were emailed through promptly and have given us a lasting memory. Would definitely recommended Maira and would use her again. Thank you.

Maira took our wedding photos at the Grosvenor Pulford hotel in Cheshire. Maira did an absolutely amazing job with our photos and has given us many memories to cherish. During the day, Maira was unobtrusive but captured all of the moments important to us and we love the relaxed, informal shots of us and our guests that Maira produced. We can't recommend Maira highly enough!

I first found out about Maira back in April, during the first lockdown. She was promoting her doorstep portrait package, which included a donation to a local foodbank. I thought this was a wonderful idea, so simple and yet heart-warming, so I decided to book a doorstep photoshoot for my sons 2nd birthday in May. As a proper birthday party was not an option for him this year, Maira recommended co-ordinating the ice cream man coming to our house at the same time as her photoshoot. The end result was brilliant my son got to see an ice cream van for the first time, and tried his first 99 Flake, and it was all captured effortlessly by Maira. That very first photoshoot experience with Maira led me to book another doorstep portrait for Fathers Day in June, and then another for my sons first day at pre-school in September and then finally a shoot for both Halloween and Christmas! She has captured so many incredible moments for us over the past 6 months, and given us a lifetime of cherishing these photographs, for which I am indebted to her and immensely grateful. I have used a number of photographers since my son was born in 2018, with mixed results either the experience was so prohibitively expensive that I could only do it once, or the experience was cheaper but the photos were of average quality only. Both Mairas photographic skill and her photo editing ability are quite exceptional, and her prices are extremely fair and affordable. Maira is incredibly patient, relaxed and calm when she works, and immediately puts you at ease. The importance of this really cant be understated when trying to photograph a strong-willed and boisterous toddler! She just seems to take it all in her stride. During our Halloween shoot, my son was grumpy and upset for the whole photoshoot so I was worried that there wouldnt be any good photos for Maira to send us but still she managed to persevere and captured the micro-moments when he wasnt complaining. I have no idea how she does it but I am really grateful for her skill! With everything that has happened this year and the collective challenges we have all faced and continue to struggle with in our daily lives, arranging these family photoshoots has really given me something to look forward to. Maira has genuinely been a ray of sunshine this year and I feel so pleased to have found her! Thank you so much Maira, from my bottom of my heart.
