Maria was amazing! I grew up in front of cameras/on stage, but my fiancé was really uncomfortable with the idea of a professional shoot. maria instantly made him feel at home, and she used a TON of positive reinforcement to make him feel less self-conscious. If you have a partner who’s freaked out by the camera, maria is your girl!!

Maria was wonderful to work with for our engagement shoot! She was easy to reach and very responsive from start to finish. She heard our idea and made it a reality with such ease! From scouting out the location prior to the shoot day, to being on time, to getting to work immediately once we arrived, to helping us pose while also catching candids, to telling us what to expect post-shoot, to editing the photos within a week, to delivering our picks digitally within 48 hours of selections..

The Matsatsa Family
We initially hired Maria for the maternity shots but our baby came early! She converted our session to a newborn and family photo. Communication with Maria was seamless and she took time to explain and answer all our questions. Her studio is very clean and she treated our son like her own child! She kept communicating with us about each shot, and even fed our baby! We honestly would hire her again for any future events/sessions. I highly recommend her!

Maria is an incredible artist. She is professional and personable at the same time. She made my family feel at ease with our maternity photos. We also included 2 of our fur babies and she was great at capturing this special moment. This was an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you Maria and her husband for elevating our experience in our special moment!

Maria went above and beyond for us, she really worked on making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She is friendly, punctual, and a joy to be around. Thank you Maria!

Outstanding Experience!
Maria and her team were professional and easy to communicate with. The price for this type of service was very affordable. It was such a relief that she was able to work with me on a shorter than usual timeline for our wedding. She captured our ceremony beautifully. Maria is a true professional. I highly recommend her for any special event or special moment.

Wonderful to Work With
I absolutely loved Maria and her husband. They were so easy to work with and very flexible on the day of. Maria did my boudoir photos as well and she helped so much with the awkwardness by being so personable and cracking a few jokes to lighten the mood. I am so glad we chose them, and the photos look PHENOMENAL. Go with them, seriously you won’t regret it!

Abbey & Michael
Absolutely loved my session with Maria. Had a lot of anxiety leading up to it. Whether my fiancé and I would know what we’re doing. She made sure we looked Vogue ready.
I asked for a specific feel/editing. And she absolutely crushed it. I am obsessed with these pictures.
Our pictures even came sooner than expected! Thanks Maria!

Trust me.... you want to hire this one if you get the chance!!!! The photos were amazing, she got them turned around in 1/2 the time she promised. She was on time, thorough, kind and (most importantly) very talented!!!! She listened to what we wanted, and made sure we got the shots we were looking for and then some. My family has used her for 3 sessions now and she did great every time.... newborn, beach vacation, and family portraits! I can’t believe

Maria and her husband were absolutely amazing from start to finish. She walked us through every step from lead up to finalized photos and everything in between. She had every angle covered from day of plans to contingencies and even a schedule of what she wanted to shoot - very professional and put our minds at ease. She had our photos shot, edited, and uploaded within a manner of 24 hours - that’s incredible dedication to her craft and her customers.
Lastly, Maria is an absolute beautiful soul and a wonde

Wow. So impressed by Maria - from her ability to build an environment where you feel comfortable from the onset to her incredible (and I mean incredible!) patience working with newborns. Watching her during our newborn shoot was like watching art and science together as she effectively worked with baby and manipulated softly into sweet, delicate poses. The outcome of our photos is exactly what we were hoping for and we’ve received so many compliments on them. And the value was tremendous.

We had such a pleasure working with Maria in our engagement photo session. She was there early (even though under the unprecedentedly terrible traffic in Tidal Basin), and she walked us through the agenda of what we need to do with great guidance. She even brought her husband for modeling!

This was my family's first professional photo shoot ever and I'm satisfied that we went with Maria. I didn't know what was to happen being our first shoot and Maria really helped in explaining what to expect realistically. A couple days before the meet up, the original location I wanted had shut down for the spring time, Maria was very accommodating in making recommendations and suggestions. The day of, she was before on time, which is appreciated. The photo shoot went great.

We worked with Maria for maternity photos. Loved her flexibility with locations including recommendations. We originally wanted Cherry Blossom photos and the weather didn’t cooperate! Maria provided great alternatives and support our decision to move to Old Town Alexandria. While we are awaiting out gallery, we have no doubt there will be great photos!!

Maria and her husband were a pleasure to work for. We got graduation photos done for my significant other. It was our first time having a professional photo shoot done so we were a bit nervous, but they set up a very comfortable environment and made the experience fun and exciting. The pictures turned out great as well. We are really happy with our decision to choose Maria Hopewell Photography!
