I needed a portrait picture for my company website and a neighbor recommended Maria. I had a great experience working with her. It was easy to schedule an appointment, she gave me some wardrobe advice before I showed up, and then she did a great job of taking my picture. She is very meticulous about getting every detail right and she easily coached me through the process of getting a good picture. She then touched it up and sent over a good picture to use within two days. I highly recommend her.

I met Maria on a day where I was scheduled to have a shoot with a mobile studio for my real estate portrait shots and I was stood up. I reached out to Maria and she was able to accommodate me right away and the pictures exceeded my expectations. I had such a great experience with Maria, I recommend her to anyone looking to do professional photography.

I was lucky, I walked in without an appointment, but Maria the professional that she is did my passport pictures that I needed for my Dutch passport renewal. I think that if you live in the central Florida area and you need passport pictures your are in good hands with Maria.
Follow up: I was finally able to get an appointment with the consulate general of the Netherlands in Miami. The person that took my passport renewal application was very impressed with the passport pictures, that Maria had made. So to all Dutch citizens, in the area,that need pictures for official use at the consulate don't worry they will except them.
