Hi, I'm Marelys —
most families call me Mare
I started Mare Photography Studio right here in La Verne. My studio is a place where kids can be kids, parents can relax, and every little detail — from the backdrop to the outfit — is handled.
I believe the best photos happen when families feel completely comfortable and never rushed. That's the whole philosophy.

"I had such an amazing experience! I wanted a smash cake photoshoot but my baby is more in the wild side and can’t stay still so it amazes me how calm and patient Marelys was to get the perfect photos. The pictures came out amazing thanks to the beautiful cake, backdrop, and everything she provided for this experience! Can’t wait to book her again!" — Gissel E.🎁 Get the Free Guide
