Nice to meet you!
I'm Mare
Hi, I’m Mare, photographer, mom, and storyteller behind Mare Photography Studio.
What started as a passion for capturing my own family’s memories has now grown into a heartfelt mission: helping other families preserve the most beautiful, emotional, and fleeting moments of their lives.
I specialize in cake smash photography, milestone sessions, maternity, family portraits, and small celebrations, always focused on creating a relaxed, warm experience and timeless images you’ll treasure forever.
Let’s make magic together!
The Mare Studio difference
Never rushed
Sessions move at your child's pace. Full stop.
Creative custom sets
Every backdrop, prop, and outfit is thoughtfully styled by Mare.
Client wardrobe
No shopping stress — we have a beautiful wardrobe collection for all ages.
Warmth & patience
Every family deserves to feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated.
"She guides you through every step of the process and turns the vision you have into reality. She is extremely patient, especially if you have little ones. You can tell the love and dedication she puts into her work."

Family Session
A space built for families
The La Verne studio is a boutique space designed to feel warm, comfortable, and fun. Custom creative sets change seasonally. The wardrobe collection is curated with kids and mamas in mind — beautiful pieces in a range of sizes.
Outside the studio, I also photograph families on location — parks, gardens, lakes, and beaches. Every outdoor session is planned together: tell me the vision, and I'll recommend the perfect spot.

"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
