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 maternity, newborn, 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 photograph families across the San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Valley — parks, gardens, and your favorite outdoor locations in San Dimas, Glendora, Claremont, Pomona, and Upland.
