Hello Friends

I'm Maria Shayna, a Photographer, Writer, and Digital Marketer in Northern California. 

Whether I'm behind the camera or helping businesses bring their brands to life, I am in love with storytelling. I feel privileged to work with each family, couple, business owner, and individual I meet. 

Explore my photography and marketing portfolios below. 

As a photographer, I've had a camera in my hand since I was 14, developing film, chasing sunsets, and capturing memories. Over the past decade, I've fallen in love with portrait and event photography with a photojournalistic twist. My favorite photographs capture the authentic and candid connection between couples and families. The majority of my work is nature-based, allowing my subjects to shine while being surrounded by the beauty of the earth. I am a travel and hike enthusiast and enjoy blogging and sharing landscapes and my adventures with my partner and animals. 

As a marketer, I specialize in three areas: consulting, social media management and copywriting. Whether you need an evaluation of your organization's marketing, need creative assistance with your social media, or could use a copywriting and editing expert to create or proof content, I've got you covered. I offer a variety of packages and services at various price points and I'd love to help design a package for you.
