Atlanta Newborn Photographer for the Woman Who Built Her Career — and Is Now Building Her Family
Lets start planning your session →
Hello
I'm Mariela
You spent years focused on your goals — your career, your relationship, your life. And now here you are, growing a human. It's beautiful and overwhelming and goes by so, so fast.
I'm an Atlanta-based newborn and maternity photographer, and my job is simple: to make sure that when these early days become a blur — and they will — you have something breathtaking to hold onto.
I take care of every detail, from the props and outfits to the lighting and poses, so you can be fully present. No stress. No guessing. Just you, your growing family, and photos that will make your heart ache with love for years to come.

Atlanta Newborn & Maternity Photographer
Creating timeless, artistic photos that celebrate the joys of newborn & maternity
and I know how fast this goes.
Your baby will never be this small again. The curled fingers, the way they fit perfectly on your chest, the sounds they make before they've found their voice — these details disappear faster than you expect.
As an Atlanta newborn photographer with hundreds of studio sessions behind me, I know how to work with newborns safely, patiently, and without rushing. Every prop, wrap, and setup in my Sandy Springs studio is chosen to create refined, timeless images — not trendy ones that will look dated in five years.
You don't need to figure anything out. I handle the wardrobe, the styling, and every pose. All you need to do is show up. I'll take care of the rest — including keeping your baby calm, comfortable, and safe throughout the entire session.
This is a full-service experience for the mother who has high standards and wants portraits that are worthy of her family's story.

Studio Sessions Designed Around You and Your Baby
Pregnancy is one of the most significant things your body will ever do. It deserves more than a quick phone shot in the bathroom mirror.
As an Atlanta maternity photographer, I work with professional women who are intentional about documenting this chapter — women who want portraits that feel polished, personal, and worth displaying on the wall for years to come.
You don't need to stress about what to wear or how to pose. I provide wardrobe options, guide every shot, and make sure the lighting and styling work for your body at every stage of pregnancy. My job is to make you feel like yourself — confident and at ease — not like you're trying to perform for a camera.
The result is a set of portraits that honestly reflect who you are right now, at this exact moment. Strong, capable, and stepping into one of the most meaningful chapters of your life.
