hi there!!
I'm Maija! I am a wife, a boy mom, a wedding & lifestyle photographer, and I have a small obsession with sharpie pens and wine (not together of course!) I'm so glad you stumbled upon my page or maybe you got here on purpose, either way, I'm glad you're here and look forward to getting to know you!!
My deepest desire is to capture the most authentic you, wrapped in beautiful light, filled with the joy & warmth in the moment, and then to give you those images to relive that genuine moment over & over again. And to have a whole heck of a lot of fun along the way!

**Central Washington is my home away from home. My travel fees do not apply to the Wenatchee/Leavenworth valley**
Photography to me is more than just a click of the shutter, it's giving a moment that is fleeting a chance to say "I am going to stay lasting." I believe in being present and capturing the truth in a moment. Life is full of all our little in between moments, joyful smiles, tears of laughter, and passionate hugs. These are the ones that matter the most and my goal is to capture those feelings for you to have and to hold close to your heart.
My style would best be described as "directed photojournalism" - it's pure raw emotion meets cover-of-Vogue amazing! I believe in beautiful natural lighting (it's the ideal paintbrush), incredible backgrounds, and choosing locations very carefully. I never pose a situation that is already magical, yet understand that direction is a powerful tool for designing a gorgeous end result.
I am a full service wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of Boise, ID, but I travel often to many places throughout the Pacific Northwest and I have an extra special bag already packed for those that need me to travel! I've been doing this gig for over a decade, and pinch myself regularly that my job is spending time with and capturing those on their happiest most memorable of days, whether it's a wedding, family session, or welcoming a new little one into the family.
Blessed, honored, and thankful! - Yours truly, Maija
More About Me
More About Me
Oh to sum up life into two small paragraphs and try and give you a glimpse into who is behind the camera - no small feat, but here it goes. ;)
I'm a believer that we should never take life too seriously, life is far too short and sweet. We should always take time to be in the moment, to love deeply, and give with our all. I'm a Mama of 2 wild, intense, passionate and sweet boys, and a wife to one very kind hunk of a man, who just so happens to be my high school sweetheart. I won the Jack Pot with this guy in his heart, looks and brains! Yay me :) I've traveled near and far (two of my favorite spots are Thailand and Australia). I love a good solid adventure, and have a small obsession with Sharpie pens and wine. Most evenings you'll find me with a glass of wine in hand, my hubby sitting on one side of the couch recapping on the day or dreaming/planning about what we want the next five years of life to look like. This of course is right after experiencing what feels like a tornado blew through our house, but nope, it was just our little rascals.
I love a good challenge, so if you put me up to one I'll take a stab at it. I'm a good listener, lover of God, a Jeep owner, and an animal lover (though currently our only two pets are our kids - dog to join the family soon!) I'm a middle sister, a peace-maker, a World Vision supporter, and always willing to try new things. I'm a huge Nike hooded zip-up fan - I'm wearing one as I type this. I really really like cheese and popcorn, believe in a balanced healthy lifestyle, I'm a boot camp instructor and fitness enthusiast. Just in case you are thinking about buying me flowers, tulips and poppies are my favorite. The color purple makes me happy. And I have been known to cry over some commercials, but MOST importantly I'm a huge sucker for love stories and I want to hear yours!!
