I did a boudoir photo shoot with Maria. I asked her if she does this photography but she didn't, however offered to try. This was such an INCREDIBLE experience! Maria made me feel so comfortable, she had glam make up which made me feel so beautiful. She knew so many poses, listened to my suggestions, would direct me on how to pose to get the best angles. Thr photos were gorgeous and empowering!!! I 100% recommend Maria for any of your photo needs. Sorry, can't add any of those photos 😊

I recently had a headshot session with Maria, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, well-prepared, and even arranged for a professional makeup artist, which made such a difference. I usually hate myself in photos and struggle with posing, but Maria was incredibly patient and gave me great tips that made me feel comfortable and confident. The photos turned out amazing. I will definitely be returning for future sessions and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive photographer.

Thank you to Maria — she managed to capture the warmest moments of our event. Reportage photography is a unique form of art. As someone who usually doesn’t like how I look in photos, I was truly pleased with her work. Thank you so much!

I wholeheartedly recommend and deeply thank photographer Maria for her work at our women’s event. She captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish for a long time. All our guests felt at ease and opened up naturally in front of her camera, resulting in stunning, soulful photos! We will definitely be turning to Maria again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Maria Elaeva during a women’s transformation branch in Vancouver, and she was absolutely phenomenal! She captured the energy, emotion, and strength of the day so beautifully — from candid moments to powerful portraits. Her warm presence put everyone at ease, and the final images were not only stunning but deeply meaningful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and intuitive photographer!
