Maria Elaeva | Burnaby Portrait Photographer

It all starts with a photographer who gets it!

  I’m Maria, a family photographer helping Families in Burnaby get magazine worthy images without the stress. 

 I notice the little things that mean the most: the sparkle in your child’s eyes, the giggle that bursts out of nowhere, the way they still (almost) fit in your lap.  

You won’t need to pose or pretend. I’ll guide your family with ease so you feel comfortable, connected, and beautifully yourselves.  

Because the best photos aren’t perfect. They’re personal.  

This Gets to Be Easy!  Three main steps to your Experience.

1. Book Your Session

Pick your date and I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll guide you through everything so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Feel at Home in Front of the Camera

No stiff poses here. I’ll gently lead your family so you feel comfortable and your real connection shines through.

3. Love What You See

You’ll get a gallery full of images that feel like you.  I’ll help you turn them into lasting artwork for your home.
