PHOTO OF THE YEAR

Thank you to everyone that voted in all the categories!  
Thank you to the Dinko family who represented the Family category.  The weather almost canceled our session but the rain stopped just in time for us to get some shots. I loved this photo of Jake looking back at me.  It was his first time riding in his wagon.
Thank you to Baby Jake for being so cute and cuddly. Baby Jake represented the Newborn category. He wasn't too excited to get his newborn photos taken but once he fell asleep we got some great shots.  I loved the photo of his little feet cradled by his mom and dads hands.
Thank you to Makalie who represented the Senior Category.  I loved so many photos from this category and it was hard to choose just 9 for the competion.  Makalie was one of my senior reps this year.  We had a fun time getting her photos done at Nag Aug park.  She is a beautiful girl and I am sure will do great things in her life. 
And finally thank you to Matt and Kylie.  They represented the Engagement/Wedding category. I met them at Kirby park to get some shots on the baseball diamond and the weather was just fine.  By the time we got to Francis Slocum Park there was a major down pour.  We sat in our cars for almost 30 mins before there was finally a little break in the weather.  We had already rescheduled once and the fall colors were perfect so we were determined to get this session in.  Everything was perfect for almost an hour.  The fall colors just glowed.  Matt and Kylie did perfect.  This was one of our last shots before the rain started again.
This was a close contest....but in the end Matt and Kylie pulled into the lead.


Thank you for your continued support and all the kind words.  2016 has been my best year and I am looking forward to 2017.  Thank you for telling your friends and family about Memories by Maria Photography.  I really do appriciate it!!
I am looking forward to meeting new families, and seeing familiar faces.  I am also looking forward to meeting 2018 Seniors.  I love senior sessions!  
I have many 2017 weddings this year already on the books.  I always feel honored to be choosen to capture their special day in photos.

I love capturing moments in time in a photograph!
