About Me

Photo by Monica bee Photography

My name is Maria, but I am most often called Miss Ria by the children I know and work with daily.  I attended and now work in a Montessori school in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Born a Husker fan, three minutes after my twin brother, I grew up loving family, sports and spending time with children, and my dog Otis.  I have always loved taking photos and was given a real camera by a teacher when I was 10, and my journey began.   

 I love creating and documenting special moments. I like to be familiar with my clients, and I hope a bit of this relationship is reflected in my photos.   

I consider this the beginning.  A series of first-steps with my subjects, and the start of special little moments together, documented with my camera.  The best part of photography for me is sharing the photos with family, capturing a character, communicating a moment, or summing up a personality in one photo or series of images. I am excited to begin this journey together.
