ABOUT ME
My name is Maritza (rhymes with pizza) Sanchez. I was born and raised in McMinnville, OR in a Hispanic home by loving parents who worked so hard to give myself and my 3 older, beautiful sisters (me being the youngest) the best life they could imagine while keeping us humble and respectful.
My 8th grade year, I met the man of my dreams and ended up marrying him a few years after graduating high school! In 2016, my husband joined the U.S. Navy and since I couldn't stand being away from him during his boot camp-I quit my job, said good-bye to my friends and family then moved to California where I decided to pursue photography. Now we're back in the PNW! We have two wonderful children that I'm pretty crazy about! My son is 15 years old, and my daughter is 8 which gives me pretty great experience with kids during our family sessions.
When I'm not behind the camera I'm a stay-at-home mom during the week and have a full-time job on the weekends building cabinets. I'm also taking my son to school and jiu-jitsu practice and playing with my daughter. I love keeping our house spick and span! My husband used to cook, and I would clean. I absolutely used to dread cooking, but now I like to find new recipes on Pinterest and try them out. My guilty tv pleasures have got to be the Bachelor seasons, Game of Thrones and anything Marvel universe (hello, 15-year-old son?)!
My love for photography has always been with me since I first had a polaroid camera back when I was a teenager. I've never really thought about making this a business (until I quit my job of course) and now I wake up every day and love what I do!

WHAT TO EXPECT
I love the thought of stopping time in a single frame and playing it back in your head every time you look back on it! The type of photos I enjoy taking are when you least expect and in natural light! The kind during sunset, when a couple is glancing at each other, and forget I'm there. I literally am there as a third wheel on an amazing date you'll get to reminisce through photographs.
I'm looking to meet some amazing people who won't mind rolling in the dirt and chasing sunsets to get the perfect shot! I absolutely love exploring new places and although I'm not the athletic type, I'm always up for a hike to the top of a mountain for a stunning shot. I want to be able to provide you with epic photographs that you're going to want to print and hang up on every wall of your home!
My goal is to 100% give you the best photography experience you can get! If you have special requests-I will try to go above and beyond to make them happen. My goal as a photographer is giving my all into your photos, because I know and understand they're meaning in your hands for years to come. I can't wait to see what kind of special moments I can create for you!
