Hi, I am mara jade
My love for photography began in high school with a simple camera in my hands and a curiosity for capturing the little things that might otherwise be forgotten. What started as a creative outlet slowly grew into something much more—a way for me to tell stories, preserve seasons of life, and find beauty in the beautifully imperfect.
Over the years, I’ve grown into a style that feels warm, genuine, and a little free-spirited. I’m drawn to golden light, natural movement, genuine laughter, and all the in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours.
For me, photography isn’t about creating something that feels perfectly posed. It’s about capturing you as you are—the wild, the warm, the quiet, and everything in between—so years from now, your photos don’t just show you what life looked like, but remind you exactly how it felt.
 
 
 
 
 
THE MAGIC WAS NEVER IN THE POSE. IT WAS ALWAYS IN THE WAY YOU FELT.
A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOUR INBOX
Be the first to hear about upcoming sessions, seasonal minis, availability, and a little of what I’ve been creating lately.
 
WHEN I’M NOT BEHIND THE LENS…
 
When the camera’s put away, you’ll probably find me chasing a new adventure, tucked away in a cozy café, or spending time with the people I love most.
 
 
 
 
A FEW THINGS I LOVE
Sunsets & open skies · cozy cafés · traveling somewhere new · my family & pets · friends who became family · finding a little magic in the ordinary
At my core, I’m a sentimental soul who believes the little moments are often the ones that mean the most—which is probably why I love preserving them for others so much.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT ME…
I’d love to hear about you. Tell me what season of life you’re in, what you’re dreaming up, and the moments you want to hold onto. Whether we’re documenting something big or simply capturing life exactly as it feels right now, I’m here to create something that feels honest, warm, and entirely yours.
