Hey, i'm Maria

Welcome

to my world

 

Maria Guzman | Perth Photographer

What if being photographed felt less like performing, and more like coming home to yourself?


Because not all photography is created equal. Some images are beautiful. Others are powerful.


I believe photography can be a gentle act of witnessing, a way to honour your truth, not just your appearance.


Whether you're celebrating motherhood, connection, or your own quiet becoming, I'm here to hold space for what matters.


My sessions are slow and intentional. They’re shaped by trust, presence, and the belief that you don’t need to be anything but yourself to be seen.


This isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating images that feel grounding, honest, and full of life, now and in the years to come.


What would it look like to honour this chapter of your life?

Everyone is welcome here


I believe in creating a space where all love, identities, and stories are honoured and celebrated. No matter your background, who you love, or how you express yourself, you are seen, valued, and safe in front of my lens. I proudly support the LGBTQIA+ community and all minorities, and I am committed to capturing you as you are, beautiful, authentic, and worthy of being documented.

Raw and unfiltered beauty in a quiet landscape — woman connecting with body and breath on dry stone in the Perth Hills.
This is where the magic lives, in the stillness, the breath, the in-between.


Every image is an offering:
to your story, your softness, your strength.

I keep this experience very close to my heart. Maria is such a dedicated and talented professional. Her energy is contagious, and her vision was so inspiring that allowed me to flow naturally in every setting during the photoshoot. Her directions came from a place of respect, beauty and female body empowerment, making me feel confident in each pose and deep appreciation towards my own body. It was an absolute honour to be captured through Maria's lens.

I loved the whole process and felt super comfortable knowing that Maria was super experienced & organised. As it was winter time in Perth and we wanted a beach shoot, we needed to wait for a weather window. Maria was super patient and flexible with the timing to get our perfect weather, which we were so grateful for. I don’t usually like being in front of the camera but Maria made me feel super comfortable. It was fun, easy and felt so natural. Maria nailed every single photo and we were so impressed by her.

She’s not only incredibly talented but also has an amazing ability to make you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for both personal shots and showcasing my jewelry, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. She came prepared with fantastic ideas and thoughtful props, which added so much depth and creativity to the session. Her organisation and attention to detail were top-notch, and the results? Absolutely stunning!

Maria has an incredible gift for holding space and allowing you to truly connect with yourself in front of the camera. During the photoshoot, she made me feel so safe and comfortable, creating an environment that was both fun and light-hearted. It was such a liberating experience, more than just a photoshoot, it felt like a beautiful reminder of self-love and a chance to be fully present in my body. Maria's talent is unmatched, and I’m so grateful for the way she guided me to really embrace myself.

Maria has shot 3 times for me. Once for maternity, once for my wedding, and most recently at my home with my baby. She effortlessly captures the special moments and makes you feel really comfortable. The photos I have from Maria are unlike anything I’ve seen and I’m forever getting compliments on them.

Maria’s talent and professionalism as a photographer is incredible. She made me feel really comfortable in front of the lens when it’s not my usual place to be, she held a shared vision of what I wanted and scouted places that would suit that vision, she is hands on, proactive and supportive throughout the whole process making the whole shoot feel effortless, and the result was some beautifully crafted and unique photos I can use for my new brand.
