MEET MARI
(your photographer)
I was 23, freshly married and dreaming big about creating art and making my mark in the world. I fought through near-crippling feelings of inadequacy from the moment I found out I was pregnant.
I didn't know what I was doing; I just knew I wanted my kids to grow up feeling loved.
Six years later, I look at the messy, sticky art that we've created and feel pride. Our little family of five has been a safe space for all of us as we've navigated the more excruciating and confusing parts of life.
Looking back, I see that starting a family isn't something that you can fully prepare for; it's something you grow into, and alongside... and I'm so friggin passionate about capturing every bit of that messy middle for our clients.
The sunshiney, summer lovin’ half of this sister partnership. You’ll find me on IG, in the DMs, and answering your texts once you reach out.

I got married and had my daughter when I was in my 30's.
We've had dark seasons, both as a marriage and as a family struggling to grow - so pictures and stories of polished families don't resonate with me.
When I think of Sunnypop, I'm always considering the different seasons that families go through.
I don't want to leave anyone behind.
Your family isn't too messy, too imperfect, or too small.
Your story is worthy of being captured.
Not "someday" when it "gets better,"
but now.
Our down-to-earth, dark humored, logistical all-star.
I’ll be behind-the-scenes making sure every detail of your experience is taken care of.
