LET’S SCRIBBLE

Who’s this Maryam character, you ask? I’m a creative mad scientist with a camera in my hand. A sunny mischief-maker who’s crazy and outgoing with wild kids, but calm and patient with shy kids.

Weird families are my all-time fave! Which is why I don’t do curated Instagram perfection. You heard me: no posing or sucking in your belly, EVER. Let’s create a super fun, stress-free experience that captures you and your posse exactly the way you are. 

YeS! LET’S WORK TOGETHER

SOUND LIKE WE
WOULD GET ALONG

I WAS BORN AND RAISED ON THE ISLAND OF GUAM.

My dad is from Belgium, my mom is from Iran, they met in Dallas, TX and eventually moved to Guam. I mostly identify as human (though some days are more questionable than others).

MY PRIZE-WINNING RECIPE

FOR UNBORING FAMILY PHOTOS

MAKE ART WITH ME

Colorful Explosiveness

Like your science fair volcano in 3rd grade.
Exciting and unexpected and a little messy.

Nostalgic Vibes

Like the sweet analog snapshots in your parents’ attic. (Minus the permed mullets...unless you’re into that ;).

Lowkey Fun

Like the goofy inside jokes you make when no one else is there. Relaxed, heartfelt and real.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

TRUST

I’m your pal, not just your photographer.

KINDNESS

All the good humans, please stand up!

INCLUSIVITY

Everyone deserves respect (and rad photos).

CREATIVITY

Magic happens when we play hard.

PLEASE DO YOU ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

PRO-DIVERSITY *
PRO-EQUALITY * PRO-LOVE
* PRO-EMPOWERMENT

PRO-DIVERSITY * PRO-EQUALITY * PRO-LOVE * PRO EMPOWERMENT

Whoever you are, me and my camera are here to hold space for you to shine. Because every human on this planet deserves the same love and respect, and because you’ve got a serious groove going on over there.
