Hi, I'm mailao

Let's get to know each other

My photography journey grew from my search for heart and healing that goes back as far as my early childhood years. From journaling when I was a young girl, to the high school yearbook team, to creating heirloom pieces from photographs. My love for documenting, coupled with the quiet ache of growing up without my mom-the missed memories, the photos that were never taken and the hugs not captured-all fostered my love for photography. Now, as a mom of three, I photograph my own family and other families with a deep sense of purpose. Creating the memories I once yearned for. I know how valuable these memories will mean because I know what it's like not to have them.  I love to create beautiful images, but what I want most is to commemorate the details, the gentle moments, the special bonds and the interactions of your family in whatever season of life you are in. If photographs hold as special a place in your heart as they do mine, I would love to work with you to bring your vision to life.

 

 

"You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow they will be a little bigger than they are today. This day is a gift. Breathe and notice. Smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today. It will be over before you know it."
