The woman behind the camera.

My name is Mariah and I am the woman behind the camera. I am a photographer based in Iredell County, NC. I am also a nurse and mom of two beautiful kids. I have always dabbled in arts, even as a child, getting my hands into drawing, music, and photography. My love for photography really started in middle school where I would capture photos of nature and my childhood best friend. In high school this love further grew, where I participated in yearbook capturing candids of the beautiful souls around me and would travel to capture the beauty of the world around me.  Kids and the flexibility of my nursing schedule led me back to this passion. With so many options for photography, I want to bring you unique sessions geared to capturing the raw and beautiful you. I have always desired to help others and bring out the brighter side of their smile. Let's travel, let's shoot, let's capture your special moments in life. With Sunshine & Smiles Photography- I hope to bring you those happy moments in a snapshot that you will be able to cherish for a lifetime.
