Mariya was born in Moscow and began her career as an international fashion model, living and working in Europe for 10 years before moving to the United States. She eventually settled in Plantation, South Florida, with her family and children.
Nearly a decade ago, she transitioned into photography after her former modeling agency in Miami discovered her talent behind the camera.
Now a mother, Mariya specializes in fashion and lifestyle photography, with a passion for capturing and preserving memories, particularly when photographing families and children. Her creative vision is shaped by her modeling career and her experiences as a mother.
