Maria Vara

Originally from Costa Rica and now finding my groove in the United States since 2014. Quick glimpse into my life - I'm happily married to the love of my life and share my days with my two fur-babies, Koda and Rosie!

Now, let's dive into my passion: photography. Back in the day, I'd sneak away with my dad's camera to snap pictures. I honed my skills at the Vancouver School of Arts & Academics, delving into photography and graphic design. Since 2016, it's been my creative outlet and my life's work. Then in 2019, I made it official and turned my passion into my business - got it all legit in 2022! From artistic portraits to capturing the magic of love, I dive into various photography styles - I'm up for any challenge!
Now, while I'm on the path towards ophthalmology at PCC, my days are filled with the delightful chaos of preschoolers, where I share knowledge and laughter as a teacher. But let me be real - my heart's calling me towards making photography my full-time gig.

Beyond just simple pictures, I'm capturing dreams with my lens. It's about crafting vibrant stories from ordinary moments, adding depth and color to every frame. Let's team up and create something captivating - because turning dreams into visual wonders is what I do best. 

​Photography is my life and my one true career, and you will see that in your photos.
