“Working with Mariela M Photography was such a pleasant experience. While her talent is exceptional, her ability to make her subject at ease is a special quality. We loved working with her!”

“Mariela is an incredible artist! She did a photo shoot of my son at 3.5 months old and then again as an 18 month old. She does amazing work and is truly passionate about photography. Keeping a 1 year old engaged while producing beautiful photos is honestly something really special. We would recommend her to anyone for any occasion, we can't wait to use her for more photos in our future!”

“We had many photo-shoots with Mariela during the last 5 years, since our daughter was born. We love her portraits in the park and all the family sessions and birthday parties. However I have 2 favorites: when my girl turned 1, and the most recent with my girl and our 2-months-old baby boy. Mariela is so patient! And she is always encouraging us to create unforgettable family memories with my husband and now our 2 children. Not only we really trust her, but she is also very flexible and she is now like part of our family!”

“Mariela has been photographing my three children for the past four holiday seasons. She is a master at capturing the smiles of my three all at the same time, a miracle in itself! She has a wonderful balance of being easy-going at the same time as being professional and artistic. I can remember a couple of instances during shoots when my kids were not in the best of moods, but she somehow captured their moments of happiness from behind the camera. She is skillfully adept at handling multiple kids of different ages and talking to them in a friendly manner to get a spontaneous reaction. I look back at the pictures from the years past and am grateful that she caught my children's joy and beauty on those days. I give the photos of my children to my parents as their Christmas gift and they love them! I will always treasure my photographs from Mariela!"

“Mariela is a great photographer. From the first time we met her, she was very personable and accommodating. We booked Mariela for a newborn and family photo shoot. Mariela handled my newborn with care and was patient and kind, as my oldest was not cooperating. Our photos came out great and we had difficulty choosing our favorites! We would definitely consider Mariela Photography for any future photos our family would need!”

 “I don’t know if it happens to all women but when we are in our forties, we start feeling more attractive and happier. So nothing could be better than capturing all that experience with some professional and unconventional photographs for posterity. I know Mariela’s work and I knew she was the perfect photographer to carry out this very personal project, and I was right! It was a super fun and comfortable session. She let me be myself. The fright and the shame of having extra pounds instantly disappeared because she is confident about the result and she knows how to get the best of you with each click. Another advantage of working with Mariela is that she is very creative and she gives you great advice about locations, wardrobe, style and accessories. She certainly knows how to turn a regular-looking woman into a super Diva.”

“We loved working with Mariela. We had a very big extended family shoot with lots of kids running around. Mariela was very patient and focused and made it all go very smoothly. We actually had a fun time with it and ended up with great photos that everyone loved. We also appreciated how flexible she was taking different types of pictures, inside and outside, and also smaller individual and family shots. I would definitely recommend Mariela.”

“Working with Mariela Murdocco is a luxury. Not only is she an excellent professional who captures the best in oneself, but her portraits also capture your feelings and emotions. I have worked with Mariela on editorial photo shoots and even corporate events, and the results have always been excellent and impeccable.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Mariela on a few projects and fully endorse her work and more importantly, how easy, pleasant and fun it is to work with her. Thank you for the website pictures and the video back in 2013, the recent family portraits and the super cool boudoir album!
Congratulations on your achievements and look forward to future projects!”
