maria J, the women behind the lens.

Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, I spent most of my life raised in northern Utah. I love the sun, slow mornings, and afternoon iced golden eagle from Dutch Bros at any time of the year. A good outfit paired with music is my guilty pleasure. Nature is my answer to everything. It’s where I go to breathe, to feel present, to just be still for a minute.

I’ve been passionate about photography for over five years now. I deeply feel things, and photography has always been my way of making sense of those emotions. The only way I can hold onto a moment is by capturing it through photography.
