Bio

Maria Newhouse is an accomplished family, lifestyle, and portrait photographer based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. For over a decade, she has captured the special moments and unique personalities of her clients through her creative and timeless photographic work. A life-long photographer, the birth of her first child inspired Maria to invest in her first DSLR camera. A mother of four amazing children, taking countless photos of her growing family taught her to capture the beauty of each moment and the unique personality of every individual. Since launching Maria Newhouse Photography in 2019, she has built a reputation for her passion for natural light and candid moments, crafting images that clients cherish for a lifetime. In 2022, Maria embarked on an exciting project with her children called "Through Their Eyes," delving into the world of macro photography. This not only involved her children in her work but also reignited her love for capturing the intricate details of the world around us. As her children have become active in sports and the performing arts, Maria now frequently finds herself courtside or in the audience, always ready to preserve those special moments through her lens. A lifelong learner, Maria is constantly seeking to expand her photographic skills and techniques. She believes in the power of photographs to tell stories and evoke emotions, and she feels honored to be a part of her clients' most precious milestones. Beyond her work, Maria is an avid reader and enjoys exploring new destinations with her family, experiences that further enrich her creative vision. Whether behind the camera or spending quality time with loved ones, Maria is dedicated to making each moment memorable and special.
