Maija - Your Wedding Photographer

I am living in San Diego, CA and truly loving it! But if you know me, I am a bit torn between my home town up in Washington State and living down here. They both have a strong hold on my heart and I guess you could say I'm blessed because I kind of get to live in both places. I have a photography business that allows me to travel (which is one of my favorite aspects of my life) and see both Washington and California on a regular basis. As a photographer I mainly shoot weddings, but also do child photography, family sessions, and general portriat sessions. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CHECK OUT SOME OF MY ALBUMS! I truly love what I do!! It makes me feel very much alive and like I am contributing to this world. Capturing people's life moments and making them into memories they can forever reflect back on and pass on through generations. While photography is a huge part of my life there are also other important aspects in my life. Like giving back. I have been so blessed in my 30 years of life and so I do my best to find ways to give back. One of those ways is through working with an organization called Celebrating Adoption. I provide my photography services free of charge to families who have just adopted a child either abroad or here in the States. I have also been volunteering a lot for the American Heart Association. Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? I didn't...but now find myself giving time to help raise the awareness. I am also an Aunt of three beutiful children (whom you will find in my photo albums). I LOVE being Auntie Maija...it's one of the greatest roles in my life. And it will have to replace being a mother until that chapter in my life begins. Oh, and number 4 is on it's way! I will be an Aunt times 4! Well, in an effort to save some time I will lump the rest of my life into short phrases or words: I am a traveler (I have already seen so much of the world, but I'm excited for future adventures). I am a committed friend. I love white chocolate mochas. I am very proud of my birthday present to myself 2 years ago...a 2007 Toyota Camery! (Biggest purchase I have ever made, but pround of myself that I could do it). I love my dog Ellie, even though she has to stay up in Washington while I am away...she is one of my best friends. I push myself really hard when I workout...give me a call if you ever want a good workout! I really enjoy a good hike too. And and and and...I could go on forever! But I am impressed if you are still with me. Thanks for taking a little time to find out about Maija!
