I'm Mariah,

...lover of all things in beautiful light. As an English major, I started in the creative world by becoming a writer and high school teacher. After close to 10 years of teaching, I then discovered that photographs are poems in themselves. They tell the stories of people’s lives, and they turn people and their emotions into great works of art. Photographs drive out the happiness in people’s lives even amongst the frustration and chaos of getting ready and picking out clothes for sessions or making children behave for a shoot. In the end, people see the beauty within their own lives. Photographs are “soul catchers” like that. They capture the happiness within.

I aim for your experience with Mariah Springs Photography to be beautiful, and simplistic. Join me in my natural light studio, out in the fields and paths of Pittsylvania County, or in the beautiful and historical downtown Danville for your portraits.
