I have always been one to share the different journeys I’ve taken in my life, whether it’s a beautiful one or a difficult one. I find that it makes me more relatable, showing I am simply human and not just this business owner that spends her time shooting beautiful weddings and jet-setting the world (pre-covid, […]

Holley and Cooper met in their second year of Law School at Texas Tech University School of Law when he asked to borrow her notes. They became fast friends, and they stayed good friends throughout school. After they graduated, they both ended up having jobs in Lubbock, TX. They soon began dating, and after two […]

We met with these cuties for an incredibly glow-filled family session in the Bosque of Albuquerque a couple months ago, and we’ve been dying to share the resulting prettiness ever since! We’ve done photos of Katie and Mia before, but the boys— Ian and Leo, the latter being the adorable fellow with the droopy ears— […]

Most weddings include a unity ceremony of some kind. We love tradition, and ceremonies that have been around for generations. But we also love when some couples may be looking to try something different during their ceremony. So we’ve gathered some ideas from our past couples to share with you. These bride and grooms have […]

Doing your engagement session with your wedding photographer is the hill we here at Maura Jane Photography will absolutely die on. Okay, that’s a touch dramatic, but we do feel that it is incredibly important for a litany of reasons, (and if you want to brush up on them, click HERE). In very, very short […]

We met with Kassy and Christian back in September for their engagement session… and these two were the absolute cutest!

It’s funny, my favorite color is turquoise or dusty blue, so I started off planning that this nursery would be more gender neutral when it came to colors. However, as I began to find things I loved for our little one’s room, it turned full on girly girl. The first item I found (and it […]

Last summer we did a series of Wildflower Mini sessions in the Bosque of Albuquerque. With seven different families— limited to five members of the same family or less— we safely took pictures for one family at a time while the next group waited patiently in their car. We made sure everyone was wearing a […]

We met with Bianca and Anthony, along with their adorable furbabies, last July for their engagement session. Not only were Hickory and Dexter included for pictures, but they were the key point in Anthony’s proposal— which, of course, we love! It was NYE, and the couple went to their favorite restaurant. While there, Bianca received […]

Katie, who is originally from here in New Mexico, and Ian, originally from Missouri, met in 2018, a year after he’d moved to Austin, TX and started working for her brother-in-law. They’d become friends, and sparks flew when Katie met him while she was out there for the Fourth of July (awful, cheesy pun intended […]
