There not a single one I don't like. Not even a little bit! You are magic! I'm am so beyond happy with these!" - Jessica Caldwell

 

"We had such a great experience with Maria taking maternity and newborn pictures! We just got our son's newborn pictures back and they are so so beautiful. She was so professional and took the time to get our son in the most perfect positions. We are more than thrilled and highly recommend Scrappy Doodles Photography!" - Holly Anderson

 

"Maria did such an amazing job capturing photos of our new family and had the patience of an absolute saint when dealing with 2 newborns (and 2 adults "functioning" on about an hour of sleep) From the day we started talking ideas, her visions for the shoot were better than I could have imagined. I'm also truly thankful she was willing to make the trip to Marion for the lifestyle shoot as the thought of us being in the car with the twins for 5 hours was quite overwhelming. If you're in the market for newborn or family photos, I highly recommend Maria and Scrappy Doodles Photography & Design!" - Linsday Andrew

Thank you so much Maria!" - Julie Rivera

"Thank you so much Maria for such an amazing experience! She was so attentive to my newborn's needs during the shoot, making the whole experience stress free and relaxing.
