Hello,
I'm max iris
mama.creative.storyteller
I’m Max, a creative storyteller drawn to the in-between moments: the unposed, the unfiltered, the ones that quietly become the most cherished.
I have always been the girl with a camera in hand and a phone full of memories. My family would tease, “This isn’t a picture moment,” but years later those same photos became the ones they were most grateful for. That is when it clicked for me: the tiny, ordinary moments end up meaning the most.
Now, as a new mama, that truth feels even deeper. Time moves fast. You blink and everything changes. I am more intentional with time than ever, and that is what fuels my passion to capture the moments that slip by too quickly, not just for myself but for every family I get to photograph.
A little more about me: I am Latina (you will probably notice by how fast I talk), born and raised in Jersey, married to my high school sweetheart, and always reaching for a king-size Hershey’s Cookies and Cream. I love Jesus, my family, and binge-worthy reality TV. I also work have a career in corporate content, which explains why storytelling is not just something I do. It is part of who I am.
My Approach
I believe the small things are what we hold onto the longest, and that belief guides the way I photograph. I gently guide you when needed, but I also encourage you to simply be yourselves and forget I am there. That is where the real magic happens. The unposed laughs, the quiet in-between moments, and the way you naturally fall into each other are the shots that last.
My goal is to capture the moments that spark joy, carry meaning, and tell your story honestly. Because at the end of the day, you will never regret preserving a memory. You will only regret not having it to look back on. It'd be my greatest honor to capture your family and I hope to hear from you soon.
xo,
Max
