# About me

Figured it was time I updated this a little bit :)

My name is still Mariah. I'm now working on the professional side of photography as a portrait artist... hoping to one day specialize as a glamour/fashion senior photography. My inspiration has always been dreams, fantasy and color. I also dabble in graphic design and digital painting. It keeps me entertained.

I find that my world is happiest when I'm day dreaming. Photography and digital technology gives me the opportunity to put my day dreams into "reality".

I also nerd out:
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Game of Thrones
Hunger Games :)

Current Residence: USA
Favourite genre of music: Red Dirt Country, Bluegrass and Folk (and the occasional rock anthem)
Favourite photographer: Right now? Sue Bryce and her absolutely brilliant portraits are killing me. I am also really inspired by Amanda Holloway in her ability to take a gorgeous senior portrait. And Alex Beadon (who isn't even a photographer anymore I guess...) with her whimsy and sense of surrealism in her self portraits.
Favourite style of art: Impressionism
Operating System: Mac + Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5
Camera: Canon 60D
Favourite cartoon character: Disney from the 90's
Personal Quote: "Whatever you are, be a good one" -abraham lincoln

yep! I'd say 95% of the pictures in my gallery I took... the other 5% are either pictures I've drawn or images in photoshop I've manipulated to create new photos :) (Smile)
