About me
Hello!
Hi- I'm Mireya
Hey there! As I welcome my thirties this fall of 23', I can’t help but reflect on how much life has taught me over the years. I’m a small-town girl from SWK, a proud mother, and a photographer who’s been capturing moments for a decade now.
Life has given me a lot of wisdom through the seasons, and it’s this rich experience that I bring to my photography. I’ve learned that there’s something truly magical about seeing the beauty in everyday moments—the kind of beauty you might not notice yourself but can be captured and cherished in a photograph.
What I love most about what I do is helping you see your world through a different perspective in art. It’s a special feeling to reflect back the real, authentic moments of your life, and it’s what I strive for with every session. I’m here to offer you more than just photos—I want to give you a glimpse into those everyday moments that are so fleeting but so precious.
Thank you for considering me to be a part of your story. I’m excited to bring my perspective, experience, and a bit of small-town charm to your photo sessions!

Hi- Im the photographer behind MJP
I am home with my family, they keep me busy as ever. We have two sweet and energetic girls that are always on the go! I love listening to podcasts, and when the mood strikes I find myself writing out all the things overflowing on my mind. I love painting, and working with my hands when I get the chance. My friends and clients often read me as genuine, kind, personable, and down to earth. I personally just think of myself as a go with the flow kind, and party when its go time. ;)
When I'm not at a session, Im here--

My favorite Things
Hey there, I'm mir- ay- uh, a laid-back gal if you will, who's all about taking in life's purest moments, both behind the lens and more. I find Golden Hour to be my favorite thing in life, not just for the perfect photo, but because it slows everything down to that "core memory moment" – pure nostalgia, if you ask me. If you are a millennial, you know we often live there rent free. ;)
I'm a firm believer in the beauty of mundane moments. Those everyday moments are the threads that weave our life together + form the love and connection that we experience in this lifetime.
Photography isn't a hobby for me; it is truly a passion rooted in the understanding that these moments in time are our legacy. They're what we leave behind for future generations, giving the essence of our journey from the very beginning of our lives to the last day.
People often ask me about my job and what I do, and it always sparks a range of reactions and conversations about why someone would choose this career path. For me, it's about capturing the full spectrum of life. From the pure joy to the rawest emotions, photography gives us a glimpse into our world that we can share with others or revisit whenever we need a reminder of what these moments mean to us. It's all about capturing life's essence, you know?
I once had someone say to me, you truly "captured my essence", I was 20 years old, had zero clue what that meant at the time. I was just glad the picture was "pretty + great." I had zero clue what a compliment it truly was until 10 years later.
I am blessed to find myself drawn to photography – it's my way of giving back moments filled with authentic joy and love to those who cherish the goodness of life and understand the fleeting nature of these precious moments.
I may not have this career 10 years down the road, but lucky for me, I have knack for something that truly stands the test of time to share with family and friends. For me that makes this all the more better.

Fun Fact
Art is subjective, there isn't a right or wrong, but when I can't put into words what I feel, photography grabs the words for me.
While I will never get back the time of my kids being little, I have a million and one photos for us to enjoy "someday."
I don't hang many pictures in my house, but I do love making photo albums!
