Hey, I am taya maars

Let's get to know each other

Hi, I'm Taya, a maternity, family, and events photographer based in Toronto, Ontario. I love capturing the special moments that families cherish forever.  Whether it's capturing beauty of your pregnancy, excitements of your family, or a special event, I'm here to document your memories in a beautiful and authentic way.


Photography has always been my passion. After years of experience as a photography assistant and social media manager, I decided to take the leap and focus on my own photography business last year. I'm dedicated to creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for my clients, so you can just be yourselves and enjoy the moment.


Let's connect and start planning your next photoshoot!

"Clients arrive at a space where the wardrobe is already prepared, creative direction is part of the experience, and the session is designed to feel like a celebration rather than another task during pregnancy."
