Hey, I am taya maars
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!
"MAARS Photo gives Toronto families a guided maternity photography experience — and it shows."
— Women's Insider, September 2026
"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."

I don't provide the original RAW photos because I edit all of them to make sure they look their best.
Can you change editing after receiving photos?
I have a specific photography style. Please look at my portfolio to make sure you like it. And if you have any references, send them to me before the shoot. I can't promise the exact same results, but I'll keep your ideas in mind when I take your photos.
