Hi, I’m Mariah!
A creative entrepreneur, photographer, and holistic purpose coach based in the sunny landscapes & coast of Ventura, County. My journey is guided by a passion for capturing beauty, learning, uncovering purpose, and helping others create meaningful lives and businesses.
As a professional photographer with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography and a Master of Arts in Creativity Studies, I specialize in bringing stories to life through vibrant images of food, hospitality, wellness, and all the moments that make life extraordinary. Photography has always been my first love and remains the foundation of my creative expression.
Beyond the lens, I’m a holistic purpose coach, empowering individuals and businesses to align with their authentic path. Using tools like journaling, chakra balancing, tarot, and creative strategies, I guide clients to uncover their purpose, reconnect with their vision, and embrace soulful growth. Whether you’re seeking clarity in life transitions or realignment in your business, I’m here to illuminate your journey.
In 2024, I also launched Soul & Savor Magazine, a lifestyle and wellness publication that celebrates soulful living. It’s a space where creativity, mindfulness, and inspiration come together to explore the harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Soul & Savor was awarded New Product Launch of the Year Award by SCORE Ventura in 2024.
Through photography, coaching, and storytelling, I’m dedicated to helping others see the beauty in their path, find their purpose, and create with soul. Let’s connect and bring your vision to life.
