Maria is the visionary behind Ree Creative and Studio Ree, an expanding empire built on a deep passion for brand storytelling and visual excellence. As the founder and lead photographer, she brings over a decade of industry experience in design, branding and photography, blending strategy with creativity to help businesses bring their vision to life.

​

Her love for photography began early, capturing creative portraits of friends and family. By 17, Maria was already being approached to shoot by brands, unknowingly laying the foundations for what would become her career. After graduating with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication, studying Photography and Media, Maria spent years building brands and refining her creative direction skills. But it wasn’t until recently that she decided to bring her photography talents to the forefront, launching Studio Ree as a space designed exclusively for businesses to create, elevate and shine.
 

Studio Ree was born out of Maria’s desire to offer something more than a traditional hire space. With a luxury, minimalist aesthetic, the studio is a private, content-rich environment where brands are given the tools, team and guidance to produce visuals that genuinely stand out, from still imagery to short-form video.

 

With a strong eye for detail, storytelling and brand alignment, Maria is more than just a photographer, she’s a creative force behind the lens, offering direction, strategy and an experience that makes every shoot impactful and purposeful.
