ABOUT ME

I started my coaching method with one goal in mind: to help women find acceptance and happiness in their own bodies and with their own selves. It took me MANY years, and lots of struggles to get where I am today, and even now I still struggle with this thicc ass body, but ultimately I love it everyday.

Maria Ruscitti has been a photographer since first being handed a camera at 16. It was a film Nikon f10 and she fell in love. During college Maria upgraded her camera and started photographing events as a job to help pay tuition. She liked it so much that she has kept doing it during her 18 year teaching career. Maria has photographed everything from Weddings, Seniors, Newborns, Couples, and Pets, but where her passion really lies is in Boudoir and Women’s Portraiture.

Maria has had various studios over the years, her photography company has shifted focus several times, but the type of photography that drives her forward to keep creating is Boudoir. Maria believes that ALL women-identifying humans should feel comfortable, loved, and gorgeous!

Below are some examples of her work over the years split into Weddings and Families and Boudoir.

I’ve been described as: aggressively friendly, wiley, ambitious, silly funny, creative, intense, dichotomous, and a real weirdo redhead!

I sometimes take silly photos. It’s important to not take yourself too seriously.

I’m an immigrant, a woman, a member of the LGBTQIA+ Community, a teacher, a mother, a partner, a witch, a bitch, and an intense friend. I bring all of this and more to all my clients! <3

I’d love to help you find yourself again!
