Hi! My name is Maja Pawlety, and I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself and my photography business.
For as long as I remember I have always been drawn to photography and psychology. I have studied both in college, and I strongly believe that both degrees help me take better pictures and establish better connection with people I photograph, especially children.
I started my professional photography journey 18 years ago, and I absolutely fell in love with the process of film photography. When I finished the photography program, my husband and I started a wedding photography studio, and we used mostly medium format film cameras to achieve the best quality images. Back then we both took the images and processed them in the darkroom. Those are some of my best memories! The digital cameras back then couldn’t compete with our medium format cameras, and so we stuck to what we loved most until we decided to start a family. We had to take a break from working in the darkroom when our kids arrived as it wasn’t the healthiest and safest environment for children.
When my kids were born (more than 10 years ago!) I started using digital cameras to document their childhood. As the years went by and the quality of digital images improved, they became my main photography medium.
I love to take pictures using natural light outside. I rarely use artificial lighting and props, and I love to take pictures of children that show their true personality. So whether it’s a special occasion or you feel you want to “freeze” time with your growing family don’t hesitate to e-mail me/call me to ask questions about a possible photo session with me!
