Hey there, fabulous podcast listeners. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Maria Arellano, a Fine Art Photographer based in Houston, Texas, who’s been creating magic since 2015. Maria has this incredible gift for helping women see themselves as the stunning, powerful goddesses they are—no matter their size, shape, or story.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Why boudoir photography makes Maria’s heart sing (spoiler: it’s all about confidence and celebration!)

• How she creates a safe, empowering space for plus-size clients to shine

• The art (and hustle) of balancing two specialties like a total pro

• Maria’s genius strategies for building a loyal, raving community—from goddess-themed shoots to her unforgettable client prom nights 

Maria also dishes on why she doesn’t sell herself but chooses her clients—and trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Maria doesn’t just take photos; she crafts experiences. And get this—clients literally fly in from all over to work with her! Plus, she’s a mentor for other photographers, helping them find their own magic and build thriving businesses.

If you’ve ever doubted your beauty or wondered how to truly connect with your clients, this episode is your sign. Let’s go!
