Hi + Hello Photography

Being photographed by Maryam was the best experience. She showed up right when she said she would and kept in touch, making her easily reachable. She was so easy to connect with, making the shoot simply wonderful. She captured our little family perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with the way the photos turned out. She is amazing. We would happily use
hi+hellophotograpghy again in the future.

We’ve had three shoots with Maryam, and every time we end up with a phenomenal set of prints. Her sense of framing and light is very nuanced, which brings a level of skill one rarely finds in child & family photography. She does great posed shots, but she’s especially gifted at catching candid moments. We highly recommend booking Maryam if you’re looking for a photographer to do your next shoot :-)

Maryam is the best! She is the most personable and talented photographer that we’ve ever worked with. She’s done three family sessions for us so far and I’ll be calling her to do every one we have in the future!
The photos that Maryam has taken are truly magnificient and the prints are like those you’d find in a museum or art gallery. She listens to your vision and takes it to a whole new level!
Cannot say enough amazing things about her and Hi + Hello Photography!

Since meeting Maryam in 2008, I have used Hi + Hello and her amazing talent to photography my family. Not only does Maryam have such amazing talent, but she is so creative and patient. My kids are easily distracted and not willing to just sit. Maryam has come up with such great places and way to keep them engaged and having fun! We have taken photos in a parking lot playing with holi powder, eaten donuts at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, had ice cream at Melt in Fort Worth, and had intimate family photos taken at our home. Maryam has become not only my favorite photographer, but a good friend as well!

Shooting with Maryam was such a pleasure. She is is friendly and relaxed, which in turn helped me to relax and take better photos. My kids not only don’t like to pose or smile on command, they turn away from the camera if they catch someone shooting them, obviously I was nervous and wondered how Maryam was going to get any good shots of us.
We met on the beach in the late afternoon. She followed us at a slight distance, allowing my kids to run and play while she shot. Slowly she came in closer, chatting with them and skillfully positioning them through gentle suggestion. In the end, the shots she captured show expressions of wonder, joy, surprise, and so many other wonderful emotions on their faces. The photos are a perfect balance of candid and posed – I treasure them!

I discovered Hi + Hello Photography when I saw some amazing lifestyle photos that a friend had posted of her family on Facebook. They were gorgeous shots, using natural light and capturing the joy and love that this family shares. I checked out the Hi + Hello Facebook page and website, and absolutely loved the feel and presentation. I needed some new photos for my website, and Maryam was so awesome to accommodate my needs even though it’s not her normal gig. She spoke to me about what I was looking for, and then set everything up quickly and easily. At our session, Maryam helped me feel at ease and gave great directions, as I’m clueless for what looks best. Her turnaround time for sharing the edited photos with me was extremely quick, and the photos were fantastic. I’m looking forward to working with Maryam again, and will be recommending her to my friends and doula clients!

I’ve had three photo shoots with Hi and Hello. The first one was when my twins were turning one and we got some of my most favorite family portraits ever. I love that they are relaxed and natural and capture who we were then.
The next fall we had a mini session with the kids and the setting she chose as well as the colors in the photos are gorgeous. My kids were grumps that day and she still managed to get great shots
Our third shoot was just of my kids and again, the spirit of my children was truly captured! Maryam has a knack for choosing the right surroundings and for making everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend her, especially for children’s portraits!

Maryam with Hi + Hello Photography is quite talented. We have used her twice now for family portraits. She was patient and kind with my kids, and was able to capture their personalities so well. The photos we received from Maryam were beautiful. I loved the outdoor locations she suggested and the natural light gave them such an easy feel. I will definitely use her again!
