Empowering Goddess Photography
Goddess Empowerment
Onna is a phenomenal photographer. She specializes in photographing women, bringing out the inner goddess in her artful pictures. Seeing beauty in the mundane is her skill. Capturing the personality of those she shoots fills her with joy.
Music event photography
She specializes in photographing bands at music festivals. She brings her hoops and her camera equipment and takes over the night. Live shows present her with amazing opportunities for candid shots amidst sunny day sets and colorful stage lighting at night. Bands can pose for professional shoots when they are not sweaty, prior to shows for album covers. But the real art lies in the action shots while up on stage.
Maternity Photography
Maternal
Empowerment
Photographing women in pregnancy is especially rewarding for Onna. She takes fun photos outside and even underwater. Pregnant women are goddesses. But they don’t always know it. When women choose to be photographed in pregnancy, they are creating a legacy to pass down, to be enjoyed by their children and family over the years. What these women don’t always realize is how empowering the experience will be for themselves.

Hand beaded Originals by Onna Maya
These native-style earrings began as a passion of hers when she was a teenager. After a twenty-year break, she found her passion for beading return after helping a friend fix their jewelry.
She gave away all of her tools and beads many years ago and had to start anew rebuilding her collection. When this creative compulsion returned to her she had no choice but to answer the calling full force. She wonders why she gave it up in the first place. The feeling is like returning to a lost love and she is grateful.
