Capturing Moments, Crafting Memories: Your Go-To Photographer
Capturing the beauty of women ... at all ages and all stages
Hello and welcome!
Hello and welcome!
My name is Maria Manjelo and I’m a professional glamour photographer who specializes in premium family, portrait, boudoir, maternity, and teen photography.
Here at Maria Manjelo Photography, my #1 priority and passion have always been to bring back true artistry and luxury to photography uniquely and captivatingly. For over 15 years I’ve been photographing women and families from all walks of life in the New Jersey area.
Now with my own studio and business, I’m taking photography to a new, elite level and making it a full-day experience that combines elements of a spa treatment (complete with hair and makeup), along with getting photographs of you or your family in ways that will bring out the most elegant and pristine beauty possible.
Unlike other photography businesses, I do full consultations and invite people into my business who truly value premium glamour photography, and also understand the true lifetime value of a great portrait. This could be in the form of a sensual, yet tasteful boudoir photo, to a one-of-a-kind maternity photo, to a youthful and vibrant teen photo, or even a multi-generational family photo.
When you work with me, you’ll get the opportunity to meet your beautiful self and have that moment captured forever in a stunning photograph or family heirloom that will last forever. We’ll match your most ideal style that you may envision for your photograph, or we can try new and exciting styles that you may have never even thought of before.
Bottomline: Here at Maria Manjelo Photography, you’ll be getting much more than just another photograph. You’ll get to enjoy an unforgettable experience, along with being photographed in the most artistic (yet fully natural) and expressive way possible. Think Vanity Fair magazine cover but with you or your family as the main central focus.

Hello! My name is Maria, and I am so delighted to see you here! I am an aspiring portrait photographer for women. I will take pictures of women from teen years to generational family portraits. My catchphrase is "Capturing the beauty of women, at all ages and all stages!" We will do photo shoots for you to remember the important times in your life. So if you are interested to receive a wonderful experience and leave satisfied with beautiful portraits. Please call for consultation and we can set up a free meeting with you and think about all the great ideas you may have.
Our team consists of me, and two other creative ladies. Each one of them is the greatest in their craft. Our hairdresser and makeup artist, Destiny is quite the worker! With plenty of experience under her belt, she does makeup and hairstyles specialized for our photo shoots, and the session that follows is unique for each and every single of our clients. My next angel is Ludmila. She is our editor and she helps me to straighten out and touches up the photos and makes them beautiful, and ready to print. It's rather important for us to have a consultation prior to the photo session. This is so we can talk about what exactly we are doing, so I can explain to Destiny so she can be prepared and it also helps me understand for what style or theme we are going for. These themes can vary from something natural and romantic, to glamorous and sexy.

I wanted to send a note of thanks to you for the maternity photo shoot that you did of my husband Steve and I. We have never had a professional shoot done before and your professionalism and ability to make the session both relaxing and fun was evident by all of the great photos we had to choose from for our album. The silhouette picture we had blown up came out so beautiful and is commented on by everyone who has seen the nursery. Steve loved getting the album for Father’s Day. The pictures really captured everything special about this exciting time in our lives and we know we will love looking back on it even more in the years to come! Thank you again for not only making that day so special but for your ability to document all that we were feeling on that day for each other and for this new little person coming into our lives. Sincerely, Erin O’Gara-Meier
