The buzz from my clients…

“After working with Maya on several unique projects, I can assuredly say she is one of the most dedicated, insightful, and creative marketing strategists I’ve been fortunate to work with. With thorough attention to detail, thoughtful and responsive communication, and a foot in both the media and art world, Maya offers her clients a broad array of experience, insight, and skill. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
– Grace Browning | Harpist
“Maya recently photographed our growing family in and around Central Park. We couldn’t be more pleased with our photos which are already on display throughout our home. She made us feel comfortable, confident and had our 18-month old son smiling and laughing. What differentiates Maya is her attention to detail and magnetic personality. We can’t wait to work with Maya again!”
– Stephanie Vetri
“Absolutely love Maya! We are so delighted with the photos she took of us. She’s an absolute joy to work with—truly lovely and professional throughout the entire process. We had so much fun during the shoot; her friendly demeanor put us at ease and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations; they turned out beautifully. What’s more, her turnaround time was impressively quick. We received the photos the very next day in less than 24 hours, which was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented, efficient, and personable photographer who can make a photo shoot both fun and rewarding. A truly five star experience from start to finish!”
– Rachel & Hawyee Loh
“We did a family photography session with Maya in Central Park for our family of 3. She is so talented and easy to work with and our toddler was mesmerized with her and her camera from the beginning. It was clear she loves what she does as a creative and also truly enjoys working with children, so we got some amazing shots of our toddler interacting with her and the camera. She captured genuine and beautiful moments for our family, and also suggested/coached us on some fun ideas and poses so our personalities all shined through. We did our shots around sunset time and when I saw the final photos my jaw dropped at how magical they were. She incorporated the natural lighting of golden hour and sunset so beautifully. Additionally Maya was very flexible with scheduling and worked with us closely on a time that worked for our somewhat rigid schedules.”
– Lisa Chen
“Maya is such a delight to work with! She has managed my website for three years now doing all the designing, back-end coding, updating, and aesthetic additions. She is very knowledgeable, professional, a positive problem solver, efficient, reliable, and so helpful to me. My website is important to my work as it is often the first impression and how clients find my shop. I get many compliments on the website and the work Maya is doing to maintain it. I rely on her every week for her important work supporting my business. She makes a fantastic addition to the team around me. I highly recommend her to you.”
– Deborah Jane | Botanica Village Apothecary
“Maya was incredible! She worked with my girls ages 13 and 4 and allowed for the shoot to be fun and easy! She had great suggestions but also listened to what we wanted. This was our first time doing a shoot in NYC and we will not be using anyone else. We also got back all of our photos so fast!!”
– Erin Bulcao
“Maya was absolutely amazing for our engagement session! She had such a sweet vibe and made us feel comfortable as we had never done a professional photo shoot. Loved her creativity with the environment capturing our beautiful parks. Absolutely would recommend working with Maya and will 1000% consider for other photo and digital projects!”
– Kait OMara & David Metler
“Maya is incredible. She was kind enough to agree to schedule us last minute for an engagement shoot at Bethesda Terrace/ Fountain in Central Park for the first week of October. She is so responsive and helpful, explaining what to expect, and brainstorming ideas for locations. All the back and forth was great and in person it was even better…. she made sure we were both at ease and honestly made it feel like my fiancé and I were the only two people in this busy area of the park. We have had other photoshoots in the past and know how important it is to feel comfortable and happy with your photographer, and with Maya, we were able to be ourselves and have fun and get a lot of candid shots as well. She was willing to work with our ideas and even suggested more poses/spots around the same area that we should try. She is so personable and willing to work with you – really shows how much she cares about making her clients happy. ALSO, she delivered the edited photos so quickly – we were stunned. On top of her speed, she actually managed to remove background people (and made it look like we really were the only people there… even though there were so many people walking around at the time). Maya is a hard worker, so gracious and accommodating, and immensely talented. Could not recommend Maya enough!“
– Eisha & Sumeet
“Maya was amazing! We did an engagement photoshoot with her, and she made us feel comfortable while also giving us direction! The photos came out great and even better than we expected. I would definitely recommend her for any photography needs.”
– Joseph Kim
“I had such a wonderful experience working with Maya Rose for my latest headshots. Not only is she incredibly talented and creative, she had me feel relaxed and comfortable every step of the way. Her sweet sensibility will calm your nerves and somehow make a nerve-wracking task, enjoyable! I can’t recommend Maya Rose more.”
– Ali Hoffmann | Actor
“I consider Maya an essential member of my team. She’s helped build my brand, WagWorthy Naturals, from conception through to a successful launch. Her passion, enthusiasm and creativity are integral to the brand’s identity and continual evolution. Maya is a joy to work with, always delivers, takes direction and feedback well, and helps breath dimensional life into my ideas. She always brings fresh creative problem solving ideas to the table. I consider myself fortunate to work with her!”
– Jane Bernard, Founder | WagWorthy Naturals
“Maya came into our project at the nick of time and she was my fastest hire yet (within 24 hrs!). Due to COVID-19, we had to pivot a global, world record climate crisis hackathon & conference into an entirely digital experience and we needed talented minds to help build the vision. From her first interview to the completion of the event, Maya was exceptionally detailed, needed little direction, and executed with ease. Maya was not only a team player who merged with our backend and core event team, but she brought new ideas and methods to the table fast. We built the backend within 7 days with a team of four women including myself. A tremendous and outstanding success. Maya performs under pressure and is an excellent addition to your project however ambitious. I give her my highest recommendation for her services, her approach, and perspective.”
– Sarah Sharif, Founder | Experimental Civics
“We had a lovely couples photo session with Maya in Central Park! She has such an eye for detail and provided great suggestions for locations and poses. We were so happy with how the pictures came out and will definitely keep Maya in mind for future photo sessions!”
– Amy Jia & Josh Florence
“Maya was a joy to work with! As an actor, there are so many options out there and it can be overwhelming when looking for a headshot photographer. Aside from being a professional she also was friendly and made me feel at ease. We took my photos outside, we talked about what I am looking for and she offered different options. She made suggestions and was open to try different places with different backgrounds. She was very communicative and helpful during the editing side as well. I will be using her services again in the future for sure!”
– Diego Andrés Tapia | Actor
“In the heart of Maya Rose’s imagination is the imagination of her heart. So gifted in graphic arts and design, Maya’s talent is an efflorescence of a lifetime of natural interpretations of her music, art, dance, and environmental consciousness. These qualities resonate harmoniously in her final productions of work. She created an extraordinary, yet simple, image for my business that has been heralded as wonderful and commendatory by all who have seen it. I am over-the-moon pleased and gratified.“
– Robert A. Hershey | Lawyer + Professor Emeritus
“We engaged Maya to build us a website from scratch for our annual Sag Harbor Song Festival. We told her we wanted to be able to use the site to publicize the festival, solicit donations and sell tickets. In addition, we wanted to be able to make minor changes ourselves. We looked to her for advice about what kind of site we should aim for given our requirements. She completely understood where we were coming from and the Squarespace site she recommended and built for us is just what we needed. Her views on phasing in the site’s features were incredibly helpful, as was her knowledge of extra functionality that Squarespace offers. She was a delight to work with – responsive, flexible and good-humored. We are looking forward to working with her to amend the site for next year’s festival. She is an incredibly important part of our team!”
– Dinah Nissen | Sag Harbor Song Festival
– Joshua Irvine | Kahawai Content

“Maya is a natural social marketer – it is in her character, she obviously does what she loves. Her passion and confidence are contagious and both transfer to her clients. I’ve been working in the social media marketing space for 10 years now. In 2014 I launched Cherry Pie Social, and Maya was on my original start-up team in Santa Fe, NM. I was always able to count on her to take an idea and run with it. It’s one thing to have brilliant ideas and another thing to see them actually implemented. You cannot teach someone enthusiasm and passion for life – it has to come naturally. She has an eye for beauty and detail, and is an absolute joy to work with. If you get a chance to work with her, you will see what I mean. She is a phenomenal partner!”
– Carole Baker | Cherry Pie Social

– Elizebeth Barnes | Mezzo-Soprano
“Maya was an actual god-send. I managed to fit a videographer for my show into my budget very last minute… she was able to swoop in with very little notice to film and edit my show for a phenomenal price. Something I never thought I’d be able to afford. The process was so fast and easy and she is so kind. I 1000% would work with her again.”
– Ashley Alexandra Seldon | Singer + Actress

She is additionally thoughtful and creative and at-the-ready should a client request guidance or direction.”
