Unique Image Photography bio picture

  • Maria Martins

    I'm a traveler, portraitist, and a lover of nature and all its mysteries. For 30 years I have helped create magical moments for families through fine art portraiture. I look forward to continuing my work by helping you capture your next timeless portrait!

Be a child again. There’s mud splashed up your legs with blades of grass sticking wet and tickly to your toes. You’re filthy and happy and you don’t care. Everything is too interesting and worth another look, and now that school is out you have time to explore it all.

Sundresses that catch the wind like sails, shorts cut just above knobbly knees, eyes twinkling with tears from squinting up at the summer sky; you’re free to roam until dark and even then the fireflies invite you back out for just one more look.

There’s nothing better than being a child in the country during summer. Long days spent picking wild onions, catching fat green frogs, sipping from a honeysuckle flower, or just daydreaming amidst the trees. It’s all so magical and it seems like there’s never enough time.

For a day, let time stand still and just play again. At Unique Image we value the imagination of children and see playing and exploring  our outdoor studio as an incredible opportunity to capture honestly expressive art on camera.

Gardens, ponds, tall grassy fields, climbing trees, and so many animals and bugs–we have everything here for wondering minds that are open to the adventure and mystery found within nature.

Hope to see you soon!

It’s been a short spring this year, and summer is only a few weeks away. The heat is coming on and the beaches are opening up, and most importantly the kids are getting out of school. Now is the perfect time to schedule your fun family portrait session on the beach.

Make a day of it! Need an excuse to head down to the beach? Of course you don’t. However, having an on-location beach session not only adds to the fun of a beach day, but it’s also an activity that can bring your family closer together.

Extended family, immediate family, just the kids, with the pets, in-laws, we will do it all.

To schedule a session, please call our studio at (856)478-6990.

Enjoy the warm weather!

When you imagine a photography studio, your mind probably goes to the typical indoor photography studio everyone is used to: a big open room, rolls of backdrops, props everywhere, looming light stands, and other pieces of unidentifiable technology.

This is all perfectly fine. In fact, we have all of that. What you may not imagine is that you can go to studios that offer more.

Half of who we are as a full Portrait Studio is indoor and we’re proud of that. But the other half is a sprawling garden studio scene with endless options for your portraits. Depending on which flowers are in bloom, where the sun is in the sky, or what farm animals are feeling extra photogenic, you can have the most distinct and unique portraits possbile. Not to mention the singular experience that is our ever-changing and growing farm.

It’s such a satisfying feeling knowing that you’ve made the best investment for you and your family. Our Family Portraits are guaranteed for life, and having them taken in our one-of-a-kind outdoor portrait studio by a Master Photographer with 25+ years worth of experience will guarantee that satisfaction.

We hope to see you this summer in the garden!

Make your young athlete feel like a pro with quality portraits that showcase the sport they love. They’ll gain so much confidence with your support and encouragement, making their game even better.

These classic portraits also make great gifts for dad, especially with Father’s Day around the corner. They compliment the manliest of man-caves, and he’s sure to hang them up with pride.

Give your All-Star the gift of these memorable portraits. You never know, they may even mark the beginnings of greatness. Keep encouraging them to do what they love! Success comes to those who persist in the direction of their dreams.

Keep dreaming, friends.
