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!

Celebrate your family.

Having all the generations connect is a special opportunity. Take advantage of this time together and commemorate your Unique family with quality family portraits. Our family portraits encapsulate the spirit of your special family, while also allowing each unique member to express themselves individually.

It’s our privilege to witness three or four Generations walk into the studio for their portraits. How special is it to grow up with grandparents and even great-grandparents by your side, offering wisdom and jokes and stories of the past generations? We connect through these stories, and our shared experiences help us grow as both a family and as individuals.

So much of our identity is rooted in our families, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. But they are your family, with the wild quirks and idiosyncrasies that only you truly understand, and that’s a gift beyond measure. Let’s honor it and show the world how far you’ve made it together.

Spring is here!

Hyacinths and daffodils are blooming and the newest members of our farm family are on their way. Bunnies big and small, playful baby goats, little yellow chicks–at Unique Image Photography we have all the fixings for your perfect spring portraits. And sitting for portraits is so much more fun with bunnies and chicks in your lap!

The experience of our studio farm is what truly makes us Unique. There is no other portrait studio in the area set on beautifully maintained working farmland. This not only gives you and your family special portraits unlike any others but it also gives you a memorable authentic farm experience that you will never forget.

Every animal has its own personality. From Sprout the miniature horse, galloping proudly through the field, to Twister the orange and white cat, laying serenely on the sunny porch. Every family has their issues of course, but for the most part everyone lives in harmony on our little farm. We welcome you to enjoy our new family this year and become a part of the magic here at the farm.

Sit among the flowers, both wild and tamed, in the gardens at Unique Image Photography in historic Mullica Hill, NJ.

One of the most appropriate ways to compliment the event of Holy Communion is with the sacred design of nature as part of your timeless portraits. As well as being a Master Photographer, Maria Martins is also a Master Gardener, and takes great care to make her gardens a work of art each spring. Being a steward of this land for so many years has created a strong relationship with all that lives and grows at Unique Image studios, guaranteeing a keen eye for detail and placement when you choose to have your outdoor session.

The secret language of flowers is not lost to us at Unique Image. Understanding the subtle messages in the colors, shapes, and movement of the plants is a part of the life here, and always has been since the beginning of this farm 125 year ago. With each visit to Unique Image, you become a part of the magic here, and participate in its old traditions just by walking upon the land and admiring nature’s beautiful offerings.

We hope to share the gifts this land has to give, whether it be pretty flowers or fresh veggies. Come be a part of the living, breathing, ever-changing art that is Unique Image Photography.

Spring is upon us and Holy Communion is near, it’s a time for delicate white dresses and flowers in our hair.

We at Unique Image Photography love the spring. Our gardens will be in bloom, all the birds and butterflies come back, and we get to spend more time playing outside with our barnyard friends. It’s pure magic here!

Come be a part of the joy and fantasy that is Springtime at Unique Image for your Holy Communion portaits. You can also Pin Our Portraits on Pinterest in anticipation of the snow melt!

You’ve also put so much effort into making your office a stunning reflection of the hard work you accomplish there, let’s show it off!
