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 has always been to bring back true artistry and luxury to women's photography in a very unique and captivating way.
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.

Services
You can initially contact me by email or a phone call, but I would really love to meet you in person to make sure everything is crystal clear to you, prior to the photo session. We can have a pleasant meeting and discuss what you are interested in receiving and review examples of the products I offer.
The classic headshot photo. It's something that can be used in a number of unique ways both professionally or personally - and also in both the online and offline world. If you're looking for that perfect headshot photograph that truly captures you at your very best, then you've landed in the right spot.
There's nothing like family. And there's also nothing more special than a great family portrait that accurately captures and reflects the true personalities and "quirks" of your own family. When you gather your family for a family portrait with me, everyone will be able to leave their hectic schedules and frantic pace of life behind for one special moment and gather as one for an amazing photo shoot that'll never be forgotten.
Being a teenager is one of the most exciting times in one's life. It's a time of growth, new experiences, friendships that will be remembered forever, and even first dates and kisses. During the teenage years, it's also a critical time when self-esteem may be challenged. That's why taking a step back to reflect and find that little princess in yourself or even your teenage daughter again can be a transformative time.
Bringing a brand-new life into the world is something that's truly magical and totally life-changing. It's the very beginning of a very special and exciting journey, so why not capture the moment in its most elegant and maternal state? When you work with me, we'll make sure that you're represented in beautiful color or transcendent black and white.

My husband and I are ecstatic that we hired Maria Manjelo of Maria Manjelo Photography for such a special moment in our lives--the birth of our first child! She took photos of my husband and I when I was about 7 months pregnant, and a couple of months later of our newborn baby. :) Maria is professional, nice, creative and an excellent photographer. I was very happy with my hair and make-up that was done by Ainur as well. I would highly recommend Maria Manjelo Photography and I look forward to hiring her again in the future!

Positive: Professionalism
Maria is great and she does a very good job on making you feel comfortable. She kept conversation going during the session, made sure it didn’t get awkward which I liked a lot, she’s simply the best. The pictures she took came out beautiful.. couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. Very professional. 10/10 recommend.

We had a really good experience with Maria. She was able to accommodate me for a maternity shoot at a very short notice. She took the time to understand my stylistic preferences and made me feel very comfortable during the shoot. She had a lot of patience and was able to capture some truly memorable shots with my toddler who barely sat still! The final product was net and impeccable and was a true representation of us all together, without looking too made up. We will certainly cherish these photos for years to come!

I had the most amazing experience with Maria. My hair and makeup were done professionally on-site, and Maria took headshot photos for my business as well as glamorous photos of me that made me feel beautiful. The quality of the photos themselves are amazing and perfect for my website, business cards, and for me to have as momentos of this time in my life. Maria made the entire process easy, fun and relaxing. I felt awkward at first posing for photos but Maria helped me relax and enjoy the entire process. Everything from booking the shoot, the photoshoot itself, and communicating and receiving the

Awesome Place! Anyone looking to have some photos taken I would highly recommend! Maria is so kind and friendly It made me feel so comfortable being there and in front of the camera. The photos came out absolutely beautiful, I went in for headshots and some full body portraits and they were all so pretty. She did an amazing job! Her makeup artist did an incredible job as well to getting me camera ready. I will definitely be coming back and will have these photos for a very long time. Thanks Maria!
