About maria
I'm a nature and pet photographer with a passion for capturing the healing essence of our natural world. Through my lens, I seek to share the peace, wonder, and restorative power that nature offers us every day.
What makes my photography unique isn't technical perfection or artistic pretense – it's the connection I make with each subject I photograph. As a self-taught photographer, I bring a different perspective to my work.
Hi! I'm maria
MICHELLE
"Maria's poignant photography speaks to her intelligence and her ability to see the whole picture just like she applied to her special education students."
SUSAN
"Maria's subjects preen for her. The mare bares her teeth and smiles, the deer frolic, the birds stoop low for a portrait. Even the ocean spray hovers in the air waiting to be captured
in Maria's lens."

"Maria's photo cards add a unique flourish to any handwritten message. I use a variety set of her cards to match the mood of my communications and couldn't be more delighted with the response I get from these photo cards!"

"I've been an admirer of Maria Zdroik's work for years... When I got my own office... people suggested I put up Maria's pictures. Maria was so easy to work with... helped with deciding on sizes... She really cares about print quality. I hope to continue getting new prints yearly... They're beautiful and people always comment on them."
