Life's Moments Matter


Hey there! I’m Marie — a mom, veteran spouse, and the heart behind Clicks and Photos by MJ.

I photograph families, weddings, and grads, turning real-life moments into beautiful photos that last. When you have special occasions you don’t want to fade, just reach out, smile, and trust me to capture them!

I specialize in creating timeless, vibrant images in natural, outdoor settings. I love utilizing natural light and scenic backdrops to make your photos feel relaxed and genuine.

I'm honored to have been voted 3rd Place for Best Photographer in the 2026 Best of Bulverde Spring Branch! This community-voted recognition means so much to me.


Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, gathering the family for annual photos, or simply documenting this season of life, I’m here to make your experience easy and enjoyable. I’ll guide you with prompts and direction, so you’ll never feel unsure in front of the camera. Just show up, enjoy your loved ones, and let me take care of the rest!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to chat about a session. I can’t wait to connect!
