Hey,

I'm Mari.


the photographer behind hou haus photo

I’ve pretty much always been the one with a camera. Since I was a kid, I was the friend taking the pictures, documenting the birthdays, the random nights out, and all the little moments in between. My love for photography started long before I ever thought of turning it into a business. I still have the very first camera my parents bought me in fifth grade, which is probably one of the reasons photography feels so personal to me.


I’ve always loved the way a photograph can hold onto a moment long after it’s passed. That’s what keeps me behind the camera: capturing genuine connection, the little details, and people as they actually are.


My approach is relaxed and intentional. I don’t want you to feel like you have to know exactly what to do in front of the camera. I’m here to guide you when you need it, let things happen naturally when you don’t, and create images that feel like you.


I’m still finding and evolving my style as a photographer, and I honestly love that part of the process. I’m drawn to images that feel real, timeless, and personal, and I’m always looking for new ways to tell a story through my work.


When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually spending time with my family, finding something new to photograph, or taking way too many pictures of everyday life.


Thanks for being here. I’d love to create something with you.
