Portrait sessions
Editorial portraits for artists, creatives, couples, and people ready for images that feel unmistakably their own.
Photography
with feeling.
Portraits, artists, and live rooms — photographed for the way the moment felt, not just how it looked.

The approach
I photograph the energy before it disappears.
Atmosphere over polish. Movement over posing. Every session is built around images with texture, intention, and a point of view.
Selected work
The frames.
Live music, shot the way it felt in the room.
Ways to work together
Built around the story.
Artists + live music
Concert coverage, press portraits, rehearsal documentation, and visual storytelling made for release cycles and real fans.
Documentary
Photo essays and observational coverage for projects that need more depth than a standard content shoot.
Behind the camera
I’m Zoey Maya.
A photographer and creative director working between Kentucky and Cincinnati. I’m drawn to atmosphere, honest expression, and the split second that changes an image from polished to alive.
Whether we’re in a quiet studio or pressed against the stage, the goal is the same: make work that still carries the moment after it’s over.
