The questions everyone asks
What if I'm not tech-savvy at all?
That’s why we’re on Squarespace!♡ Everything's built to be manageable + you get complete training and 30 days of support (because I'm not just going to leave you hanging).
How involved do I need to be?
You make the big decisions and give feedback. I handle all the technical stuff.
Do you work with newer photographers?
Totally, as long as you're serious about professional presentation and get that it's a business investment.
Do you work with photographers outside the Philippines?
Yep! Most of my work happens online anyway. As long as you're good with video calls, location doesn't matter.
How much does website design cost for photographers?
Investment starts at $800 for brand identity, $1,800 for websites, $2,400 for the full package.⊹ ࣪

family photographer
Squarespace website + brand identity for a Gold Coast family photographer
My brand and website now feel perfectly aligned with my work—and I couldn’t be happier. Maria took my vision and pushed it further than I could’ve done alone.
– Bec Zacher, Family Photographer
Here's what I fix for photographers like you
Your photos are stunning. But if your website isn't converting, it's usually one of these things:
Your mobile site feels clunky (and that's where 80% of your traffic is)
01
Generic templates that don't showcase your unique style
02
Contact forms that are hard to find
03
No clear journey from "I love this work" to "let's book"
04
Copy that could belong to anyone
05
Sounds familiar?
I’m Maria —
the hooman behind Tides Studio.
After 5 years building websites for major brands (think Anomaly Haircare by Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Mix:Bar New York — stuff you've probably seen in Vogue and Forbes), I decided to focus on photographers who capture life's most meaningful moments.
Why photographers? Honestly, I believe your work documents the stuff that actually matters. Plus, I totally dreamed of being a photographer when I was little ♡
Uh-huh. I've worked with brands you may have seen in Forbes, Target, The New York Times and more.⊹ ࣪ ˖
Not sure what makes sense for where you're at?
Just tell me what's bugging you about your current situation and we'll figure it out together.
