Maria Hanshaw Design — Portraits, Memories & Celebrations
Portraits · Memories · Celebrations
Design that feels like it belongs to your story.
I create personal pieces for life's meaningful moments — the invitations, images and keepsakes that become part of how a day or a person is remembered.
Every project begins with what matters to you. From a wedding suite or family portrait to a lovingly restored photograph, the result is considered, collaborative and made to feel unmistakably yours.

A note from Maria
Small details can carry so much meaning.
I have spent more than twenty years working across design, imagery and the digital world. What I love most is taking the pieces someone brings me — a photograph, an idea, a colour, a memory — and turning them into something beautifully resolved.
You do not need to arrive with every detail worked out. I will help you find the direction, explain the choices and make the process feel calm from the first conversation.
Tell me what you have in mindHow it comes together
A gentle, collaborative creative process.
Tell me the story
Share the occasion, the photographs you have and the feeling you would love the finished piece to hold.
Shape the direction
I bring the details together into a thoughtful first concept, with room for your ideas and personal touches.
Refine with care
We gently refine the work until it feels just right, then prepare everything beautifully for print or digital use.
Your story, thoughtfully made
Have something meaningful in mind?
Tell me a little about the occasion, the images you have, or the piece you would love to create. It is perfectly fine if it is only the beginning of an idea.
