Welcome. Bienvenidos.

Hi! I’m Yosmaira “Maira (Myra)” Ochoa — photographer, storyteller, and the heart behind Maira Ochoa Photography. 🤍

I work alongside my husband Gabriel, our videographer at MindFlix Films, and together we’re a husband-and-wife photo + video team serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

My style is 80% candid, 20% traditional — guided when you need it, real always. I’ll help you feel comfortable, teach you simple posing tricks, and keep everything authentic so your photos feel like you.

Por cierto, ¡también hablamos español!

Our Story
&
Approach

From the very beginning, my husband has been my rock, and my parents are my greatest inspiration.

Those values shape how we show up for every client—with care and intention.

Whether we’re documenting a wedding, capturing meaningful family moments, or creating visuals for a growing brand, we take the time to truly get to know you. We listen, observe, and approach every session with curiosity and purpose—so no two stories ever feel the same.

Our process is calm, supportive, and authentic, allowing real moments to unfold naturally. Through photo and video, we create a unique story that reflects your connection, your energy, and what matters most to you.

If you’re looking for imagery that feels genuine, timeless, and true to you, we’d love to connect. ✨

Let’s create something meaningful together.

Proud moment!

We create a relaxed, supportive experience—whether you’re celebrating a milestone, gathering with loved ones, or telling the story of your brand.
