" I am happy you are here!

Hi! I'm Mari!

I am the storyteller behind Maritess Rocha Photography here in Tokyo, Japan.

I photograph families, seniors, maternity, birth, and military life, focusing on the real, tiny, yet so precious moments that make your season unique. I am also a military spouse, and I am a mother of three silly, but beautiful and amazingly smart kids. We have been in Japan for the last six years and I absolutely adore this magical place.

If you love genuine smiles, quiet glances, and the tiny in-between moments, we’ll get along just fine.

I create these stories with adapting to the environent while providing sessions that are relaxed and lightly guided so you can just be with the people you love while I do the rest.

I do this because I know how quickly life moves, especially in the military community. We quickly learn how much it matters to have something you can look back on. My heart craves to give you photographs that help you pause, breathe, and remember the way your family looks at you in this exact chapter.

If this sounds like you, sweet friend, I’d love to see you in front of my lens.
