Meet Maureen
My love affair with photography began way back when I was just a little girl, handed my very first point-and-shoot camera. Ever since then, I've been the one in my friend circle who's always got a camera handy, capturing every moment that unfolds.
As a mom to two wonderful sons, I've learned firsthand how fleeting life can be. That's why I believe in the power of photography to immortalize those precious moments.
My family and I are avid travelers, splitting our time between the serene landscapes of North Carolina's Piedmont and Coastal regions and the picturesque Lake's Region of Maine. Nature is where I find my solace, and I take immense joy in sharing its beauty through my lens, whether it's landscapes, wildlife, or portraits!

Maureen Bates Photography
My photography style is all about striking a balance between posed shots and candid captures — those authentic moments that reveal the true essence of your loved ones.
I’m here for portraits, headshots, weddings, graduations… all the important moments — and places — in your life!
I understand that photo sessions can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially with little ones in tow. That's why I make it a priority to understand your vision for the session and create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone involved. Whether it's encouraging the kids to let loose or simply blending into the background, I'll ensure that your experience is stress-free and fun.
