Welcome to Sage Photography — where timeless portraits meet heartfelt storytelling.
I’m Maria Villanueva, founder and photographer behind the brand. After years of dreaming and refining my craft, I officially launched Sage Photography in 2025 with a clear vision: to offer a professional, client-centered photography experience rooted in elegance and authenticity.
Serving families, couples, and individuals across Lake Tahoe, Reno, and Carson City, I focus on creating refined yet natural imagery that reflects genuine connection. From the first consultation to the final gallery delivery, I am committed to making every session seamless, comfortable, and meaningful.
Because your memories deserve to be preserved beautifully

  • Maria at Sage Photography is incredibly professional, patient, and talented. Our family session in the Carson City area was relaxed and enjoyable, and the final images were stunning. She captured authentic moments that we will cherish for years. Highly recommend!
