The power behind the picture

  • Mariam Zaki Photography based in Central PA, Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg

    From a young age, I have been drawn to the art of photography. I am captivated by the way that images can capture a moment in time and evoke powerful emotions. Photography gives me a way to hold onto my mother’s memory and to feel connected to her even though she is gone. Her passing left a gaping hole in my heart, and I found solace in the memories that were captured in family photographs. With every photograph I take, I pour my heart and soul into capturing the essence of the moment and preserving it for a lifetime.

    My work is characterized by its emotional depth and its ability to tell a story. I have a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing the essence of a moment, whether it’s the joy of a bride on her wedding day or the wonder of a child exploring the world. For me, every photograph is an opportunity to create something beautiful and meaningful that will touch people’s lives in a profound way.

    Things I Love Most About My Job

    • Getting to do what I love and what I’m passionate about.
    • Seeing my photos on walls of my clients homes
    • Knowing that my artwork will be seen for generations
    • Creating art that will make someone feel joy and love every time they look at it
    • Capturing the fleeting milestones of someone’s life
    • Feeling like a child when photographing small kids
    • Meeting new people at a very special and time of their lives

    Service Areas: Central PA and Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Lemoyne, Etters, New Cumberland, Boiling Springs, Carlisle, Dillsburg, Hershey, East Pennsboro and Enola

    Awards & Publications

    I’m honored that my work has been recognized both locally and internationally. In 2024, I was voted one of the Top 5 Best Photographers in Harrisburg Magazine The Best and won First Place in Photography for Creativity at the MK Competition for 2025 which covered photographers from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington D.C. .

    Over the years, many of my images have been published in magazines across different states and countries, and some have even graced magazine covers. These experiences inspire me to continue creating meaningful, high-quality photography for every client I work with.

What a lovely experience my family and I had with Mariam as our photographer. She is very family friendly/oriented. She is graceful with her requests of our poses and treated each of us like she knew us for a long time and I did appreciate the added compliments she gave us as we went through the shots. She is also great conversation and we do love that in our family. The experience was wonderful and on top of that, our family photos are everything I dreamt. Here’s a few of our favorites. Thank you so much Mariam, you are especially talented. Services Family and group, Maternity and newborn, Children's photography
