Maria turns twenty this spring. There are many ways to measure her coming of age. One of the best ways is to simply browse through her portfolio. Most of the series near the bottom represent her earliest work, before she had much time in front of the camera. This series was done last September, after Maria returned home from a month long vacation on Russia's Black Sea coast. With a rich, dark tan and big Maria smile, you can tell she feels invigorated, confident, and completely free spirited.
