Hi, I’m Maryam. the photographer, cheerleader, and occasional chaos coordinator behind Hi & Hello Studio.
Hi & Hello Studio is a space for all the wonderfully weird families in the Bay Area. A portrait studio where we get to create and capture all our shared madness. It’s a bright Emeryville space built for big personalities, quiet moments, and everything in between.

For years, I’ve been documenting families all over the Bay Area, chasing natural light, silly moments, and colorful connections. You might know me from my other business, Hi & Hello Photography — that’s where you’ll find colorful, filmy, in-home sessions and outdoor adventures.
The studio is a little different. Here, we get to play. It’s a space where we can get a little messy, a little weird, and a lot creative, all without worrying about weather, clutter, or distractions.

A studio where we can create.
A studio where we can play.
A studio where we can dance.
A studio where we can be silly.
A studio where we can be us.
I wanted a place that felt like a blank canvas, where families could come as they are and we could make something totally unique together. A place where kids can jump around, bring their emotional support stuffed animal, wear socks that don’t match, and still walk away with photos that feel like them.



Meet me in the studio.
Hi
