We all have a story to tell
Studio Maria Mayer Feng is a luxury design studio dedicated to helping people preserve their most meaningful memories in exquisite, custom-made books. Everyone has a story worth sharing, and in a world where treasured moments are often stored on phones, hard drives, or forgotten cloud folders, the studio’s mission is to transform life’s milestones—and even everyday moments—into tangible works of art.
Based in Ridgefield, CT, and New York City, Maria works with clients around the globe to preserve love, life, and legacy—one stunning book at a time.
As Maria always says, “Life is how we remember it.”

Maria is a storyteller at heart, devoted to transforming cherished memories into heirloom-quality books. With a background in social work, documentary photography, and a Master’s from NYU, her work is fueled by a lifelong passion for capturing the unique journeys of her clients.
Her own journey spans several countries—having lived in Romania, Germany, and Switzerland before settling in the United States—which deepened her appreciation for the many ways stories are told and remembered.
Together with her small team, Maria creates bespoke photo books that go far beyond traditional albums—pairing images, text, letters, and personal mementos to tell each story as a beautiful work of art. For nearly two decades, she has designed luxurious, museum-quality books for clients worldwide, turning photo chaos into meaningful keepsakes that bring memories vividly back to life.
