Jody Aplin says:
Thanks Maria for the wonderful pictures of our new baby Cooper! We will treasure these pictures of Cooper forever! You made taking pictures of a 7 week old look easy. You were so flexible and open to suggestions of the type of pictures that I wanted and then took some very creative shots that turned out great! It was so convenient that you came to my house and I did not have to take my new baby to a studio. That allowed us to use some special things from his room in the pictures making them even more personal. I look forward to many more photo shoots as Cooper grows!

This weekend I had the chanceĀ to photograph 7 week old Copper Aplin, son of Micah, and Jody Wood Aplin. This is a example as well of a on-location photo shoot, this set was inside Cooper’s room, in the comfort of their own home. I can always bring my equipment with me, being able to transform any room into a photo studio.It was such a treat! Here are some of the images that captured some treasured moments! Congratulations again to the new parents Micah & Jody! I look forward to capturing more moments in your family’s life!

Wondering where the name “Beautiful Horizon” comes from? Maria Cueto Hargrove, was born and raised in Brazil ,in the city of “Belo Horizonte”(translates to Beautiful Horizon) by Argentinian parents Leon Eduardo Cueto,and Mirtha Elena Scilletta de Cueto .That was the home she knew for the first 10 years of her life, and either than the US, it will always be a home to her.
When she left Brazil she moved to Toronto,Canada; where she learned English.After two years, she had to move to Turin, Italy; where she learned Italian.After living for two years in Italy, the family moved to the U.S, in Nashville,TN; this is where Maria studied her four years of high school, graduating in 2003.Soon after graduation, moved to Birmingham,AL, where she began college at Jefferson State.After one year in Birmingham, she transferred to The University of Alabama, then transferring to Shelton State where she received her certificate in Cosmetology. Maria always knew she belonged in a creative career, and she always saw things differently than others, she always photographed differently from a young age, but it came naturally to her, until one day her friends saw her images of when she decided to do a small photo shoot with a friend just for fun, and they encouraged to continue taking photos, and that was the day Maria decided to pursue photography with all she had. Currently she continues to live in Tuscaloosa,Alabama. Throughout all of her life,she traveled to many other countries in Europe,and South America, she is also fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Travel broadens ones view of the world and people, which teaches you to appreciate the beauty in everything.
