BEHIND THE CAMERA LENS

Welcome Friend, my name is Merve

I’m a newborn and family photographer by day, and a full-time mom and aviation lover by night. My days are a mix of calming sweet newborns, capturing real moments, and keeping up with our fun 3-year-old, Nil. After nearly a decade traveling the world, I created a cozy studio where families can slow down and be photographed just as they are. Blue has always been my color, which is why Mavi Photography feels calm, warm, and meaningful—just like the memories I love to capture.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Christmas Mini Session with Merve was truly magical. My son, Alparslan, is usually shy in front of the camera, but Merve made him feel so comfortable that he was smiling and playing within minutes. The studio was beautifully set up, cozy, and full of holiday spirit. She captured the most precious, natural moments—photos that I will treasure for years. The whole experience was relaxed, joyful, and incredibly professional. I’m so grateful for these memories and can’t wait to book our next session.
