Mary was the very best to work with. She was easy going and professional- she was brilliant in photographing our young (and sometimes emotional) kiddos. I would recommend her to anyone!

Mary is a unicorn! She is a gem of a person. But her work is truly magical! She just has an eye for amazing shots. Not only is she wonderful at what she does, but she can get my kids (and my husband!) to have a genuine smile. How is that possible? Thank you Mary for treating us so kindly and making even me feel beautiful.

We had such a great experience with Mary! Our whole experience from booking the session to getting the pictures went so smoothly. She was so fun and great at getting our 2 year old to pay attention during the shoot. And to top it all off our pictures are gorgeous! I would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a family photographer!

Mary is amazing! We are absolutely ecstatic with the family photos we received. Mary helped us with everything from coordinating outfits, to finding the perfect location, and getting comfortable in front of the camera. She was incredible kind and patient with our two year old, taking the extra time to let him get adjusted & keep him happy (which is a feat in itself!). Not only is Mary the most talented photographer, she is also hilarious and the sweetest human. We felt like we were hanging out with a great friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience and I will constantly recommend her! She’s just the best!

Common FAQs

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: I've had a camera in my hand since I was old enough to hold one, I always loved seeing the film from my disposable camera when my mom would get it developed for me. My life changed when I bought my first "real" camera in 2014 and began my journey to becoming a professional photographer. I've been shooting families professionally for over 7 years now! Wow, that's crazy to say out loud! Ha!

Q: what's your style?

A: I would describe my style as clean, timeless, and filled with love. My favorite part about photographing families is documenting the unique vibe and special bond of each one. No two families are the same, and I think that is so beautiful. Sessions with me are filled with games, laughs, and lots of love, customized to your family. 

Q: How will I receive my images?

A: Other than the day of your shoot, delivery day is my favorite! It's when all of our coordination and care pays off! Your images will be delivered within 3 weeks of your session via an online gallery with your images ready to download. These images will be ready to download, share with your family and friends, and become your new phone wallpaper instantly! It's as easy as that! 

Q: how do I know what to wear?

A: What you wear can drastically change the look of your photos. To receive images that are consistent with what you see on my website, I suggest neutrals, light earth tones, or pastels. I love dresses that have movement, texture, and that cinch on the waist for the women, and button downs, sweaters, or a textured t-shirt for men. When you book your session, you can request a wardrobe guide to help you every step of the way in deciding your outfits, and I am always here to help you choose, too!

Q: WhaT Payment Methods do you accept?

A: I accept all major credit cards. Other payment methods can be discussed if necessary! 

q: Okay, I'm in. how do I officially book?

A:  Yay! I cannot tell you how excited I am to work with you! It is such an honor for me to photograph this time of your life. If you know you want a session, you can find my schedule here, and reserve a date (I like to make it easy!), and then I will send you everything you need to get your session secured! Eep! I can't wait to meet each other in real life!
