“Mary makes you so comfortable; it feels like everyday living when she comes into your home. She gives gentle guidance, and her work is beyond just beautiful — there’s a rawness to it, a sincerity. I haven’t seen anything else like it.

As a mom, this time is so delicate and it flies by so fast, so it’s really nice to know I’ve captured it in some way. I would do it a thousand times over just to make sure that I have these memories.”

“Mary's silly and vibrant and empowering. She’s able to manage multiple kids looking in all directions and somehow make magic. She's just got this inner calm that makes you so at ease even if she’s being wild to get the kids' attention. And you don’t leave frustrated — it’s an enjoyable process. Her work is truly stunning and so important.”

“If you're anything like me, you feel a bit overwhelmed at the idea of maternity photos. It can be such a personal, emotional time and I was hesitant to sign up for yet another moment to be the center of attention.

Mary immediately erased all of those anxieties and was such a calming, warm presence. She put me at ease from the get-go by chit-chatting and sharing her own vulnerable experience in early motherhood.

Not only did I receive a beautiful gallery of images, but I feel like I made a friend by the end of our session. If you're looking for artistic, graceful set of portraits by a wonderful human being - Mary's your gal.”

“I cannot recommend Mary enough! I reached out with a specific motherhood moment I wanted to capture with my son, and she was totally on board.

Mary collaborated with me on identifying the perfect location and talking through how we could best recreate the image I had in mind. She made both me and my boy feel comfortable and naturally ourselves during the shoot, capturing just what I had hoped; it was itself a sweet and easy experience.

And the images are gorgeous both digitally and in print. We are grateful for these keepsakes to forever remember this season of our life together!”

“You hire Mary if you care about the storytelling, the art behind your photos, and the thoughtful design of your shoot. She wants the best for you, and she produces the best for you.”

“I could write a novel about Mary. She’s just so lovely and talented. You realize the lovely part as soon as you meet her - she instantly makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. This is super helpful when you’re dealing with camera shy folks like my husband. You’re immediately comfortable around her and the images reflect that.

And then there’s my infant daughter. She swaddled her and placed her hand on her little chest. This sent her off to dream land, making Mary a magician in addition to photographer. In all seriousness, you can’t ask for a better person to capture your special moments. She has created art for us that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.”
