“Mary is such a delight to work with! She puts you immediately at ease and brings out your best self during a photoshoot. Her editing style is gorgeous. Hands down, she's the best brand photographer in the Richmond area!”

“Mary was extremely knowledgeable about the commercial side of the shoot I needed to produce. She understood what needed to happen and got to work right away preparing for a productive and perfect shoot — creating a plan, schedule, and mood boards. Throughout the long shoot day, she was always positive and respectful of everyone involved, making every hour feel like the first. Mary’s a true professional and a perfectionist in the best way. She went above and beyond to elevate my brand and capture my products beautifully.”

“You don’t hire Mary if you just want a new headshot — you hire Mary if you want to completely up-level your branding, your business, and the way you feel about your business. 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.”

“Once I posted Mary's pictures, my whole brand shifted. People said my new photos spoke to them. Her photos were a true reflection of who I was and where I was going, and I felt confident that my brand looked the way I wanted it to look.”

“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.”

“With Mary, photos are the one thing I don't have to stress or worry about. Her preparation and preparedness are incredible — she’s like a concierge who walks you through every aspect of the shoot day to make sure it will go flawlessly. She even took it upon herself to meet with my web developer so everything would be cohesive for me. She’s lifted a weight off my shoulders and freed me up to work on other areas of my business.”

“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.”
