What parents are saying

"Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for both our baby and our family stood out even more than the beautiful photographs."

"Mary's calm, sweet spirit was perfect for bringing out the best in my kiddos.  My husband, who is usually skeptical of family photos, was actually relaxed. You captured gorgeous images of my family... and you did it quickly and with ease."

"She stayed calm through a newborn who wouldn't sleep, uncooperative siblings, and our busy schedule—and somehow created amazing photographs anyway."

Mary is so talented. I loved watching her photograph my baby…newborn photography is truly a work of art. Not only is she the best newborn studio photographer, she has tons of props and outfits for you to choose from. Beautiful studio! You really can’t go wrong! Don’t hesitate to book her!

We couldn’t be more in love with the photos Mary captured of our family and baby girl. Mary was amazing to work with… very friendly and professional. She is truly talented and went above and beyond our highest expectations. We will definitely be using her for all of our future family photos!

This photographer truly captures the moment so beautifully! I can say that my family couldn’t be more satisfied with my daughters newborn studio photoshoot. Mary is very nice, super accommodating, and sets such a beautiful scene for the work that she does. The entire experience was so lovely and the photos were beautiful and amazing quality!

Mary is amazing to work with and so talented! We did our maternity pictures with her and they came out better than I could have hoped. I was nervous that the pictures would feel corny, but she made the process feel very natural and comfortable! She even helped us include our crazy pups. We can’t wait to do our newborn session with her when baby arrives and can’t recommend her enough.

Mary is truly the best. I thought we wouldn't get any shots with how little our 2 year old wanted to take pics that day and the wind on the beach was insane but Mary was able to salvage multiple beautiful shots with the editing on things I never imagined could be fixed. We are looking forward to working with her for many more photoshoots over the years!
