Celebrate the magic of authenticity
You live for the timeless
the extraordinary
the impromptu karaoke
the dancing on tables…
or in my case the climbing on bars at classy restaurants*
scaling trees (as carefully as one can with that #Vexpensive gear chillin’ on my neck)
Anything and everything to proudly get the shot that symbolizes best what the people in front of me are all about
because it is worth it beyond words to capture a moment that perfectly encapsulates what makes you so indescribably significant, unique, and meaningful to this world.
*Don’t worry, the owner helped me climb on the bar :)
Hey it’s me, Mary! I’m currently based in Western NY (Rochester to be specific)
…but I’ll go anywhere they’ll let me!
Real talk - are you worried that your photographer could be difficult to connect with, and doesn’t truly care about who you are?
I have seen photographers who half-heartedly photograph their clients, and it breaks my heart. When a photographer doesn’t care, you may get uncomfortable and it can show in the result.
In order to tell your remarkable story, and before you essentially “swipe right” on me, I want to get to know the remarkable you! The biggest part of my philosophy is to truly understand what you’re all about. I take my time in understanding your story, your vibe, what your values are, and help you get used to being in front of the camera if you are a little nervous about being photographed.
I include not only a consultation, but a hang out sesh so we can chill, have no pressure and just get to know each other! We can go mini golfing, the arcade, grab some drinks, heck, go to Six Flags or a sip and paint class!

“Our project with Mary was yesterday, and I am having trouble finding the right words to do her business the justice it deserves! She goes above and beyond what she quotes and delivers beautiful art (not just pictures) instantly. My project was unique, and I was a little worried that it would be difficult for someone to manage. Mary didn't even blink an eye. She is delightful to work with, professional, punctual and has the photographs to back my "review" up. I highly recommend Mary as an artist. (Even my models are planning to use her for future projects now!) I will certainly be hiring her again. Thank you, Mary, for such a FUN day in Sausalito and for beautiful pictures for my new business!”

“So fun and inspirational to work with. Mary has a creative eye and made our lifestyle photo shoot through the city a treat. Great photos!”

“Mary was amazing! Extremely professional yet very fun! She arrived on time, took countless awesome photos, and was done editing in under 48 hours (unheard of!). I should mention that we gave Mary a very tough gig: shooting a party bus for 5 hours straight, complete with constant motion, drunk people, and dim lighting. Despite these challenges, Mary powered through and delivered awesome results. We will no doubt hire Mary again in the future.”

“Honestly I was a little hesitant when I found a photographer online but Mary was amazing! She was so friendly and she made me feel so comfortable with her. The pictures turned out amazing I love her work! Definitely recommend her!!”

“Mary was such a fantastic photographer - I would 100% use her again and have already recommended her to other friends! I asked Mary to help photograph my daughter's 3rd birthday party. She was extremely communicative, professional, flexible on timing, and had very quick turnaround on the pictures (within a week). On the pics themselves, they are EXCEPTIONAL - she did such a fantastic job with lighting and capturing the spontaneous moments of 3 year olds. I feel very lucky to have found Mary and will definitely be using her again.”

Mary was absolutely fantastic. We set her loose in a big party we had in our home and she sent us over 200 beautiful, unique, and creative photos. She edited them perfectly and got them back to us in 1 day. She had no trouble finding special moments in candids and had the confidence to move people around for the right composition. We will certainly be having her back to our next event.
