You deserve someone who brings warmth, care, and a
whole lot of heart to your family’s story.
Hi, Love! I'm mary.
You’re living in the blur — feeding bottles, soothing cries, chasing little feet, chopping lunch, tucking in, and somehow wondering how this season goes by so fast.
I get it. I’ve walked this road too.
More than 13 years ago, I began photographing growing families. But what really roots me is being a mom — two girls, two basset hounds (one of them named Darla, and yes, she’s a certified therapy dog and always happy to melt your heart). I know how it feels to want time to both slow AND preserve every precious moment.
This studio is a place for you to exhale. I’d love to welcome you in.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose to spend time here:
You won’t have to chase every detail.
I’ll guide you through the wardrobe, lighting, flow—so you can just show up.
You’ll get softness, genuine emotions, and breathing room — moments made to feel natural, not forced.
You’ll walk away with images that honor who you are in this season —
messy hair, baby drool, snuggles, laughter, quiet, chaos — all of it.
Because this moment? It matters.
Every little cry, every tiny toe, every giggle when they don’t think you’re watching — they are all part of your story. My hope is that you look at your photos years from now and feel transported back. Not just to a beautiful image, but to how it felt: that warm hug, the smell of new baby skin, the sweetness.
