I just wanted to say how absolutely incredible Mary and her team are. I am a sucker for family photos- I probably get them done 5-6 times per year as I often update my home walls. I was nervous to make a switch after we relocated as I used the same family photographer for many years but multiple times a month I found myself searching her social pages because I was in love with her work. My toddler is an absolute handful but also a sweetheart- my ten year old is perfectly behaved but my husband is a bit of a “hurry up let’s get this done” type of guy lol Mary accepted all of our personalities and embraced us with nothing but love! We are so excited to have a new family photographer with such amazing talent xoxoxo More...

The one and only thing keeping me from hitting “do not recommend” is the fact that when I expressed how disappointed I was with our session, she offered a reshoot and I appreciate that. Bad reviews really hurt a small business and I’m not trying to do that but want to express my opinions. I’ll start by saying that Mary and Melissa have incredible energy and are amazing to work with on set, although we did feel rushed. They did our family photos last year, but to be honest, I wasn’t impressed with the gallery. The whimsical editing style she portrays just wasn’t there in our gallery, quite a few images were out of focus and there was very little diversity in posing. They offered us a reshoot, and we did a beach mini session with them. The editing style for the mini sessions was more what I had expected in the first session and was pleased overall with them but absolutely don’t feel that was money well spent, even between both sessions. One photo (out of 10) from the reshoot, I was blinking in, and another was blurry. Which in my opinion, shouldn’t be happening when you charge as much as she does. I expect near perfection (crisp images, face swaps if necessary etc) when one session is almost a months rent for a single family home (over $1,000) She has an incredible eye and such artistic talent with her editing and I hope she gets back to perfecting her work instead of settling for a decent image to edit and deliver.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mary and her team. They made sure my day was absolutely perfect in every way. From making sure I stay hydrated, to running around to make sure I had everything I needed, to making me feel calm when I was freaking out. They didn’t just take pictures, they did so much more than that. I am forever grateful and can not wait to see the pictures. I know they will be absolutely breathtaking. More...

I love Mary ( and Melissa ) . Her work is incredible and it is just as enjoyable to spend time with her when she’s taking the pictures as it is when you get the email to view your gallery. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is worth every single penny and more. More...

We had a session last week for our 2 month old son. We wanted to get newborn pics but our baby had jaundice and we waited until he was healthy. We were worried he wouldn’t be easy to photograph since he is super alert now. We needn’t have worried. More...

I love love my maternity pictures!!! I knew right when I saw pebbles and polka dots that I wanted to book a shoot ASAP and I’m so happy I did because I truly believe my photos wouldn’t be as special to me if I didn’t! On our shoot Mary knows how to direct you with posing which I love and she knows what she’s looking to capture. Then lastly I love her editing skills because she makes your photos magical just like the moment ! ��� Thank you Mary to you and your assistant we had a lot of fun! More...

We had a newborn mini session yesterday. I was a little nervous at first bc the baby was wide awake when we arrived, Mary and her assistant did an amazing job with our kids and getting our little one back comfortable and back to sleep. My son keeps saying how fun it was going to her studio. She was a blast to work with and her set up/ props are so unique! Our pictures were edited surprisingly quick which was a plus bc I was so eager to see how they turned out. The only regret I have is not booking a full session. We will be going back to her for sure!

I have been waiting 4 years for the opportunity to have Mary do my maternity photos. The moment FINALLY came when I found out we were having our first baby and the only option for me was to hire Mary. I flew to Boston from Virginia, and spent my session exploring, laughing, and feeling like a rock star. The entire experience was easy and relaxing and both Mary and Teresa did everything to make me feel comfortable and also gorgeous. To top it all off my gallery is truly a dream come true. The images are creative, one of a kind, and absolutely stunning. I could not have asked for anything more special and unique to capture this pregnancy for me. Thank you so much Mary!! You truly are the best and I cannot wait for my newborn session More...

Seriously, have you ever felt so much love coming from photographs?! Mary is so amazing, she adores families and children and makes you feel so special, probably because she actually believes you are. You will leave your photo session in a happy daze and then just die when you see your photos. Her assistant, Theresa, is a doll! Together, they will have you and your children cracking up. Enjoy!

I have yet to see our photos but I can't say enough about Mary and her assistant. They were so quick, efficient and engaging with my children. I was so worried about my 18 month old who never sits still or smiles on demand. Those two worked as a team and got the job done. They took the time to fix our clothing and our hair in each shot so they were perfect. I'm so excited to see how the pictures came out. I highly recommend using Mary!!! I'd give her a 10 if I could.

Mary's work is amazing. A friend suggested her to me and after reviewing her albums online I fell in love with her beautiful photos. I am so glad we booked a newborn session with her. She captured our beautiful baby boy in such a special light as well as the joy his birth has brought to his brothers and my husband and I. Also, the whole experience was totally stress free. Bringing a 5 yr old and 2 yr old to a newborn session I was prepared for a disaster and potential meltdowns...her studio is so cozy and well run that this wasn't as issue at all. Our entire family of five left without a single tantrum. � Thank you, Mary, for our beautiful photos! ❤️ More...
