About
As a photographer, my greatest passion is capturing the truth of the moment. I love raw emotion and endless details. I love taking a beautiful moment and forever cementing it in living color, or painting it with the simplicity of black & white tones. I think it's pretty special that people allow me to capture their vulnerability, joy, love & life in images that seal a moment in time.
I have a background as a fine art photographer, so my work truly elicits an artists perspective. In addition, my editing style is clean and simple, making the best use of natural light, so your photos will last beautifully over time.

Mary is incredible. After my best friend had a bad experience with her wedding photography, I knew I wanted to hire someone who could capture the day without an issue. Mary jumped right in and captured incredible pictures of our special day, and posed us in a way that was totally natural and made for beautiful shots. I have heard nothing but compliments from our family and wedding guests about the quality of the photos and the moments that were captured. Thank you, Mary! We're forever grateful.

Words cannot fully capture the depth of honor and gratitude I feel for Mary.
When I reached out to her, I was looking for a photographer to document an experience I had planned in Sedona. My vision was to hike Cathedral Rock and capture a mix of candids and portrait/lifestyle shots.
From our very first interaction, Mary was exceptionally responsive and detail-oriented. To ensure she fully understood my vision, she suggested a phone call to discuss the details and logistics in depth. In the weeks leading up to my trip, she stayed in touch, offering thoughtful recommendations to help everything go smoothly. Her professionalism and attention to detail were truly exceptional.
As far as how my session went, I will let the photos speak for themselves!
Mary’s impeccable eye for composition and her artistic touch shine through every photo. Scrolling through my gallery filled me with pure joy and happiness—her unmatched talent for capturing and creating is truly extraordinary!
It was an honor working with Mary, and it is an experience that I completely and wholeheartedly recommend!!
Details: Solo portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.

Amy, it was an utter joy working with you on this fun adventure session in Sedona. The photos we captured together are some of my favorites of 2024!! I hope these photos serve you well, and you that you keep radiating that glow that comes from deep inside you.

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My photography training and career began in the days of the darkroom, and has evolved over time into a fully digital photo service. I am proud to have developed my craft and understanding of light well before the times where everyone has a camera in their pocket. I believe this background has given my work a leading edge during the digital revolution.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My photography career has encompassed a wide variety of creative projects from portraiture, events, weddings, elopements, newborn and maternity, lifestyle documentation, corporate events, product and food photography and more.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I recommend that you thoroughly check out a professional's website before you decide to hire them. Make sure you like their work and the look of their edited photographs. Do they look timeless, or will they be dated in time? Do you like their point of view? Each photographer has their own, so make sure you're in love with the perspectives and choice of lighting your photographer displays in their portfolio.
