Come to me as your are, and I'll do the rest.
I want to meet you wherever you're at, and create timeless, artful, and emotional photos with your story.
THE EXPERIENCE
I'm so glad you're here!!
Based in Homer, Alaska. I've been a photographer for 13 years. Working with couples in love, expecting mamas, and families are what make my heart overflow — I am head over heels in love with what I do.
I believe your memories are worth investing in. It might not feel like it some days, but I promise you'll look back at this time in your life with nothing but love and longing. I want to make time stand still — before life carries on and sweeps us away from the good old days.
I love the Lord, my hilarious husband, and our two happy baby girls we are raising on a dirt road outside of town. Let's get to know each other, I'll go first.
Get to know me
I'm Mary.

When we got the finished product, my wife and I both cried.
Going through the actual process for the engagement shoot she had a great flow and made us feel comfortable and good looking. During the wedding Mary spent a lot of time as a fly on the wall, and when private shoots were done, she was very efficient and came up with a lot of fun scenes and different ideas for shots on the spot. She captured the feeling and emotion within those beautiful moments that you never want to forget. Now we get a little glimpse that we can hang on to forever.

Where do I even start?
Mary was absolutely amazing on our big day! She made sure to capture every single special moment and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Her professionalism was incredible, and she truly has an eye for detail. We even got our sneak peek photos within 48 hours — and they did not disappoint! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and a joy to work with, Mary is the one.

Hiring Mary was the best thing that we did.
Hiring Mary was the best thing that we did (aside from eloping in Homer). She made our day so special from the little touches to her warm and gentle approach. Would highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion. Thank you so much Mary!

We are moved by the moments Mary captured on our wedding day.
It is a blessing to see the photos in our house every day and feel the little thrill of remembrance at a glance. The photos are art and we cherish the memories they revive. Beautiful, thoughtful work done by a kindhearted professional who creates striking, atmospheric photos that ring with emotion and enthralling detail. We couldn't be more impressed or grateful! Thank you so much Mary

She's always professional but doesn't make us feel awkward.
Mary photographed both my engagement photos as well as my wedding and we could not have asked for a better fit! She's calm and approachable. My husband doesn't like being in front of the camera but she made us feel relaxed and like we were chillin with a friend. It definitely shows in the photos which is so important! She is now my photographer for everything pretty much. If she ever offers boudoir, i'm in.
