the girl behind the lens

Hi Friends! I’m Mary!

Wedding, elopement, engagement and senior photographer. 

I believe in romanticizing life. When we start to notice the small moments that happen everyday, we start to believe that life is really full of magic. 

Will you let me capture the magic in your life? Big moments or small, i’d love to help you romanticize and remember it. I grew up here in the PNW, and I’ll truly always love the ocean, trees, mountains, and green valleys that are Oregon’s many landscapes. I absolutely love to travel, and would love to tag along and capture your memories. I studied studio art and Arabic language for my undergrad. Yes, such a weird combo but I got to learn about what interested me, and I'm so grateful for that! I graduated from University of Oregon in 2020. (Where are my pandemic grads at?) I’ve been passionate about photography since I got my first DSLR in 2010, and somehow that love is still going strong today. Can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!

I’m so excited to get to know you and learn what moments you treasure most!

"Mary is so wonderful to work with."

You ask her for something and she makes it happen. She's captured every stage of my life. Senior pictures, Graduation ceremony, engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity, and as my family grows more and more family shoots. All the photos are perfect! That's all that's up on my walls! She even let's us include our 4 legged family members. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed in the quality of photos she provides with such great services!

"Mary did an amazing job of photographing my fiancé and me after our engagement and on our wedding day. from start to finish." 

Our session with her were a blast, which was good since my husband had never had photos taken before. She captured the joy of both events, along with keeping it relaxing. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any event I need photographed in the future, and I recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful photos without the stress of photo shoots. She was delightful to work with.

"I really had a good time at this photo shooT"

I really had a good time at this photo shoot and at this stage in pregnancy it's been a little difficult to feel beautiful but this made me feel like a goddess & I absolutely am so glad I did it and with amazing Mary who has such a talent for taking photos just makes you feel like magic!

"MARY WAS SO AMAZING TO WORK WITH!"

Not only did she make me feel so comfortable during the shoot, but she was great at giving directions and seeing a vision for the photos! We did a couple different locations during our shoot, and I appreciate how easy Mary was to talk to when deciding which places would look better with lighting, etc. Also, we did the shoot in the rain, and Mary brought me an umbrella! It was such a nice gesture and despite the rain, the photos were amazing! I highly recommend using Mary for any of your events or milestones!
