Hi, I'm Mary



I'm a senior and lifestyle photographer based in Allen, Texas, creating natural, candid portraits for seniors and families throughout North Texas.

I don't believe you need to know how to pose to get great photos. I guide you through the entire session with simple prompts and movement that help you relax, have fun, and actually look like yourself.

From choosing the perfect location to figuring out what to wear, I'll be there to make the whole experience easy—and hopefully a lot more fun than you expected.

Mary was incredible to work with! We had never met before, but she quickly had my son at ease and enjoying the photoshoot! We are beyond pleased with all of the photos! Could not be happier!!!

Valerie - Allen TX

Holy cow! You guys, Mary is AMAZING! I regret nothing about choosing her. Best decision!



Jessica - Allen TX

Mary captured the essence of our family in the most beautiful way. We were so pleased with her pictures, that we couldn't decide and wound up purchasing the entire gallery, as well as some prints. We will definitely be using Mary's services in the future! Highly recommend

Yvonne - Plano TX

Mary did a fantastic job on our family Christmas photos... even managing to wrangle our out-of-control dog. So many good choices from the shoot and we couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Thad - McKinney TX

We had the best first time experience with Mary. The amount of quality photos she was able to get in a short amount of time before the kiddos start getting antsy was truely impressive. Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her skills in the near future.
