Always love the Utah Spring magic, even when it’s 2 seconds long. This year’s Capitol sessions did not disappoint 🌸🌼🌿

I’m a few weeks late for the “end of year” reflection, but feel so pulled to share my feelings regardless.

2025 changed me in so many ways, made me step into a higher version of myself in some, and to let go of myself in others.

I could have never imagined what the year had in store last January: moving twice, finding out about expecting our first child, the loss of my dad, learning to rise up and face the new challenges that his death brought in order to support my family.

There are so many emotions I’ve felt that I’m not sure I can even name them all.

But the one that stands out: gratitude.

Gratitude for the people who have showed up for me in the celebration and in the mourning.

Gratitude that although I’ve neglected my Instagram for months that my business still lives and thrives, giving me the flexibility to show up in my personal life when I need to.

Gratitude for the people who trust me to document their families, because it really is so important to do.

Gratitude that I had someone in my life who was so hard to lose. And gratitude that I get to welcome a new person into our family so soon.

So, thank you. For being here, for trusting me, for making this my sacred space. I can’t wait for what 2026 holds and to do it with all of you 🩷

Beautiful family by

This fall weather has been nothing short of perfection and I am so grateful! I’ve photographed this family year after year and it’s always a treat to see their kids growing up 💛🍁🍂

It’s been a whirlwind of a year, so grateful to have the best job and clients in the whole world 🥰

Have had the craziest month and so excited to share all the magic. Starting with this gorgeous family from a mentoring session earlier in July 🩷

Slowly starting to share some work from this summer 🩷 I’ve been working with this beautiful family for years and it’s always such an honor to photograph them again and again.

Bringing some summer energy with me into today to distract myself from the snowstorm happening outside my window.

This session warms my heart in so many ways. Madeline was an absolute dream to work with and she was so happy with the images she received. She wrote me the kindest review which stilllll makes me tear up when I read it:
“Mary is amazing! We are absolutely ecstatic with the family photos we received. Mary helped us with everything from coordinating outfits, to finding the perfect location, and getting comfortable in front of the camera. She was incredibly kind and patient with our two year old, taking the extra time to let him get adjusted & keep him happy (which is a feat in itself!). Not only is Mary the most talented photographer, she is also hilarious and the sweetest human. We felt like we were hanging out with a great friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience and I will constantly recommend her! She’s just the best!”

This is why I do what I do. I have big things planned to make my client experience even more amazing in 2024. I can’t wait for all of the fun and beautiful shoots to come!

Some beautiful people for this beautiful Sunday 🤍

Loved this session a couple of months ago with this amazing, fun, and stunning family! Can’t believe I haven’t shared it sooner!
