Welcome to
Mary Kathleen Photography
Kindness has always been at the heart of who I am.
Back in high school, my motto was "kill 'em with kindness," and honestly, it still is. You never know what someone else might be going through, which is why I believe in leading with empathy, encouragement, and love, always. In everything I do, online and in real life, I strive to create a positive, uplifting space. A place where you feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Because at the end of the day, kindness costs nothing but means everything.
I believe the world needs more kindness.
"Professionalism that is unmatched."

During our session, she was able to work at a quick pace, capturing exactly what my business embodies. She exceeded expectations, leaving me in tears of joy. She provided me with something so special that will last forever. I’ll forever be grateful with what Mary was able to do for my business! SHE IS ONE OF A KIND!”

"More than I even imagined"
Kind Words
"I loved working with Mary for many reasons, but a few of my favorites were her fun but relaxed nature, making me feel comfortable during the photo shoot. I also loved that we both had a common end goal and worked together; it was exciting! Mary has this way about her that helps you become more relaxed and enjoy the process. Really, the entire experience was much more than I even imagined."
