Welcome to
Mary Kathleen Photography

Please, make yourself at home

 Kindness has always been my "thing".  "Kill 'em with kindness" was my motto all throughout high school. You never know what battle the person next to you is fighting. It's so important to be kind to others. I work to create a positive space online because I believe everyone deserves to be treated with kindness. Choose kindness.

I believe the world needs more kindness. 

"Professionalism that is unmatched."

“Every aspect of Mary’s business is run with a level of professionalism that is unmatched. Mary is not only a phenomenal photographer, she is a down to earth, personable, and caring person. 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!”

Really, the entire experience was much more than I even imagined."
