I love capturing the spirit of families with vibrant, joy-filled photos! When I’m not taking photos, I’m likely off adventuring somewhere – hiking, roadtripping, or exploring some quaint little town. And definitely singing in the car on the way there.

Speaking of, music is my love language. I live for Taylor Swift’s lyrics, Glen Hansard’s soul, and a good Motown bop. I’m an Enneagram 3, Wing 4. Basically I’m ambitious and goal-oriented, but also have a soft, artsy side. If you mention your Enneagram to me when you reach out for a session, I promise we’ll be fast friends. Oh and I love autumn. Like, LOVE. Give me all the pumpkin everything, always. I am truly THAT girl and proud of it.

I'm Mary Catherine!
