magical moments that radiate love, connection and joy
Family photos shouldn't be stressful.
Candid > Posed
I like to guide, not force. I want your photos to be authentic and feel like YOU. To do this, I will provide plenty of direction and fun prompts that lead to genuine moments unfolding your family’s own unique way.
Beauty in the Chaos
Life is hard, kids are crazy. Let’s embrace it and tell the real story of you! If you have a toddler who doesn’t want to participate, we’ll do what they want to do and we’ll still make magic. If you have a 5 year old who is giving us his best fake smile, I’ll tell the world’s worst jokes until we get a real smile.
Fun & Lighthearted
In my sessions, we play games. We hug. We kiss. We giggle. I make bad jokes. We chit chat like we’re old friends. I treat your kids like we’re best buds. I have a zero pressure mindset at my sessions.
So leave it to me! You don't have to do an ounce of work.
My portrait sessions are a fun, laid-back experience! I'll guide you with prompts and poses, you just relax and enjoy this time with your family. Worried about your kids lasting a full hour? Don't! I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make sure they stay engaged throughout the session.
Once we've picked the date, pay the $300 session fee, sign the service agreement and fill out the questionnaire. Boom, you're booked! The session fee includes the hour long session plus complimentary styling service. You'll purchase your digital images and prints later.
If you’ve taken a look around and love what you see, let’s chat! Just fill out the contact form to get all of the information about the Mary Catherine Photography experience, including collection options.
Three weeks after our session, I will deliver a slideshow presentation of your images to you via email. From there, you will have 48 hours to choose and purchase from one of three collections, which range from $875 to $1150. Each collection includes a different amount of digital images and print credit.
Time for the fun part! Use your complimentary print credit to select from a variety of products including albums, framed prints, and more.
Hooray! You’re booked! Now for the fun part: let’s plan your dream session! You'll be able to choose from a curated list of my favorite session locations OR we can shoot in your home! As far as styling goes, clients will receive access to both my complimentary styling service AND my client prep guide for help + guidance on what to wear prior to our session.
Does this sound like something you’d like to chat about more?

"Anyone who can get my 2 year old to focus for 45 minutes and even extract smiles deserves an award. I couldn't recommend her enough!”
