Hello friend,

I'm MaryAnn!

 

I'm so glad you're here.

Inspired each day by ordinary things: the sunrise, the way light pours through the windows of our home, my photography is an expression of how I see the world, our little corner of it, and the beauty already flooding our everyday lives. We just have to pause long enough to notice.


I live in Lee's Summit, Missouri, where the sunset over the lake is the best part of every day, with my cutie husband, Robb. We're probably on the dock right now, him fishing, me reading. ;)


When I was gifted my first camera at twelve, I immediately began to observe and cherish moments that others might overlook - the gaze that lingers, the sacred quiet of new parenthood - moments that, to me, were art.



I fell in love, and I’ve been captivated ever since.

"To all who are passionately dedicated

to the search for new “epiphanies” of beauty so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world."

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER...

You can usually find me

Having a homemade latte on the porch, watching the sunrise/sunset

I'm obsessed with

My two kitten brothers, Thor and Loki. Angels sent from heaven (until they climb the mantle and knock all of my decor down)

Dream place to shoot

I used to live in NYC, and the day I shoot a wedding there will be SO full circle!

A couple in denim sits together on a grassy hill with golden autumn foliage in the background.

My go-to camera

My Canon R6, but I hope to get into film and could see that changin' my mind

Favorite Food

Mmmm anything on the Texas Roadhouse menu, or Italian my mama makes

One of my dreams is

To visit all the National Parks!!!

A bride in a flowing white dress holds a delicate bouquet of white roses and eucalyptus against a dark background.
Two people in light-colored dresses embrace while holding white floral bouquets in an outdoor garden setting.

I'd love to hear your story and cheer you on as you enter this next season of life!
