Telling your story through earthy, artful photography
documentary photography: weddings, portraits, birth, & brandS
WEDDINGS
As your photographer, my commitment goes beyond merely documenting events – I immerse myself in the narrative of your love story. With a commitment to authentic connection, I prioritize presence, so that every moment, sound, and smile is remembered. Your wedding day is a mosaic of moments, each deserving to be preserved in its purest, authentic form.
BIRTH SUPPORT + DOCUMENTATION
I believe life's most profound moments are found in the real, raw, and messy parts of our journeys. In the sacred realm of birth photography, my goal is to capture the authenticity of your story in the beautiful, raw and unscripted moments of life.
documentary-style portraiture
Whether you are welcoming a new baby, celebrating a milestone or gathering with extended family from afar, my goal is to authentically capture moments of warmth and love. Documenting cherished bonds creates timeless and precious memories.
collaborative + CREATIVE sessions
Collaborative sessions start at the essence of your vision. Whether it is weaving together the story of your creativity and brand or capturing the visual side of your artistic expression, my goal is to embody the true spirit of your art through documentary-style images.

“Mary Claire was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding celebration. She was incredibly organized, generous with her time, and we absolutely LOVED the outcome of our photos. We are due for our baby any day and are looking forward to another shoot featuring our newborn with Mary Claire.”
Focus on what matters
My number one piece of advice for engaged couples planning their wedding is this: focus your planning efforts on how you want to feel on your wedding day, not just on how you want it to look.
“We had an amazing experience with Mary Claire! She is both talented and professional. Mary Claire has such a wonderful way of capturing the spirit of an event and the emotions of the people. She was great at communicating with us and she really listened to what we were hoping to capture. Mary Claire was recommended by a friend, and turned out to be one of the best people we worked with for the entire event! I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again on future events!”

“After falling in love with Mary Claire’s work after I met her at my friend’s wedding, we booked her for a fall mini session for my family of 7. In 30 minutes she captured my kid’s personalities, had several suggestions for fun family shots, and even snuck in a few head shots for me. The amount of incredible photos she got in 30 minutes blew me away. Plus she was great with my kids and made sure they felt comfortable and had fun. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Mary Claire has a remarkable talent for putting clients at ease, making the entire experience fun and relaxed. She is also attentive to the overall creative vision and client preferences while bringing her own expertise to the table. This results in photos that exceed expectations every single time.”
