About Me...
Hello you! Thanks for following your curiosity to discover the lady behind the lens... I'm Mary Smith and I'm a chronic "Mamarazzi" to three beautiful little kiddos- two wild boys and finally, our little girl. My sweetbeans <3 It wasn't my children who inspired me to pick up a camera, like most assume, but rather a fellow military spouse whom I bounced ideas off of constantly. I proposed we start a boudoir portraiture partnership. I offered hair and makeup services, she photographed, I edited. It wasn't until this venture that I decided to pick up a Nikon of my own and move over to photographing wee little babies! After exploring this world of infants, I quickly became passionate about it.
My Photography: I could work with a newborn baby all day long. I love everything about them- from their fuzzy hairs, the way they curl, the squeaks that rise out of them when they notice I'm posing them like a pretzel, to the wrinkle that forms in between their wincing eyes atop the bridge of their tiny noses. I love to photograph a bouncing baby, making silly faces at them to capture those innocent smiles. Chasing and making animal noises for toddlers, cracking cheesey jokes to children, and asking high school seniors about their oncoming life adventures... Asking couples who are in love to act naturally to capture their true personalities, asking a mother to look down at her growing belly, filled with so many possibilities and hopes. Capturing the emotion in a hospital room as their baby enters their world. I feel like such a lucky person to be a fly on YOUR wall.
My editing style usually consists of airy hazes for a dreamier look. I like smooth skin, warm tones, and occasional pops of color.
