“Mary Pat is the best! I am a builder and worked with her to photograph several of my projects. The first time we met I knew I wanted to work with her. She was/is truly engaged in her work, and it is easy to see that she is excited about the spaces she works in. Recently, she came through for us in an emergency situation to capture one of my properties on last minute notice. Even with young children and other commitments, she made it work and came on a weekend photographing in daytime and evening lighting; then turning around with proofs in record time. She has a fantastic eye for lighting and perspective. She often brings some of her own supplies (flowers, bread, plants, etc) to create vignettes that help give life to a space. I have been thrilled with her work and encourage anyone who is looking for a photographer to hire Mary Pat. She is absolutely the right person for the job.”

"We couldn't be happier with the results."

Mary Pat is the best! She takes beautiful portraits and takes the time to find the perfect background for each shot. Mary Pat has taken all the photos of my toddler since he was a newborn, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

"Her warmth and humor immediately put us at ease"

Mary Pat shared her expertise during a fun and informative photo lesson. She patiently guided us through camera basics and tips for taking pictures in both professional and personal settings. Mary Pat's knowledge shone through our session, but it was her responsiveness to our particular questions that really stood out. Her warmth and humor immediately put us at ease, and I'm looking forward to working with Mary Pat again soon!

“[She] has an eye for making something very ordinary into something beautiful.”

Mary Pat has an eye for making something very ordinary into something beautiful. She is creative, thinks outside the box and sees things as others don't while keeping it real at the same time. She sees everything, not just the subject. She is incredibly talented and knows every aspect of what she is doing and more than that, you will never find a nicer, kinder and more thoughtful person. She is a true professional in every way and I have never had a better experience than working with her. We are so happy with the photos she did for us. Highly, highly recommend her for any type of photography. Mary Pat is simply the BEST!
