Welcome!

Pour a cup of tea, play your favorite tunes, curl up in a chair with a quilt, and step into the world of whimsical, delightful photography. If you long for photos of you, your loved ones, or of your wedding day captured with a nod towards the fairytales you grew up with, we’re probably kindred spirits (as Anne Shirley would say!). I don’t care for portraits that capture me as a bland, regular Joe living in 2025. I want to look like a fairy, or an elf, or a fair maiden from long ago. If that sounds like you, we’ve got so much to talk about! View my gallery below to see if it’s everything you’ve dreamed of.

Meet your photographer

Hi! I’m Mary Louise. I love to be behind a camera capturing the beauty I see in this chaotic world. I love all things cottagecore, fairytale, and old-fashioned, so that’s usually something that comes through in my work! I’m so excited to meet you and your loved ones and capture some beautiful, whimsical moments with you.

Testimonials

From your local community

“We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding. Mary was delightful the whole way through. She was very flexible with us in our schedule, as well as going above and beyond with the photos before, during, and after. She also was very discreet in her photo taking. The photos themselves of course were perfect, and they were exactly what we wanted. Truly we could not be happier with her or her work.”

From Mary and Anthony

“Mary was great at taking advantage of the surroundings and lighting for our family photos!”
