Recently I was asked what advice I would tell me preteen self. I said it instantly: “What makes you weird is what makes you great.” I spent decades diminishing everything that made me special because I was afraid of being different, outcast, uncool. And it wasn’t until I grew up and started to express myself from behind a camera that I learned so many people (especially women) connect with the way I question and see the world. I use a camera, a pen, and - more recently - a stage to express myself. What do you use? Odds are, it’s what you did as a little girl... I love photographing girls like Gabby, age 11. A dancer, a closed-mouth smiler (though we got that laugh to erupt a few times!) At one point she burst out of the dressing room in her favorite dress and did a dramatic pose, aware that no one was particularly watching. I thought, that’s how great Gabby feels right now and she’s expressing it for no one but herself. Yet in that moment she inspired me, as cliche as it sounds, to dance even when nobody’s watching. #internationaldayofthegirl
Power WITH, not power over - that is woman. Compassion and drive toward a goal that helps us all - that is woman. Sometimes it’s easy to think we women have to be more “traditionally masculine” (whatever that means) in order to be successful leaders. But we don’t! None of us do. We are in our full power when we step into who we are and confidently share that with the world.
We got to spend the week in Maine documenting Jes and Karly's breathtaking wedding. Thank you, not just for being wonderful people but for saying I do in the most beautiful place Jordan and I have ever seen and then hiking for miles for wedding portraits. You deserved every moment of that perfect day!
Dear women, If I could gently grip your shoulders and tell you one thing today, it's this: Don't be afraid to take up SPACE. Thank you Mary for letting your fierce beauty shine. You are strong. 🖤
Mother daughter portraits are so special, but do you know what else is special? A little girl watching her mom be photographed alone, too — a little girl watching the woman she admires celebrate her SELF and her own beauty 💛
Several times (including this morning) potential clients have requested photos on the "Paris backdrop." I always laugh and say, "Then let's go to Paris!" Because it isn't a backdrop - it's the real thing." And you know, I hear it's pretty beautiful in the spring. Who's in? We've got a few months to pick out your dresses💛
