Candid Creations by Mary Photography

These days young couples have it all together when they are expecting.  I remember not knowing if my first child was a boy or a girl and not picking out names until I saw their little faces.  I loved working with these guys and they were so much fun to be around in the studio.  All the best to yo...

One of the drawbacks to being a photographer is having to take your own family photos.  Sounds like it would be so easy – but ask any of my family and they will tell you stories of past family sessions not going as well as I had hoped.  There was the time I waited until the sun was just rig...

What a fun couple to work with on their engagement photos!  Steven proposed to Jessika on their walk-thru of their beautiful new home in Memphis.  So of course we had to start our session there.  They have planned an incredible mountain meadow wedding in Colorado with a reception hopefully at a b...

This was my second time to photograph this beautiful family but my first time meeting little 5 month old Lindsey.  What an absolute doll baby!  Her features are so petite and just the happiest little girl for the whole session.  I wanted to be able to match some of the black and white images we h...
