Welcome to the blog!

Hi! I'm Mary Sarah

 I'm a Jesus follower, mac 'n cheese lover, and travel enthusiast. I specialize in wedding, high school senior, and lifestyle photography in the Frederick, MD area but am always down to travel. I'm a mama to two, married to my high school sweetheart, and am passionate about authentically telling love stories through photography and eating as much dark chocolate as I can. Stick around awhile to view the latest love stories I've had the privilege of capturing.

Chris & Ashley’s Country Engagement Shoot {Frederick Engagement Photography}

engagements

I love getting to photograph at new venues, so I was very excited when Ashley requested we do her and Chris’s engagement shoot at her father’s farm.  However, I had no idea just how gorgeous their farm would be!  As soon as Brent and I arrived we knew this was going to be a fantastic […]

Nora’s Newborn Shoot {Frederick MD Newborn Photographer}

newborns

Meet the adorable Nora Lynn Krop.  Born on September 9th and weighing in at 7lb 14 oz and 20 1/4 in long, Nora is an absolute cutie.  She is also incredibly blessed because she was born into the amazing Krop family.  Nora’s parents, Stephanie and Rob, have become like family to Brent and me.  Stephanie and I […]

Crystal & Ryan’s Frederick MD Engagement Pictures {Frederick, MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

I couldn’t have asked for a prettier day for Crystal and Ryan’s engagement shoot.  The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect.  Crystal and Ryan are such a cute couple and Crystal was all beautiful smiles.  Even though they were a little nervous at first – which is perfectly natural – after a few minutes […]

Jake & Jackie’s Westminster Riding Club Wedding {Westminster MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

Jake & Jackie’s love story is adorable.  They started as high school sweethearts, then dated for seven years before finally getting married right out of college.  In his toast, Jake’s brother stated that Jackie was already his sister and that today just made it official.  It was special seeing how close the two families were and […]

Lori & Joe’s Holly Hills Wedding {Frederick Maryland Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

As we all know, a wedding is a celebration of  two people joining as husband and wife.  Lori & Joe’s wedding, however, illustrated that it’s more about the joining of two families than two individuals.  Between them, Lori & Joe have seven children and I loved how they incorporated their children into their wedding day.  From […]

Kelsie & Tyler’s Walkersville Md Wedding {Walkersville MD Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Kelsie & Tyler are one of the sweetest couples I have had the pleasure of photographing.  They are also incredibly kind and easy going which made our job a breeze on Saturday. After I had to reschedule their engagement shoot three times due to rain, I was curious to see what type of weather we would get […]

James & Hayley’s Springfield Manor Wedding {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

Weddings

I have been working nonstop to wrap up James & Hayley’s wedding blog because I cannot wait to share it with the world!  Every detail about this wedding was stunning, complimented by the beautiful landscape at Springfield Manor on a crystal-clear, 75-degree Saturday afternoon.  James & Hayley are truly a perfect match, and the love […]

Lori & Joe’s Downtown Frederick Engagement Shoot {Frederick MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

 I couldn’t have asked for better weather or a nicer couple for my first engagement shoot of the year.  Lori and Joe are so sweet and are a beautiful couple.  You would never guess that between the two of them they have eight children!  We had a lot of fun laughing and joking around while […]

Elizabeth’s Frederick MD newborn photoshoot {Frederick MD newborn photographer}

newborns

Welcome to the world Elizabeth!  Elizabeth is such a cutie and is the first daughter of proud parents Kristen and Blane. I have known Kristen for a few years, having been her long-term sub when her first son was born. Since then, we’ve kept in touch and this past summer Kristen and I had the […]

Ben & Rebekah’s Snowy I Still Do Shoot {Frederick, MD Wedding Photographer}

engagements

Mary Sarah and the cold do not particularly get along very well.  As such, the idea of a snow photo-shoot was born more out of a desperation to start photographing again, and less out of a desire to actually go outside.  The Sunday after Saturday’s big snow dawned a sunny and balmy 43 degrees, so […]
