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.

I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day for Meghan’s maternity shoot at Linganore Winecellars! Meghan and Ryan are expecting their third, a little girl, and her two big sisters are sooo excited to meet her 🙂 This was my first time photographing the gowns Meghan chose (other than a quick beach self portrait […]

Ladies (and gentlemen) be prepared to be in awe of the beautiful mama that is my friend Taylar!

Stone Tower Winery Wedding Styled Shoot | Leesburg VA Wedding Photographer

You guys, I am being 100% honest when I say this Stone Tower Winery wedding styled shoot was one of the most gorgeous shoots I’ve had the opportunity to photograph.

Frederick Maryland Lifestyle Newborn Shoot Mary Sarah Photography

There’s nothing comparable to the joy and awe you feel when your little one enters the world. Suddenly there seems to be nothing more exciting than just staring at their little nose, playing with their fingers and toes, and listening to the sweet little noises they make when they sleep. Time seems to pass by […]

20 Gorgeous Golden Hour Wedding and Engagement Pictures

engagements, Weddings

It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE photographing around golden hour. Sometimes referred to as ‘magic hour’, golden hour is the period of time right before sunset when the light is warm, diffused, and just plain gorgeous.  Realistically, the window of opportunity is more like 20 minutes or even less depending on the landscape and […]

Frederick Maryland Maternity Photographer – Snow Maternity Shoot

maternity

Considering we had snow just yesterday, I’m telling myself it’s not too late to post this snow maternity shoot. (I mean, let’s be real, I just popped out a baby 2 weeks ago so I’ve been a little preoccupied trying to keep two tiny humans alive.) Still, I was so in love with Meghan’s mini […]

Stone Tower Winery Wedding Shoot | Leesburg VA Wedding Photographer

Weddings

Stone Tower Winery may be my current all time favorite wedding venue. Between the gorgeous vineyards, pond, reception hall, and wine cellar it’s hard to find a venue in the Leesburg and Loudoun County area that doesn’t offer more. Which is why I was so excited to participate in a Stone Tower Winery wedding styled […]

Snow Maternity Shoot – Frederick Maryland Maternity Pictures

maternity

Oh man, this snow maternity shoot is just making my heart sing! As soon as I purchased my wine “Bree Gown” from Sew Trendy Accessories, I was hoping to be able to photograph it in the snow. Mallory also loved the idea of a snow maternity shoot, but neither of us were too keen on […]
