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 feel so honored to have had the opportunity to capture so many beautiful aspects of Frankie & Kendra’s love story. It began with Frankie’s wintry Downtown Frederick proposal where I was able to capture all of the joy and excitement of that once-in-a-lifetime moment. Then I was there beside them documenting their engagement and […]

Three months ago, Kayla reached out to me and indicated her desire to have maternity pictures taken in Northern VA. Due to the quarantine, she hadn’t been able to share the majority of her pregnancy with her family who live in the south, and she wanted a maternity shoot to commemorate this special time of […]

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting beautiful little Bellamy Ryan Gaines who was just 8 days young!

Have I mentioned just how much I adore maternity shoots? They’re quickly becoming my absolute favorite type of photography, especially as my mamas try out more and more of my new gowns from my client closet. I also love when I get to document repeat clients and be a part of memorializing all their precious […]

Baker Park Maternity Shoot | Frederick Maternity Photography

This Baker Park maternity shoot was a special one. I met Sumble this past year when she and Nathan joined our church home group. At first, Sumble was incredibly shy and barely spoke a word, but over the months she slowly warmed up and has now become a great friend. It was so fun seeing […]
