Warning: if you don’t want another baby you probably should stop scrolling now because Emory’s lifestyle newborn shoot is gonna give you all the baby feels. Little Emory was such a cute, snuggly baby and that hair!! I love me some baby hair and his was just perfect. It took all my restraint to keep […]

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 […]

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting beautiful little Bellamy Ryan Gaines who was just 8 days young! As a photographer, it brings me no greater joy than to photograph the most important moments in someone’s life, and I have loved getting the opportunity to photograph first William as a newborn, then […]

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of maternity and engagement shoots, so when my good friend Brittany asked me to do a newborn shoot I jumped at the chance! Sweet baby Andie had just turned one month old and her cuteness was overwhelming. Like all my lifestyle newborn shoots, I met Brittany and Justin at […]

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 […]

Wow, 2018 has been an AMAZING year! We were blessed to work with so many wonderful couples and can’t thank them enough for entrusting us to photograph the most meaningful moments of their lives. As a special thank you to all of our 2018 Mary Sarah Photography wedding, maternity, newborn, and engagement clients, we are […]

Personal connections always make photo shoots so much more memorable and fun.  I connected with Heather a few years ago at the Holly Hills Bridal Expo when my booth happened to be next to her Heather Rae Style Studio display.  After talking for a few minutes, we discovered that her fiance, Michael, was a high […]

I haven’t done as many newborn lifestyle shoots as I have weddings or seniors, but each one is so special to me.  There is something breathtaking about capturing the interaction between parents and newborns, especially for the firstborn.  This newborn shoot was extra special because it was a birthday gift for Kelly from her sister, […]

My poor child. I must admit, a small part of me feels bad for Savannah.  She didn’t ask to be the firstborn of a photographer. If she had known she’d be subjected to multiple photoshoots for every season and holiday imaginable I’m sure she would have tried to get out of it.  Alas, she had […]

I can’t believe my little lovey is already 4 weeks old today! Savannah Grace entered our world and forever changed our lives on January 2nd, 2017.  She weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces (after pooping twice all over mommy! I’m confident she would have been an 8 pound baby had she just controlled herself!) and was […]
