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.

Frederick Maryland Lifestyle Newborn Shoot Mary Sarah Photography

newborns

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Frederick Maryland Maternity Shoot

Meet my friend Kelly, who proves that you can be 38 weeks pregnant and still absolutely stunning! I met Kelly when I photographed her first son, Camden, for a  newborn shoot a couple years ago.  We found out we both attended Mountain View Community Church and as we’re always looking for friends in our same stage of […]

Lifestyle Frederick Maryland Maternity Shoot – Brittany and Justin

maternity

Brittany and Justin are some of our dearest friends and we couldn’t be more excited that in roughly four weeks they will be parents! Brittany found out she was pregnant on Justin’s birthday and surprised him that evening with a gift of a little onesie. For one of the first times in his life, Justin […]

Frederick MD Maternity Shoot – Drew & Jen

maternity

A few months ago, I was chatting with Jen on the phone when she dropped the huge news that she and Drew were expecting! I’m not one to get teary-eyed, but I started crying on the phone because this precious baby is literally an answer to over two years of prayer! The thought of them […]

Frederick MD Newborn Lifestyle Photography

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 […]

Frederick MD Newborn Lifestyle Pictures

newborns

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, […]

Savannah the Leprechaun {St. Patrick’s Day Newborn Shoot}

newborns, Personal

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 […]
