"Modern equestrian photography that blends classic equestrian tradition with rich visual narratives set against luminous landscapes."
Clients come to Mary for her refined aesthetic, spirited work ethic, and her collaborative nature based on a deep creative knowing and the ability to problem solve. Drawing upon sheer intuition, Mary is noted for finding the ethereal qualities of natural light or deliberately creating it. Her painterly editing style is rooted in years in the darkroom which is now implemented in the lightroom. Meticulous in the post process, she strives to bring color, passion and a bit of drama to each image she processes to create just the right look for each assignment.
SERVICES
Since my clients often have the best ideas, I like to involve them in every aspect of the shoot. This requires session planning in person or over the phone to discuss the location, the look and feel of the photography, wardrobe, props, hair and makeup, and all the little details that help create a successful photography experience. Whether it's a classic head shot, an editorial shoot, an equestrian lifestyle portrait or coverage of a special event, keep in mind that anything can happen–this is the exciting part of the creative process, it’s always about possibilities. Please feel free to contact me for package options and a la carte pricing.

About Mary
In the warmup ring, Flagstaff, AZ circa 1985
For nearly 30 years, I’ve cultivated a career in photography that spans nearly every genre ~ commercial campaigns, editorial, fashion, fine art, culinary, product, and photojournalism.
​
From art direction to styling, my experience has been as broad as it is deep. But at the heart of it all has always been one constant: storytelling.
Today, I’ve come full circle. Returning to the world that has always held my heart—the equestrian lifestyle. This is where my creative vision feels most at home. The quiet strength of horses, the elegance of the sport, and the timeless beauty of this world continually inspires my equestrian work.
I’m based in Santa Fe, New Mexico—a land of luminous light, dramatic landscapes, and unspoken serenity. It’s the perfect base for travel, allowing me to work with clients throughout the U.S. and internationally.
"Making photographs is my life’s work...It’s an inherent part of me, a way of being."
