Because real confidence doesn't need filter. It needs clarity.

The images I create for you can be used for...

If you're a coach, consultant, creative, or any kind of small business owner in Frankfort or the Chicago South Suburbs, this is for you.

Whether you're finally stepping into the spotlight or just ready to stop hiding behind outdated headshots, I'm here to help you show up with clarity (and a bit of style).

The images we capture will serve you across your entire marketing ecosystem—website, rebrand, social media, podcast artwork, email banners, print promos, your next online course, and yes, even that book you’re finally writing.

And if you're someone who freezes up at the thought of “posing,” don’t worry.

I’ll guide you through it like a seasoned pro who knows exactly how awkward this can feel. Because I am one.

THE PROCESS

Tired of staring at your screen wondering what to post?

I help you ditch the fake-looking stock photos and create an image library that feels like you. No more scrambling for content or explaining what you do—your photos will do the heavy lifting.

STEP ONE /

YOUR PLANNING

We’ll kick things off with a no-fluff strategy session. You’ll fill out a quick questionnaire (I promise it’s painless), then we’ll talk through your brand, your business, and what you actually need these images to do.

Together, we’ll create a shot list, Pinterest board, and clear plan so you feel prepared—not panicked.

And yes, you’ll get support leading up to the shoot, so you're not second-guessing outfits or wondering if your lipstick is too much.

STEP TWO /

YOUR SHOOT DAY

This is usually the part people stress about—but it ends up being easier (and more fun) than they expect.

You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you through everything so you feel comfortable and look natural—no stiff smiles, no awkward angles.

We’ll follow the plan we created, move through each setup with ease, and get images that feel like you—confident, relaxed, and professional.

Think of it like a relaxed workday with good lighting and slightly fewer spreadsheets.

STEP THREE /

YOUR IMAGES

Once the shoot’s done, we’ll go behind the scenes to make sure every image looks polished but still like you.

Then we’ll sit down together for a personal viewing session where I’ll guide you through your images and help you choose the ones that best reflect your personality, brand, and goals.

It’s not about picking the “prettiest” photo—it’s about choosing the ones that work hard for your business.

WATCH THE EXPERIENCE

This is for you if

You’re over using the same stock photos as everyone else and want your business to actually look like you

You're ready for a more polished, professional online presence—without losing your personality

You want clients to feel like they already know you before they book

You want a month’s worth of content done in a day (and your weekends back)

You like the idea of having a ‘bucket’ of scroll-stopping, on-brand photos you can pull from any time—without feeling the need to be “on” 24/7

Hi, I’m Mary.

I’m a photographer based in Frankfort, IL. Former corporate type, slightly over-organised, lover of to-do lists and learning things the long way.

I photograph people in business who’ve spent years building their credibility but still feel weird about being “visible” online.

You know it’s time to show up properly—but you'd rather do it with someone who understands what it’s like to second-guess every outfit, caption, or eyebrow arch.

I’ve been there. I am there most days.
But I’ll help you get through it—and you’ll walk away with images that feel grounded, confident, and most importantly… you.

an amazing experience

Mary is an absolute pleasure to work with! She was versatile, creative, and came prepared with so many great picture ideas. Made the whole experience fun and easy—highly recommend!
