Mary Bowman
I feel most in my element with a camera in hand (or five..) and always get butterflies before I get to make photos with people. I specialize in creating a comfortable, intentional experience to create, have fun and receive images that feel authentic to you / your brand.
My business (and marriage- shoutout Joe, loml) turns 8 this year and I could not be more grateful that I get to photograph for my job year after year : )
A few of my favorite things:
my dog, bilbo :)
reading
thrift stores / estate sales
having the aux cord
bird watching
yoga
food/cooking
walks
coffee
watching sunrises / sunsets
Meet my sweet grandparents Tama and Robert : )
Grandma always had a camera in hand snapping photos of our family gatherings.
Sometimes we would have our eyes closed or would be in the middle of eating something, but regardless, her photos captured the feeling, laughter and warmth of everyone together. We would roll our eyes when the flash would go off saying “we weren’t ready!!” and she’d reply, “I got you!”
My grandpa photographed for the newspaper, taking photos from planes and always building his film camera collection. He was a quiet guy but we could chit-chat for hours about photography, I always felt that taking photos made him come alive. When he passed a few years back, he left me with some cameras from his collection. Using them on photoshoots is so special.
“Hiring Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! She did more than just take pictures; she captured the feeling of our day. Even when things didn't go exactly as planned, Mary's presence was so reassuring.
She has a way of brightening the mood for everyone around her and makes your wedding day feel so special. Her attentiveness to detail ensured that every important moment was documented, and receiving previews the next day was incredible. The photos are stunning and truly reflect the joy and love of our wedding. Thank you, Mary, for making us feel like royalty and for giving us such beautiful memories to cherish!”
