I’m so glad I chose Mary for my baby boy’s one-year cake smash and splash session! When I was searching for a photographer, Mary stood out immediately—not only because of her amazing customer service and welcoming attitude, but because her setups were far beyond anything I had seen from other photographers in the area. My little guy was a bit sad and unsure at first, but Mary was so patient and kind. She worked her magic and helped him adjust pretty quickly, capturing the sweetest smiles. The entire session felt relaxed and fun, even when my little one needed extra time to warm up. Mary’s creativity, professionalism, and genuine love for what she does really show in every part of the experience. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be coming back for future sessions!

She had the whole setup ready, helped guide me through the session, and was so patient and great with our daughter. The photos turned out perfect—from the adorable cake smash to the cute splash-bath shots. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the final images. I highly recommend Mary to any parent. She really knows how to make these moments special.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Mary Purdy Photography! From start to finish, Mary made our baby boy’s one-year cake smash session so special and stress-free. We chose a theme from her promotional list, and even though it wasn’t a custom theme, Mary made it feel like it was created just for us. Every detail was perfect—from the backdrop to the handmade props! Everything tied together beautifully to suit our little one’s personality. Mary was incredibly patient and kind with our son, taking her time to make sure he felt comfortable and happy throughout the session. She’s wonderful with babies and knew exactly how to capture those sweet smiles, giggles, and even the messy moments, which quickly became our favorite photos! What really stood out to me was how easy Mary made the entire process. She provided everything we needed for the session. All we had to do was show up with our little guy and enjoy the experience. The setup was ready when we arrived, and it looked perfect! The photos themselves? I was blown away when we saw the final gallery. Mary’s attention to detail in editing really brought the photos to life. If you’re considering a cake smash session for your little one, I highly recommend Mary.

Mary is the best photographer we’ve used! She set up an amazing cake smash for my two-year-old and even provided her outfit and cake with the most original setup.

Mary has done our son’s one-year cake smash and a Christmas setup with Santa for our boys, and she couldn’t be any better. She has so many sets and props to make the photos truly magical. We were very impressed with how they turned out both times, and so was everyone who saw the photos. I previously worked for a photography company, and I’m incredibly critical of photography techniques. I have shopped around for years trying to find a great photographer for my family.

Jessica B. — August 9, 2024

★★★★★

Highly recommended! Mary is an amazing photographer! Our youngest daughter’s newborn session with her exceeded our expectations. She was very patient, and you just feel so at ease working with her. Her work was absolutely worth the investment. We can’t thank Mary enough for the beautiful memories she captured of our little one. We are definitely looking forward to our next session with her.

Rachel Rae Gorman — July 25, 2024

★★★★★

Mary was beyond amazing! She did my daughter’s cake smash at one year old and Christmas pictures for all three of my kids. All the pictures turned out amazing, but Mary herself is the real prize. She is beyond patient with the kids, including my crazy toddler, helps make whatever you envision possible, and helped make accommodations for my son with cerebral palsy. She is so talented, and her sets are gorgeous. I 100% recommend her! My sister even started using her when my nephew was born because she was so amazed by the pictures of my kids!

Emily Greene — July 12, 2024

★★★★★

Leaving another review because Mary is just that amazing! She was so patient with my kids and managed to capture gorgeous images during our fall session, even while working through a sprained ankle! She drove 30 minutes to meet us at our local park and still gave 110%. What impressed me even more was how many beautiful images we received—way more than I expected. Being able to download them all at no extra cost was such a bonus! Mary is absolutely worth every penny she charges. I can’t recommend her enough!

Laura Marmion — July 1, 2024

★★★★★

I had the best experience with Mary Purdy Photography. My son is autistic, and she was so patient. She is the only photographer I have been to who got the best photos of him and captured his smile. I really loved how my Christmas pictures turned out. I wanted the whole album because it was that good. I can’t wait until my new bundle of joy arrives so I can pick a background and have more photos done.

Tionne Oliver — June 19, 2024

★★★★★

Mary is incredible! Our daughter had so much fun during her cake smash session, and Mary captured every adorable moment. She was so patient and creative and captured every sweet—and messy—moment perfectly. Highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for beautiful, professional cake smash photos!

Jessica Carmichael — June 15, 2024

★★★★★

I was so thankful to have Mary do my newborn photo session that we also had her do our one-year cake smash. She had everything set up perfectly, including outfits and props, and let me include my ideas. She was so accommodating to my schedule, especially with having a newborn. She took her time and even pitched in to help soothe him when he got fussy. The baby had so much fun at his cake smash, and she had a beautiful cake made for him. My photos were returned to me in a timely manner, and they were beautiful. I recommend her to everyone. We will definitely be back for our next set of photos.

Christina Evens — June 2, 2024

★★★★★

Mary is amazing. Every time I think my kids didn’t cooperate or make good faces, she somehow gives me the most beautiful pictures in the end. She is so kind and gentle with children. She gets them to laugh and smile even if they are cranky! She is the absolute best, and I could not recommend her enough! You will not go wrong with this one!

Tiffany Fee — May 29, 2024

★★★★★

We went to Mary Purdy for our son’s first-birthday photos, and they came out beautifully. She has the patience to work with kids, and for that, I give her a huge thumbs-up! She was so particular about getting beautiful pictures, even when we parents were already tired.

Amy Christopherson — February 6, 2024

★★★★★

Writing another review because Mary truly deserves it! Her Christmas sessions with Santa are pure magic, but honestly, every session we’ve done with her has been amazing. Mary has never let me down, always delivering incredible results, even when I’m convinced she didn’t get a single good shot of my stubborn child! We’ve used her exclusively for three years now and can’t recommend her enough!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Mary. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. Not only is Mary incredibly talented behind the camera, but she also has a natural way of making your little one feel comfortable and at ease, which shows in every photo. Mary’s attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care that she put into my son’s cake smash setup were incredible. I’m so grateful for the gorgeous photos that now fill our home and can’t wait to book another session. If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism with a personal touch, you’ll be in the best hands!

Amber S. — July 17, 2021

Mary was so amazing with our son during his cake smash session. She was also able to create the exact setup we imagined. She did a wonderful job.

Michael Johns — April 8, 2021

★★★★★

My family and I visited Mary for our holiday family session. She had the most amazing setup—far beyond what other photographers in the area were offering. Her attention to detail was over the top, which is exactly what my style is. Not only is she very creative, but she and her assistant were also amazing with both our children and our dog. All of us loved the experience.

Megan Doorman — December 29, 2020

★★★★★

I found Mary in a mom’s group on Facebook. There were so many recommendations for her. I contacted many photographers, but after seeing her social media and website, I knew she was the one. She is also one of the kindest photographers I spoke to. Not only was she able to work with me and get my son’s cake smash done on such short notice, but she was amazing with my little guy during the session. I would 100% use Mary again.

Jessica M. — November 4, 2020

★★★★★

My wife booked Mary for our extended family pictures. She was amazing with our crazy bunch. She was very patient with all the kids and was able to easily accommodate my parents with comfortable posing options. We had such a great time with her. We cannot wait to see our gallery.

I highly recommend her if you’re looking for this kind of thing.

Nichole Lopez Dressel — July 11, 2019

★★★★★

It was a pleasure working with Mary! She created a beautiful rainbow hot-air-balloon setup for our son’s cake smash. Her creativity and passion for what she does really shine through.

I had my daughter’s cake smash with Mary, and she took her time and was very patient with my daughter. I’m so glad I found her. I chose a unique theme, and she hand-painted the backdrop and made props. I will definitely be coming back and recommending her to all my friends.

Samantha Dishman — April 14, 2018

Mary is awesome! Our mermaid picture turned out amazing! She took her time and was great with my kiddos.

Lacee Ewing Quarantillo — November 2, 2017

★★★★★

I wanted a maternity photo session that highlighted the addition to our family and the fact that our 21-month-old was going to be a big sister. Even though said 21-month-old was like taming lightning, Mary did a great job, and our photos were exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks so much!

Stephanie Carlson — November 2, 2017

★★★★★

I had my daughter’s session in September. Mary did an amazing job with the fall setup. I loved everything, from the setup to the photos. Lillian started to struggle toward the end, but Mary wanted to keep trying. It was an amazing experience. Thank you so much, Mary!

Jennifer Dick — November 1, 2017

★★★★★

We had an awesome experience during the apple cider stand mini sessions this past weekend. The set was adorable and very creative. My daughter loved Mary. She usually takes a long time to warm up to a new person, but within 10 minutes, she warmed up to Mary. I can’t wait to see the photos.

Stephanie Lynn Phoebus — October 23, 2017

Holly Murphy — September 27, 2017

★★★★★

I was so nervous because this was my first cake smash, and I was worried about the baby being fussy. Mary was outstanding. She took a lot of time with our little one, and she really captured the moments. Not only that, but she helped us feel confident that the photos would be great—and they really were amazing. Our little guy was not very cooperative, but you couldn’t tell because the pictures were so great. We will definitely recommend and use her again.

Eva Butzke Wein — September 21, 2017

★★★★★

I contacted Mary to do a mermaid photo session because she is obsessed with mermaids. Mary was very easygoing and made her feel comfortable. Best of all, the pictures turned out amazing! I would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Lindsay DietzelCarlo — August 31, 2017

Mary, thank you for helping to capture Adalynn in some of the most adorable poses ever. We loved the time and effort you took to make sure we were happy with our session. Those newborn memories are captured forever. Thank you!

Mary was fantastic! She was super patient with my girls and took her time. I will most definitely be using her again.

Chelsey B. — July 28, 2017

★★★★★

Thank you so much, Mary! We had such a blast at Romain’s cake smash. I loved how professional yet laid-back and fun it was. I was a little worried Romain wouldn’t sit still, but surprisingly, it wasn’t an issue at all. You must have some secret power. We absolutely love the outcome as well. The pictures are beautiful. I love them all. You captured so many of our boy’s expressions. I am so glad we found you. Thanks again!

Ashley Rios — June 25, 2017

I just had Mary do my maternity shoot, and I have to say she is the very best! I loved working with her, and I’m so pleased with my photos. I already have plans to have her do newborn pictures when the baby is born and some of the whole family as well. I highly recommend her!

Brittany Spiker — June 16, 2017

★★★★★

Mary was amazing! My son is 15 months old and was not willing to sit still. She was so patient and involved during the photography process. I had never met her before our lemonade stand mini session, but she was so friendly and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all. I love how these photos turned out. I definitely recommend her for your photography needs. We will definitely be seeing her again in the future!

Mary Palestis — June 16, 2017

★★★★

I can’t put into words how amazing Mary is! I was referred to her by a coworker and loved the work I had seen in pictures. Once we arrived for our own photo shoot, Mary wowed us with an amazing setup based on her birthday-party theme! The props, outfit, and cake—all included—had so much detail! Our daughter is usually a very happy baby and easy to get to smile. Of course, on the day of the shoot, she was completely the opposite. A one-hour shoot ended up taking us three hours, and not once did Mary show frustration. She tried so many different things to get our baby to warm up, including feeding her a bottle. My husband and I walked away, and our daughter loved Mary! She was smiling, laughing at Mary’s sounds, and loved the bathtub portion, even though she usually hates bath time. I cannot thank Mary enough for being so patient, kind, caring, and awesome with our baby girl! The pictures are absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait to show the family! Thank you so much, Mary! See you soon for more pictures, for sure!

Jabria Kay — June 9, 2017

Mary, you are creative and possess true talent. You captured my pumpkin’s best angles. The pictures actually brought tears to my eyes. I truly appreciate your patience and perfectionism.

Mila Gray — May 31, 2017

Mary was recommended by some moms in a local mommies group, and I’m so glad I chose her for a Mommy and Me mini session. She was right on time and patient with my six-month-old. The photos turned out beautifully, and delivery was quick and convenient. I look forward to her being part of more of our milestones.

Leena Moiz — May 16, 2017

Thank you, Mary, for all the hard work and dedication you put into your photography. Sam and I love our pictures and thank you so much for doing them. You are amazing, and we appreciate it all!

Katerina Algarin — May 7, 2017

★★★★★

The pictures Mary did for my son’s one-year cake smash were absolutely amazing, even though my son was stubborn and fussy. I would book with her a thousand times. Mary never gave up or became frustrated with him. She’s such a great photographer.

Nikki Harmel — April 17, 2017

★★★★★

Mary did a first-birthday cake smash for my daughter. My daughter was super fussy and didn’t want to cooperate, but Mary was very patient and committed to getting some great shots. The pictures turned out great! In addition, she took my vision and created an adorable setup!

Shannon Roenicke — April 11, 2017

★★★★★

Our first time using Mary was for an Easter mini shoot, and we loved it! We had technical difficulties on our first try, but Mary was more than accommodating. My boys are super shy, but she was very patient and made sure she got some good shots. Thanks again!

Jasmine Martin — April 9, 2017

★★★★★

My family and I could not be happier with how our Easter pictures turned out. This was our first time going to Mary, and it won’t be the last. She was so friendly and patient with the kids.

Glenda Szyl — April 9, 2017

★★★★★

Mary is a wonderful photographer, and I love working with her! She is very professional. She and her assistant, Richard, were patient and professional. She is also very creative! I knew after seeing her portfolio that I wanted to get our holiday pictures done with her. Her prices are also very reasonable, and she truly goes above and beyond, giving you more pictures than expected. I recently had my nephew’s first-birthday cake smash photos done with Mary, and of course, it was another great result! I loved that her price was all-inclusive. I just had to give her a theme and some ideas, and she put everything together—props, cake, outfit, and more. This factor alone keeps me coming back because she is so creative. Anyone who gets pictures taken by Mary will be very pleased! She has a great eye and is fantastic with children! I love my pictures from every session. I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

Chelsey Fierro — March 20, 2017

★★★★★

I contacted Mary looking for a unicorn-themed shoot for my baby girl turning one. She took my theme and made a beautiful, personalized setup for her pictures. It was more than I imagined! Even her smash cake was perfect! My little one was constantly crawling away from the set and became fussy, but Mary was patient and took her time working with us and my daughter to get pictures. I was more than pleased with her and will definitely use her again and recommend her to family and friends.

Joshalyn Scanlon — March 20, 2017

★★★★★

We love working with Mary. Even with an easily distracted toddler, she got beautiful shots we will cherish forever. We highly recommend her and will definitely be doing more sessions with her!

She is very patient with the little ones and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pictures. Mary’s passion for photography is definitely shown through her pictures.

Jennifer Guthrie — February 2, 2017

★★★★★

I found Mary in a local moms group, and I am seriously impressed with her work. The photos I received were absolutely stunning. I am still astounded by how beautiful they are. I’d like to add that we received many photos. I was only expecting five or six photos from the 30-minute mini session, and we received 15 beautiful photos! Mary also has wonderful customer service. I was unable to make it to the fall mini session that we had booked, and she had no problem letting us transfer our deposit to the winter mini. She even reminded me to book, which I really appreciated. I would have totally forgotten if she hadn’t! Working with her during the actual shoot was great. She was communicative and let us know exactly what she was doing every step of the way. We also didn’t have to wait very long to receive the digital gallery—about one week—which is much faster than some other photographers I have worked with. I am so impressed by Mary and Purdy Memories Photography and cannot wait to book with her again in the future.

Molly Cluster — December 20, 2016

★★★★★

I saw Mary’s advertisement in a Facebook moms group. From the start, she had impeccable customer service. I knew exactly what her package offered and what to expect. She worked closely with me to make sure our family session was everything I wanted it to be. She said it would be about a week until I had our photos, but she got them to me in days. They were beautiful and perfect. The online gallery was awesome and password-protected! I was able to give the password to family members out of state, who could then access my gallery and print from there. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone, and I’ll be using her again.

Amber Smith — December 15, 2016

★★★★★

Mary is so talented and good with my son! She always captures the best moments of him.

Ashley Shoemaker — December 5, 2016

★★★★★

Mary was fabulous. She was extremely professional while also being very playful with my two sons. They loved her! They never open up to anyone, but she had absolutely no problem breaking them out of their shells. She captured the best moments of my boys, and I’ll be forever thankful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I couldn’t wait to have their photos printed after I viewed their gallery.

Brittany Andrews — November 27, 2016

★★★★★

Outstanding customer service and extremely patient with my daughter.

Mark R. — November 1, 2016

We did Mary’s fall minis, and the price we paid compared with how awesome her setup was couldn’t be beaten. The pictures turned out perfectly! My kids also loved her. They said she was very nice and that they liked her better than the other photographers we have used in the past.

Natalie J. — October 23, 2016

I booked with Mary for fall minis, and the process went calmly and swiftly. The turnaround time for our gallery was extremely fast. I have tried other photographers in the area and did not receive the same outstanding service. I’ll be booking again for her next mini!

My wife and I booked my son’s six-month photos with Mary Purdy Photography. She was wonderful with our son and did a superb job. Book with her—you will not be disappointed.

My daughter’s one-year cake smash was magical and perfectly executed. Mary paid close attention to every detail. It was such a relief to show up and have everything planned out exactly as I had imagined and described. I was so excited about the three-sessions-in-one portion of this package. First, she took pictures in one outfit—we used the outfit I planned to use for my daughter’s birthday party. Then she moved on to the cake smash, and we were able to change my daughter into something less fancy. Lastly, she did a little tub portion as well. There are not many photographers in our area who offer this level of dedication and creativity. The tub portion was so adorable and definitely something above and beyond anything other photographers in the area offer. It was a perfect session.

My maternity session with Mary was outstanding. I felt so sick, tired, and completely uncomfortable. She made me feel great about myself. It was a very pleasant experience, to say the least. When I first viewed my gallery, I cried. I’m sure the pregnancy hormones had a lot to do with it, but my boyfriend was also beyond impressed. I will recommend Mary Purdy Photography to all my family and friends.

I am beyond impressed with my son’s first-birthday pictures. After getting quotes from several photographers, Mary’s package was the most reasonable. She wasn’t the cheapest by far, but the amount of time she put into creating a one-of-a-kind cake smash was impressive. I’m so grateful I decided to book with her.

I could not be happier! She braved the ridiculous heat with us on a Sunday evening and got amazing photos of my family. Her edits are wonderful, and she has a great eye for lighting and placement! She found multiple locations for us to get the perfect shot. We are so happy and would highly recommend Mary Purdy Photography!

I would like to start by saying Mary is awesome with children and definitely has a calling. I sadly had to reschedule my session with Mary twice due to family issues. She was understanding and had no issue doing this for me. On the day of our session, my daughter and son were both not interested in having their photos taken. My daughter is a bit of a princess, and my son, for lack of a better word, can be a bit of a clown. I was at my wit’s end, and Mary came in and saved the shoot. I was convinced she didn’t get any good pictures of us as a family. When I saw the gallery, I was surprised. They were amazing pictures and way better than I expected. She surpassed my expectations tenfold. Please book with her—you will not be disappointed.

My experience with Mary was stellar. At first, I was a bit skeptical when my wife showed me her Facebook photography page—not skeptical about her work because it looked top-notch, but because she had not been doing photography for very long. I decided to agree with my wife and roll with it. I was blown away by the results. I have already recommended her to several family members and friends, and I will continue to do so. She has impeccable talent, and I see her going very far in this business.

Our experience with Mary was beyond amazing. Her genuine patience, combined with her creative vision, makes this her absolute calling. We never felt rushed and were able to get every style of shot I envisioned for my son’s first-birthday cake smash. I’m so glad to have found someone with such great passion to take our family photos for years to come.

Mary is amazing! She was so patient with my son when he wouldn’t cooperate. My pictures came out great! I definitely recommend her to everyone, and I will be coming back for more as well.

I had my daughter’s first-birthday pictures done and absolutely loved them. Mary was very patient with my daughter. My daughter wouldn’t stop moving around and was very fussy, but Mary got awesome pictures of her. She treated us very well and even let me wash my daughter off after the cake smash! We will be using her for all of our photos. I can’t wait to book in the fall.

Mary is incredible. Her creativity, combined with her artistic eye, created the most beautiful family pictures that we will treasure forever. She was a pleasure to work with and made the whole experience comfortable and fun. She told me she was just starting, but you would never know it from her professionalism and the quality of her work.

I was so impressed with Mary. She was so patient with my daughter and managed to fit every prop I said I wanted into the pictures. I was impressed with how quickly she had them edited and returned to me, and I love every photo she took!
