Meet Mary K.
Mary K. has always enjoyed taking photographs, preluding her career by bribing her two younger sisters with money from her allowance to let her take their photos with a 35 mm camera when they were kids. She would hang sheets as backdrops and spend endless hours perfecting the scene until she was finally ready to push the button for the flash to spark. After finishing a roll of 24 pics (or 36 if they had found a roll at K-Mart on sale) their mom would mail it off in a special envelope and they would wait weeks to get the glossy 4×6’s back in the mail. As her skills improved, she began charging for her services. Either trade a chore like doing the dishes or pay $1 per session.
As an adult, Mary K. was always the go-to person to document family events and did so for many family members and friends. After her own daughter was born, her passion grew to the point that she decided to open her own business, Mary K’s Photography, LLC in Virginia in 2015 and she’s never stopped.
In January of 2022, after seven years of visiting the area multiple times a year, Mary K. relocated full-time to the OBX, bringing her years of photographic expertise with her. She absolutely loves capturing treasured moments and is beyond excited to continue pursuing her passion for photography by sharing her talents with local area residents as well as the many couples and families that come to this beautiful region every year!
