Mary's Bio
I was born and raised in the small New England town of North Brookfield. With a graduating class of only 89 students, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
Although I had always had a passion for photography and ..the eye.. for it, it had never occurred to me that I wanted to become a photographer.
I worked in factories here and there for 18 years, hating every minute of it. One day I saw an ad in a local newspaper seeking a town reporter. Writing is my second passion so I called the editor. That phone call led to many freelance jobs as not only a reporter but as a photojournalist.
The first time I held a camera in my hands and shot my first published photograph is when I realized I wanted to become a professional photographer.
I enrolled in the Hallmark Institute of Photography and graduated in June of 2004. Though it was an extremely intense program and a trying time in my life, I know I made the right decision. I am happiest when I have a camera in my hands. When I..m not holding my camera I..m thinking about my next shoot.
Hallmark was the best move I ever made.
