I love your work. A friend of mine called me and said, "I just found a photographer who you are just going to love!" Your work is exceptional! It is emotive! It is pure Love! I love it! You connect with your clients, which I know is a term that is used loosely in photographer's biographies all the time, but you are what they are trying to describe. I am just amazed and I am so honored to have seen your work.

--Erin Drallos, Photographer, Missouri

I thoroughly enjoy your work. Your sensitivity in capturing the soul of the people is especially apparent, not to mention your style. You WILL be remembered as one of the greats!

--Clarence W. Walker, Georgia

The human race is so beautifully served by your portraiture - exquisite Mary Grace!

--Maggie Conley. Connecticut

Mary Grace surpassed my expectations with the beautiful shots she delivered for my parent's joint 80th birhtday and family photo session. Having worked wih hundreds of fashion and beauty photographers over the last 35 years in advertising, I had very little hope that I would find anyone that would be able to delight me. Not only were the shots warm and lovely, but the shoot itself was easy going and fun. Mary Grace was able to get the absolute best out of each and everyone of us. And, we all look like we were really enjoying ourselves!

--Beverly Okada, Creative Director, Saatchi and Saatchi, NY

Dear Mary Grace,

i just wanted to thank you...

I came to your website and started viewing the photos. I was stunned...every person...no matter their age, appearance, or facial expression was absolutely perfect...beautiful. The music and images put a lump in my throat. Your work took me to the place where I could see the beauty and magnificence of the human soul once again. A priceless gift...

With much gratitude,

--Anonymous

Mary Grace brings out the spirit and natural beauty in people...she makes regular people look great. Her manner is relaxed, the shoot was fun, and she managed to take beautiful photos of someone (me) who has not traditioanlly been very photogenic. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and will refer her for sure; but her work really speaks for itself!

--Laurie Rosenfeld, Seattle, WA

Mary Grace,

I'm sending your website to my daughter who is getting married in September. I'm also sending your website to everyone I know. The most beautiful photos of people I think I've ever seen. You give Annie Lebowitz a run for her money. The relationship photos brought tears to my eyes. All the types of tender human relationships photographed with such KNOWING.... My DEAR, Miss Mary Grace, you are so gifted.

--Karen Hannegan, tai chi and qigong teacher, WA

Dear Mary Grace,

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on our photos!! You have been a joy to work with and I really appreciate your level of professionalism. You will be the first person we call if we ever need photos again and/or refer our friends to you! Warmest Regards.

--Alison and Rhett, Seattle WA

Wow Mary Grace, way to exceed my expectations!

The preview is a huge hit. I love it, Eleanor loves it, and I can't wait to see the rest. I really enjoyed the sitting and I'm looking forward to coming back with my family for a family portrait. I will absolutely recommend you to others with great delight.

--Ben Trelease, Seattle WA

Hi Mary Grace,

Well, I knew it was a mistake for me to do this. They are just stunning. I want one of every one. Should I just give you the keys to my house? I think I have enough equity to cover the bill. I also haven't gotten any work done since I received the gallery as I've been admiring all the images. So I'll wind up both homeless and unemployed, but with a lot of beautiful photographs. Thank you very much.

--Patrick Moody, Bellevue

Mary Grace,

Thank you so much for working with me yesterday on my promotional/busienss photogrpahs. I think you are amazingly gifted and will recommend and suggest you to anyone. You made it easy for me to sit for you. I don' t know how you do it, seems like magic but the result is that you capture the spirit and soul of the person you're photographng. You are truly a Goddess.

--Penny Bowman, Bainbridge, WA

Mary Grace,

I cannot tell you how much I love the photos...they are truly beautiful and you do amazing work. Thank you again...the gallery made me cry!

--Alethia Mead, Seattle

THANK YOU again for your incredible work and all of your help throughout the process. The images are absolutely breathtaking. My mother-in-law came over last night and saw the pictures of the kids on our wall and she started tearing up and said they took her breath away.

--Eungi Fuller, Seattle

Hi Mary Grace,

I watched the video of you on You Tube, photographing a family - that was great! You are my new favorite photographer, and I hope we'll have lots of opportunities to work together in the future (more graduations, family reunions, someday engagement announcements, and then maybe grand babies!).

--Ginna Wall, Seattle WA

Dear Mary Grace,

Many thanks for your superlative artistry!

I spent many days mining the internet, paging through the work of area photographers, looking for that something special. When I found your website and looked at your work, I knew I had found the artist I was seeking. The photos on your website were so real and so intimate that I had an almost uncomfortable sense that I was intruding when I looked at them, yet I was irresistably drawn to them. It is truly a gift to make a photograph which tells a story in a single image, and you are truly gifted. Sara's photos are as beautiful and real as I knew they would be. Your philosophy states that you aspire to produce a photograph which sings...these photos don't just sing, they sing an aria!

Best regards,

--Charlene K. Dunlap, Issaquah

Dear Mary Grace,

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you! I can honeslty say that I have never been so happy with photographs of myself until I received yours. You have amazing talent and such a warm personality. I will be passing along to all of my friends and family, my highest recommendation of yoru work! Thank you for beautiufl photographs!

Best Wishes,

-Janna Quedado, Seattle

Dear Gabrielle,

Your photos are fabulous! You look as gorgeous as you were that night! And, I love your photographer! (I knew it by watching her the night of your wedding but the photos are really spectacular and truly capture the feel of your special event!) Anyway, now that you've heard what I think..What are your thoughts about them...Are you absolutely thrilled?

Hi Mary Grace,

These are wonderful! We love how you captured both the spirit and beauty of the ceremony and Kyra's many expressions. The photos of the actual baptizing are priceless! Thanks again...not only are you immensely talented but you were a great pleasure to work with!
