Mary Grace Long Photography

I felt nervous when I arrived for my photo shoot, and Mary Grace put me at ease right away. She was truly lovely to work with and her portraits are beautiful; I couldn't be more pleased.

Mary Grace is an extraordinary photographer. We have worked with her on three occasions for both professional and personal photos, and she is gifted in putting people at ease and bringing out their true essence. I have never felt comfortable in front of a camera, yet the way she worked with me allowed me to relax, and I could not be more delighted with the images she captured.

Mary Grace is a phenomenal photographer. I really loved the photo shoot with her (that was done for getting a professional picture of me for the company). She brought the actor out of me. My family and friends love the pic she captured, and we are planning to do a more elaborate family portrait session with her. I highly recommend her and we will be recommending her everywhere. Already gave her contact to a friend of mine for his daughter 16th birthday celebration.

Mary Grace has captured the spirit and wonder of our boys throughout their childhoods. Each time she has put them at ease and created a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The results have been beautiful photographs that hold their essences and the joy of their childhoods that we will always treasure. Following his recent senior photo session, our son commented, "She was great, it was fun, and we had deep conversations!," and he was all smiles when he saw the photos. All very high praise from an 18 yr. old!

Mary Grace is one of the most genuine, authentic photographers one could hope to work with- she truly captures the inner light of her clients! I was truly touched by our session and completely blown away at the quality of her photography work. Incredibly grateful for seeking her out and her support & feedback through the entire process.

I cherish my photos taken by Mary Grace Long Photography. My family has had two photo series with Mary Grace and the pictures are beautiful. All of us look natural and at ease. At one session my two sons were in their teens. Mary Grace made them feel comfortable poses and trying stances. The photos capture us well and truly reflect the essence of who we were at those two times in our lives.

Mary Grace Long turns a photo into a work of art. Somehow she captures an essence that allows the eye to see more than what it's looking at! She photographed my family and I actually saw my sons in a new light (no pun intended!), from her suggestions of stance, movement and catching the perfect moments of their interactions. She's a delight to work with; energetic and full of ideas.

Never were we uncomfortable in any way. It was like she caught a great performance through her skill at directing us. I would recommend her to anyone. We will have another session in a few years - her pictures are an invaluable family heirloom.

Mary Grace is a phenomenal photographer. I have six children and several of them can be shy in front of the camera. Mary Grace is hilarious, warm and silly with my kids--she can make my most camera-shy child crack up and get an amazing shot his adorable smile at the same time. I know I can trust her to capture my children's true personalities on film--in both traditonal poses and in sweet, candid moments, and make both look so natural.

She has also taken absolutely lovely photos of my husband and me during our family sessions. Mary Grace is a gifted artist and so fun to work with. Our whole family heartily recommends her!

I needed a professional author photo and I was very happy to have found Mary Grace Long Photography. I had compared and contrasted many websites of professional photographers online and what made Mary Grace's portfolio stand out for me was how each of her clients' portraits shone with a calm and radiant quality. I met with her in person and we clicked.

She listened to and respected what I explained were my goals in my author photo, and went over the photos in her portfolio that were my favorites. When we met for the actual photo shoot she made me feel very much at ease in front of the camera. She came up with different ideas for photos to capture my best look. I am very satisfied with the resulting photographs.

It was difficult to decide which ones I wanted from so large a selection of great photos. Mary Grace made me look my best, and I recommend her for anyone looking for a great photographer.

My portrait experience with Mary Grace Long has been a joy. She has the natural ability to settle her subjects into simply being themselves. Part of her gift lies in revealing the subtle essence of people in images. Unlike any other portrait photography I have ever seen, her images delight and inspire. Most are simply breathtaking. I can honestly say you'll enjoy the entire experience and I am confident you will be thrilled with the images she creates for you.
