About

A bit about me if you’re interested….

I crossed the thirty-something threshold and though it kills my soul a bit, I’m so grateful to still get to be doing what I love. I grew up in West MI and relocated to Mid-MI a few years ago for the love of my life. I love the sea, sunshine, and a good soy caramel macchiato.

A little history in case you want it— Mary Irene Storytelling actually began in the heart of a seven-year-old who picked up (and promptly dropped) a little point-and-shoot camera, but the business itself came to be years later.. and so, for the highlights!

1- Before photography, my first love was writing. It was my discernible talent, and I definitely still jot down the angsty poem from time to time

[see: Instagram captions ;) ].

2- I studied communications in college and even though I barely passed the intro class, it ended up changing my perspective on people, and work and just about everything in between.

3- I believe in a lot of things. But more than just about anything else, I believe in remembering each moment and loving people for as long as we can, the best we can.

I (lovingly) drag my significant other Stephanie along on the majority of my photo sessions. She handles my administrative work, is my all-time favorite second lead shooter and handles organizing my AdHd self in order to be the best possible human for my family, friends + clients! She’s the very best person in my world and I’m excited for you to meet the other half of by Mary Irene.

Xo,

M
