Hi, I'm Mary beth

A little about me

Photo by Mary Beth Russell KC

I may look like your typical midwest mom (let's be honest, I kinda am), but don't judge a book by its cover. Like any millennial who is in this industry, my passion for photography and video awakened in me from watching MTV music videos with my dad when I was a kid. The passion carried  me to college where I studied film and digital media. Since graduation, I've been photographing peoples weddings and life moments. The most important thing I've learned in over 300 weddings and fifteen years of doing this is what I knew to be true all along; You and your memories matter. My goal is to leave you feeling loved and making your moments feel as important as they are.


When I'm not photographing, I'm spending time with my family (Husband, two kids and one fur baby). If I'm relaxing, it means I'm probably watching hallmark Christmas movies, coloring or reading a sappy romance novel. See, total midwest mom. But when we can find a sitter, my husband and I try to get to concerts we are way too old to be at, and a life goal is to fill my basement with pinball and skeeball machines.
