About Merry
Hi, I’m Merry - I’m an intentional storyteller, connection-seeker, and yes, a true city girl at heart. I grew up in Hoboken, but I’m endlessly drawn to open skies, quiet sunsets, and water that reflects light just right.
I have always had a way of “seeing” that allows me to connect with those around me. I notice the in-between moments, the unspoken glances, the way someone softens when they feel safe. These are the memories that often go overlooked, yet they’re the ones that linger the longest. They tell the real story. They’re what I aim to preserve.
My love of photography deepened after losing my father to Alzheimer’s. As I searched for pieces of him in old photos, I realized just how powerfully images connect us. How they tell not only our shared story, but also who we are becoming.
Today, I use photography to help women, mothers, and dreamers feel seen, and to celebrate the stories they're living right now. Whether it's a branding session that reflects your inner fire or a portrait session that honors the beauty of your everyday life, I’m here to witness it with you.
And yes, I’m also known as “Aunt Merry” to my favorite crew of kids, an identity I wear with pride. They remind me daily of the power of presence and the magic in being known and loved just as you are.
It’s my honor to do this work and an even greater honor to do it with you.
xo,
Merry

Because we all deserve to feel seen.
Because time moves fast and everyday is a gift.
Because your story matters now—not someday.
My work isn’t about perfection. It’s about truth, presence, and honoring who you are in this moment. I don’t just take pictures. I help you recognize the beauty that’s already there—and give you something to return to when you need to remember.
Why this work matters to me?
What it’s like to work with me?
Expect to feel seen, supported, and gently guided… never posed or pressured.
I create space for you to show up just as you are, allowing real connection and emotion to lead the way. Whether you're coming for empowerment, motherhood, or branding, our time together is relaxed and meaningful.
We’ll laugh, maybe cry a little, and celebrate the beauty of now. You won’t have to “perform.” You just get to be. I’ll handle the rest.
