Hello, I'm mary
MNL PHOTOGRAPHY CEO
Hi, I’m Mary—the face behind MNL Photography. I’m a San Marcos-based photographer originally from Livingston, Texas. As a single mom, I know how important it is to make memories without breaking the bank, so I keep my sessions affordable and full of heart. Capturing real moments in natural light is what I love most, and I’d be honored to tell your story through my lens. Can’t wait to meet you!
Who i do it for?
Everything I do, I do for my children. They are my greatest motivation and the reason I work so hard every day. As a single mother, I want nothing more than to make them proud—not just with my photography, but with the life I’m building through it.

MNL Photography isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of the love I have for my kids and the passion I pour into every session. When you choose to work with me, you’re helping support a dream built on strength, heart, and the hope of creating a brighter future for the ones who matter most.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

my approach
mnl photography
At Mary’s Natural Light Photography, I’m all about capturing real, joy-filled moments that feel just like you—with the soft, glowing magic of natural sunlight. Whether we’re chasing golden hour or sharing laughs outdoors, I create photos that feel warm, effortless, and full of life
While outdoor sessions are my specialty, I also offer studio sessions for a more polished vibe. No matter the setting, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and truly celebrated.
Because the best memories don’t need heavy posing—just real connection and a little sunshine
