I’ve been a photographer for 6 years...

Mary Kantner Photography brings authenticity and originality to clients by capturing their true selves.

I first picked up my dad’s camera 11 years ago. I started the way any newbie does — by taking photos of my surroundings; sunsets, mountains, family, a pair of old converse high tops. The more I did it, I soon figured out a common passion — people. I’ve since began to feed my love for photographing humans. I love seeing what they’ll do when I tell them to move, I love the way the light shines on faces & how I can capture emotions that are otherwise missed.

I love the experience of it all, for both me & the subject. I am purely self-taught, & did not go to school for photography. I was turned off of the curriculum of a photo class & felt that I had enough base knowledge from that first camera to propel me further. As a result, I’m not a cookie cutter shooter. I like blurriness, I like “flaws”. I like vulnerability. I like natural light.
