"Meet Mary Buck: A Snapshot Enthusiast and Memory Maestro 📸✨
Hey there, fellow memory-makers and moment-freezers! I'm Mary Buck, your friendly neighborhood master photographer with an undeniable passion for freezing time and capturing the heartwarming essence of families, kids, and teens here in the vibrant city of Atlanta.
With over two decades of lens-lovin' experience, I've transformed countless fleeting seconds into everlasting memories. From mischievous grins to playful giggles, and from monumental milestones to everyday marvels, I've got a keen eye for all things captivating and candid.
But hey, it's not just about the click of a camera for me – it's about the stories woven into each frame. I've even been awarded the prestigious Master of Photography by the whizzes at the Professional Photographers of America. Yup, I've got the creative flair, the talent, and the know-how to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary treasures.
As a mom to two wonderful grown kids and a doting grandma to a spirited granddaughter, I get it – life's swift and childhood's even swifter. That's why I'm on a mission to capture the growth spurts, the tiny triumphs, and the fleeting firsts that whisk by in the blink of an eye. And let's not forget my feathered friends – I've ventured into the wild world of nature photography, showcasing the intricate beauty of birds and landscapes that inspire awe.
When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me channeling my energy into giving back to the community that's nurtured my creativity. A photography teacher by day, an eager volunteer by night, and a fitness fanatic whenever possible, I'm all about embracing life's multifaceted wonders.
Whether it's a heartfelt family portrait, a whimsical child's portrait, or an enchanting piece of nature captured forever, my work reflects the profound belief that memories deserve to be cherished. So join me on this visual journey – you'll find my heart and soul in every snapshot.
Let's freeze those magical moments together!"

Why Photography?

Photography Develops Insight
Photography is all of these things, but most of all
Photography is Art
That is why I LOVE to photograph
Not because I have nothing else to do
Not because I expect to photograph all of life
But so I will be human
So I will recognize beauty and share it
So I will be closer to an infinite beyond this world
So I will have something to cling to
So I will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness, more good –
In short – more LIFE
