About Mary

Meet Mary Buck
A SNAPSHOT ENTHUSIAST & MEMORY MAESTRO
I’m Mary Buck, an Atlanta-based Master Photographer with an unyielding passion for capturing life’s most precious moments. With over 15 years of experience behind the lens, I specialize in transforming fleeting seconds into cherished keepsakes that stand the test of time. Whether it’s the mischievous sparkle of a child’s eyes, the tender bond of a family, or the triumphant glow of a teen on the brink of a new chapter, I’m here to celebrate every stage of life with vibrant, heartwarming images.
As a proud recipient of the Master of Photography designation from the Professional Photographers of America, I bring expertise, creativity, and a sprinkle of magic to every session. My approach goes beyond simply snapping photos – it’s about weaving stories into every frame. From monumental milestones to the beautifully mundane, I aim to preserve the moments that define your journey.
As a mom to two amazing grown kids and grandma to a two lively granddaughters, I know how quickly time flies – especially during childhood. That’s why I’m devoted to capturing the giggles, the growth spurts, and the fleeting firsts that deserve to be remembered. My lens also finds joy in the wild – exploring the intricate beauty of nature through bird and landscape photography, sharing the awe of our natural world.
Beyond photography, I’m deeply committed to giving back. As a photography teacher, I’m honored to inspire the next generation of visual storytellers. When I’m not mentoring or volunteering in the community, you’ll find me chasing fitness goals, embracing new adventures, and celebrating the multifaceted beauty of life.
I’m also a nature photography and published author of Wings Over Duluth, a coffee table book about my backyard birds.
Let’s create something unforgettable together – heartfelt portraits, whimsical snapshots, or breathtaking nature scenes. Every click of my camera reflects my belief that memories, like moments, are treasures meant to be savored.
