HELLO!  THANKS FOR STOPPING BY MY WEBSITE!  I'M MARY, THE OWNER + LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER HERE AT MARY STEERE PHOTOGRAPHY.  I FEEL BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE CAPTURING SPECIAL MOMENTS IN THEIR LIVES.  I AM BASED IN THE HEART OF NORTH IOWA  BUT TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY SHOOTING WEDDINGS + EQUINE SESSIONS.

WHEN I'M NOT BEHIND THE LENS, I CAN BE FOUND IN ONE OF TWO PLACES.  AT HOME, WITH MY HUSBAND RICK  (AND POSSIBLY ONE OR ALL OF OUR SWEET GRANDBABIES!)  OR TRAILRIDING ON ONE OF MY MULES; PEARL OR ELLIE MAE WITH MY DOG, GABBY (AN AUSTRAILIAN SHEPHERD) TAGGING ALONG.  I ALSO LOVE A GOOD ROAD TRIP; WE FREQUENTLY TRAVEL OUT WEST TO COLORADO + IDAHO!  SO DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME TO BOOK A SESSION WHILE WE ARE THERE!  

I DREAMT OF BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER AS A YOUNG GIRL IN 4H.  I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A CAMERA IN HAND.  A FEW YEARS AGO, I TOOK THE LEAP & STEPPED AWAY FROM A  CAREER AS A SALES REP AND PICKED UP MY CAMERA FULL TIME.  MY LOVE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF CONTENTMENT BEYOND MEASURE.  IT ALLOWS ME TO BE CREATIVE & CONNECT WITH OTHERS AT SPECIAL MOMENTS IN THEIR LIVES.  I LOVE GETTING TO KNOW THOSE IN FRONT OF MY LENS WHO QUICKLY BECOME FRIENDS.  I HOPE YOU & I CAN BECOME FRIENDS AS WELL.  I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOUR STORY!
