Celebrating your moments, big and small.

You know there’s a difference between acceptance and enthusiasm, that’s why you’re here. You don’t want to have to question whether your photographer is going to be okay with your existence, you just want to be celebrated in photos like anyone else.

You deserve to celebrate your life in style and comfort.

That Gay Photographer is here to help.

LOVING WHAT YOU SEE?

Southeastern MIchigan Family and Senior Photographer

From polyamorous families to single parent households, you deserve to celebrate your family as it is and in whatever configuration your family happens to take! Family photos can be fun, timeless and enjoyable with a photographer that respects you and your family.

Family Photography

You want your kids to be treated with respect, and have their most authentic selves captured to celebrate their achievements. Graduating high school is a big deal and it can be intimidating for kids to do senior pictures. I create a fun and relaxed environment where they can be themselves and feel confident in who they are and how they look.

"She appreciates everyone for who they are and always makes everyone laugh."

"We ended up choosing Mary because of her beautiful photography style and her impeccable attention to detail. 3 years after our wedding, we wanted some family photos taken, Since then, she has done 5 photo sessions for us including family photos and maternity photos. Not only have all of the photos turned out stunning, but Mary is incredibly easy and fun to work with. She appreciates everyone for who they are and always makes everyone laugh. I highly recommend Mary for any photography needs you have because she is a wonderful person, very friendly and her turn around time for photos is very fast!"

"Our family photographer for life!"

"That Gay Photographer took amazing shots of our daughter for graduation pictures. They are fun to work with and will not shy away from any idea you are trying to get out of your photos. They are hardworking, dedicated and a great photographer in the community. They always show up prepared and ready to go. Thank you for being our family photographer for life!”

 Every story is unique and full of magic waiting to be captured. But, finding the right photographer to document your milestones shouldn’t be a hassle or a leap of faith, especially in an industry that doesn’t always celebrate the beautiful spectrum of love and identity.

My approach goes beyond just snapping photos. It’s about understanding your narrative, being a part of your journey, and creating a comfortable space where you can truly be yourself. I get it – the importance of representation and the longing to see yourself reflected in every frame. With me, you’re not just getting a photographer; you’re gaining a friend who’s wildly enthusiastic about celebrating your milestones just as much as you are.


Your friendly neighborhood queer photographer and raging nerd!
