About Mary Claire
|  |
Twenty- five years ago, I started Carroll Photos in Richmond where I live with my family. My specialty is portraiture and commercial photography. I love collaborating with my subjects on the creation of a memorable image; whether it is several generations of a family, a business executive, or working with an entrepreneur to best photograph their new product.
I am a strong portrait photographer with the ability to quickly connect with people and put them at ease in front of the camera. A portrait sitting with me is a positive and fun experience. Making a great portrait is a team effort, and I love working with people to make a photo that captures the energy and beauty of the subject. I know how to make people comfortable in front of the camera and therefore produce a strong and dynamic portrait.
I have a small studio in Richmond and can do a session there or at your home or business. My commercial work focuses on helping businesses promote their product or their service. Over the years I photographed people and buildings for annual reports, brochures, and web promotion. I have worked for non-profits and helped them create promotional pieces that support their mission.
Need a portrait for you, your family, or your graduating senior? I offer families and seniors an opportunity to hold the photo session at their homes or at a favorite location. Alternatively, they may choose to come to my studio. My portrait work has enabled me to meet and work with families and individuals from all over the state and beyond its borders. The results of our collaborations become cherished family keepsakes.
I also do editorial portraiture. Besides magazine and newspaper work I have completed and taken on tour a personal project which focuses on black and white environmental portraits of Vermont women and their work. The resulting exhibit, Women Helping Women, is available for galleries around the state. The project was a way for me to honor the women in our state who work to improve the lives of all Vermonters.
I look forward to hearing from you and talking to you about my passion, photography. You may call me at 802-434-2312 or e-mail me using the Contact Page.
My little secret is that I am uncomfortable having my photo taken. My favorite photo was taken by then three year old Ethan,with assistance from his Mom,Liz Greenberg. I agreed to pose in exchange for Ethan agreeing to pose for the next shot. The things photographers have to do sometimes. I did enjoy playing croquet with him though.
The Round Church image you see here has special significance. It is a wonderful 16-sided church, that was built in 1812 as a community-meeting house.
I have been taking pictures of the Church since I moved to Richmond. This particular image has appeared in Vermont Life Magazine and Calendar, greeting cards and postcards. Enlargements of this image hang on countless walls across the country. If you are interested in an enlargement, please call.
