"After 11 years photographing Headshots and Model portfolio's in New York City, my fabulous clients gave me the name 
Mary Queen of Headshots. 
I laughed and ignored it for a while, and then I decided to have some fun with my business name and went for it.  I worked full-time, professionally for 12 years acting and modeling in New York City and I will tell you there is NO attitude in my studio. Just good laughs, beautiful photographs and yummy coffee."   - Mary
