Testimonials
Hollywood Roses (GNR Tribute Band) ~ I have worked with many photographers over the past 14 years, not only did Mary have incredible creative ideas for our band's photo shoot, she went above and beyond the call of duty to not only come up with a perfect spot for the photos, but also found a way to overcome weather, heat, lighting and truly put together a phenomenal batch of photos that went far beyond what my expectations could have been. She made everyone feel comfortable during the shoot, found the perfect spot in an area you would never have thought there could be a photo shoot. She definitely has an incredible eye and unbelievable talent! ~ Erica Koltonow LewisMMA Legacy ~ Director James Hergott ~ Mary L. Carter is a very gifted talent who has an eye for the moment and brings out the best from her subjects. ~ James Hergott
Wife of an Emmy and Oscar award winning sound editor: When I showed my headshot to a casting producer whom I really trust, she said, "This is one of the best headshots I've ever seen". Since impressing the casting community is the first step to a career in the industry, I'd say you can't get much better than a response like that. And you can't go wrong with Mary's work. ~ Nancy Minkler
One picture they say is worth a 1,000 words. So check out the pics she took of me during a spoken word performance ~ I think it truly catches what I was feeling at the time. Good Luck Mary. Peace. ~ TianaMarie
Mary has time and again proven herself both on & in the field. Able to coax & capture all the frantic, frenzied, manic bliss of life... Why would you give a part of your soul to anyone else? ~ the KILN
Mary Carter is a dynamic photographer with an artistic flare. Every time I work with her, Mary tends to bring the best out of me. Whether it be by her direction or her intimidating eyebrow lift, working with her is productive and such a pleasure. ~ Temphest Blue
Mary knows how to capture more than just a picture. Being able to connect with each person to show their true side mixed with Mary's creativity brings each photo to a level of art that needs no explanation. She is and has been the only person I feel most comfortable and secure with to truly capture me. ~ Charity
I live and work in Hollywood as an actor and DJ, I can honestly say that the pictures I took with Ms. Carter have earned me thousands of dollars! She is professional and REAL and a very giving person in her art form. Our session was quick and effective and a joy for me. I used her photo as my main headshot and have secured work with CSI: NY, NCIS, and the new Night Rider series after our shoot. Give to Mary and she will give back! It is hard to put into words how effective she is in executing a photo session that truly serves her clients... Worth every minute and dollar! I love you Mary - may all your dreams come true :-) ~ DJ BenThere - get "TRUNK MUZIK" by ZONE
You allow for the subject matter's own personality to shine through with a style that is the marriage of pop culture, pin up art and photo journalism creating visual poetry. ~ Miss Ivonne!!!

Mary L. Carter captures her subjects with a sharpness and a clarity that encapsulates the brilliance of crystal and the crispness of clear. Mary works "elbows-deep," never afraid to get a little dirty (or put herself into pain, as when she had both her knees in casts) to get the perfect angle, which inevitably leads to the perfect shot. Not merely a photographer, but an artist, Mary L. Carter works magic with her lenses; whether you are in need of head-shots or your next event documented, Mary L. Carter is the charismatic, put-you-at-ease photographer you want behind the view-finder. ~ Bibulous Bargains
