- I help you figure out how to tell your story through the medium of photography.
Welcome to Carroll Photos
Hi, I am Mary Claire Carroll of Carroll Photos, a portrait studio located in Richmond, a beautiful Vermont village just southeast of Burlington.
Within my studio, at your business, your family home, or at some lovely Vermont location, I work with you to create portraits that help tell your story. I love photographing people, and I have a gift of putting people at ease in front of the camera. I think my approach fosters confidence and is energizing, both key factors in developing strong, dynamic photographs.
If it is time for a new portrait, I would love to work with you. Please contact me.
Best,
Specialties
Portraits of you and your staff, that celebrate and advance your mission.
Cherished individual, family, and high school senior portraits that capture the subject’s spirit and energy.
Images of Vermont’s landscapes and communities that can be used to enhance your home or office. I also have notecards with Vermont scenes that were created to revive the art of writing notes to clients and friends, and share a bit of Vermont’s beauty while doing so.
Testimonials
"It was my first time having a professional portrait done for business, and it was SO worth it! Mary Claire made it fun and stress-free, and the results are excellent! Thanks Mary Claire!"

"Mary Claire is the only photographer who can make me relax and look natural in front of the camera. Not only that... she makes me look good."
Kathy Holmes
"One of my favorite aspects of the portrait session was how much she kept me laughing. I didn't feel as though I had to force a smile (and when I was getting smile fatigue she could tell immediately.) We went through such a variety of shots, posing with my easel or desk, that I ended up with a really nice range to choose from, from glamour shot to working shot. I especially appreciated her attention to detail in fine-tuning and selecting only the most flattering images. As someone who doesn't generally enjoy portraits of herself, these are refreshing to own. I definitely recommend taking control of your own image and Mary Claire will be a wonderful partner in that pursuit."

"Mary Claire was extremely tuned in to the essence of my natural health practice and helped us to capture what we do on film. She helped my staff feel comfortable in front of the camera and brought out the joy and ease we mean to bring to our environment. Thanks Mary Claire for helping us beautify our space and tell our story!"

I’m definitely more comfortable behind a camera than in front of it, and was amazed at how quickly you created an atmosphere of joy, self-acceptance and celebration. I was having a ball! Your photographic talents plus compassion and insights are a truly unique mix and very much appreciated, thank you!
