About Me...
If you’re looking for a traditional portrait photographer in Maryland, DC, or Northern Virginia, then you've come to the right place!
Hi! My name is Mary Castellano.
Portrait photography is a creative passion I discovered in college. I began by taking senior photos for my friends. Then I quickly branched out to secret proposals, engaged couples, maternity, newborns, family Christmas cards, and more! Fun fact: I was the first photographer of John Paul Jones - my college friend who was a contestant on the 15th Season of ABC’s The Bachelorette!
My Philosophy: I believe the more comfortable the client feels during the session, the more confident they are on camera. I elicit the preferences of each client before and during the photo session. I believe the client's authentic personality should shine through every image. Whether by themselves or surrounded by family, allowing clients to laugh and have a good time is a staple of the Castellano Photography experience.

During the week, I work full-time as the Director of Social Media for Nativity Catholic Church in Burke, Virginia.
