Testimonials


Journalism

"I loved your article and was delighted to see that it was so well received. It was complex, eloquent, and rich with layers and meaning.  You know your subject, you have the insight, and you are a fine writer." 

-Andrew Cooper, editor of Tricycle Magazine


"From the get-go, Mary exhibited a rare instinct.  Her talent lies in her unique way of seeing the world and her equally unique sense of storytelling." 

- Barry Conway, Journalism instructor, Concordia University. 

"The work you did was fantastic. I’m able to directly use a great deal of what you forwarded, with not much additional reading or research on my part. And a lot of what you sent puts numbers under what would otherwise just be my rhetoric, so thank you very much." - Timothy Taylor (for a research project)


Documentary Film 

"I can honestly say Ms. Fowles was was one of my favorite people to work with. She's insightful, dedicated, patient and extremely positive. Moreoever, she can write, a rare talent that is so important in making films. I relied on her enormously while she was working with us and she always came through with even more than I expected." 

- Abbey Neidik, DLI Productions. 


"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything that you've done to support the production.  I know that you have gone out of your way more than once in the past week and a half to support the team, and it's due in large part to your work that the shoot went so smoothly . Thank you again for everything." 

- Yun-Jou Chang, Cinevolution Media Arts Society 


"To me this film is a work of poetry." 

- Raffi Cavoukian, Canadian children's singer/lyricist about Taxi Casablanca


"The room was at full capacity and all eyes were glued to the gorgeous imagery.  The film operates cleverly leaving the viewer with an intimate appreciation of one woman's unique strength. It's a very unique film  in our repertoire, and we're happy to have it."

- Kathy Sperberg, Mass Media Initiative (MMI), Canadian International Development Agency about Taxi Casablanca


Photography

"Thank you for all your contributions to my dad’s celebration of life, your video and photos have made a huge impact on the experience for my family." 

- Jamie Turner


I LOVE them. I have tears in my eyes. It’s exactly what I wanted, I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’ve used many photographers in the past and I usually get maybe one or two photos that I like after an hour or two of shots ... I honestly like EVERY single photo.  I’ll be asking you for photos for the rest of our lives that’s for sure! 

- S. Rollins, Family Session


I had a very positive experience with Mary. She took a huge selection of photos and I saw an incredible side of myself in them. I highly recommend her for bringing out the best that each person has to offer.  Mary, you were such a lot of fun.  It meant so much to me to find that that smile in myself again." 

-Trina Ferguson, Writer



"I worked with Mary for headshots for my marketing platforms.  We had a two hour photo shoot downtown and she delivered beyond my expectations. She is super talented and is growing in stature day by day."

- Dibin Jacob, Founder & CEO  Enveetech Designers, Pro Headshot Session


My family booked a family portrait session with Mary. She is super patient and professional when working with my three kids. It is hard to get three boys (one is a toddler) to smile simultaneously but she managed to capture the perfect shot!
Thanks again for the wonderful experience Mary!

- Jessica Lowe, Family Session


Very professional and accommodating to schedules. Friendly service and quality results.

-D'Arcy Nolan, Professional Headshot Session 


We met up with Mary on a beautiful spring day while the cherry blossoms were still out. Mary was fantastic from the start, even with me not following directions to the proper parking/  meet up spot, getting there late, wardrobe changes in the parking lot, a hyper active kid. Mary took it all in stride, she was pleasant, professional and always had a smile for us.  I was impressed she was able to get my children to mostly listen and pose properly. Once I saw the photos, I was blown away, they are wonderful.

- Mary Ross, Family Session 


"Mary, these are FANTASTIC!!!  You are so very talented!"

- Kristin Mcilhenney,  Professional headshot Session


"Your beautiful photos display your eye for beauty and grace. I think your strength is in portraits - you excel at capturing your subjects' personality in a relaxed and natural pose and setting. I like your core values and principles and mission statement with a humanitarian angle. A very strong portfolio. I would recommend your services to anyone I know." 

- Kagan Goh, Filmmaker and Writer


"You've got a good eye and  a good dash of understanding and humanity, very good ingredients for true expression." 

-R.M., Artist


"Mary is very passionate about photography and she was called upon to photograph a large range of circumstances and subjects, both children (ages 4-17) and adults. These photos were used in the school's social media, website and newsletters. One photo was included in a sponsored article in the Globe and Mail."


- Director, Marketing and Communications, Crofton House School.
