Local Photographer donates time, talent toward others.


Mary Buck ,owner of Lightscapes Photographic Artwork, has founded a charity to help families who have been displaced or are in temporary housing.

Mary has been a Professional Photographer in Duluth since 1995. She began “In Your Heart Portraits” in May of 2009 as a way of giving back to the community by sharing her time and talent.

She has teamed up with several non-profit agencies in Gwinnett County including Rainbow Village and Nspire as well as in Atlanta and is providing free family portraits for families who have lost their homes.

She originally came up with the idea when she saw a news segment on national television about a young woman in New York, Dana Camp, who was photographing homeless families for free. She was so inspired by this story, that she wanted to provide a similar service in her area of Atlanta, especially in Gwinnett County.

When people thank Mary for her hard work she replies “This is work? When I see the joy it brings to the families I have as much fun as they do.” “I am truly rewarded by being able to share my god-given talents to those who are less fortunate.”

Mary is available for family portraits for displaced families and is currently working through non-profit organizations or homeless shelters. You can contact her at
770 623-1040.
