RICHMOND, Va. - Aug. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Mary Fisk-Taylor has been a member of the Professional Photographers of America since 1999. Along with her business partner, Jamie Hayes, they operate a high-end wedding and portrait business in Richmond, Virginia. Hayes & Fisk the Art of Photography is a home-based studio located on almost one acre of beautiful gardens and they have successfully created one of the most sought after Portrait and Wedding studios in their area.

Mary was very pleased and honored to have received her Master of Photography, Craftsmen of Photography and Certification of Professional Photography in just three short years!!! This was quite an accomplishment for her both personally and professionally. Mary was named Photographer of the Year in 2007 and has won Best Wedding Album of the Year in Virginia several times. Nationally she has had her albums in the top five. She has won numerous Best in Show awards, Kodak Gallery Awards, Fuji Masterpiece Awards, Loan Collection prints and albums. Mary is also a recipient of the prestigious Virginia Award, which honors photographers for their commitment and dedication to their state association, and the business of professional portrait photography (http://hayesandfisk.com/).

Mary met Jamie in 1993 when he photographed her bridal portraits (http://hayesandfisk.com/wedding/bridal-portraits/), soon he found himself photographing her beautiful daughter. In 1996 they began working together and became business partners in 1997. For many years Mary concentrated on defining and organizing the business. After three years they were grossing well over one half of a million dollars and soon realized that was just the beginning. In 1999 Mary decided that she too could be a photographer and the rest is history. She worked very hard to develop a more high-fashion and documentary style that was both independent yet complimentary of her partner's beautiful work. Together they have become one of the top photography teams in the country.

Mary's pursuit for knowledge, learning and education has always been a priority. From the time she was nominated the "Kindergarten Valedictorian" she has excelled academically. Always at the top of her class through High School, College and Graduate School she has excelled and loved learning. It was only natural for her to pursue educating others as part of her career. Mary joined the PPA Business Instructor program back in 1999 when it began. She has enjoyed lecturing all over the country and sharing with other photographers.

Mary is of course most proud of her two beautiful children, Alexandra and Jackson. Her husband, Daryl, and she enjoy the flexibility and joy that owning a profitable photography studio has allowed their family. Mary is also the Fundraising Chairman for her children's private school, served on the PPA Wedding Committee, the Executive Committee for Burrell's Presidential Circle and is the President of the PPA Board of Charities. In 2006 Mary was named one of Virginia's Top 40 under 40 for her leadership in the community, volunteer and charity work and her business savvy.
