I’ve known you since before motherhood, but something about this past year… your light didn’t just stay—it expanded. It got louder, freer, more joyful.
You don’t just love being a mom, you have fun with it you bring sunshine into it. And it shows in everything. It’s contagious in the best way. The kind that makes other moms (hi, me) feel lighter, inspired, and a little more playful too.
So happy for you, your beautiful family, and this season you’re in.
And happiest birthday to your boys 🤍
I love getting creative with location to maternity photos. Whether that’s in home or a special place the both of you share. This location tells a story of its own and fit their styles perfectly.
This shoot really comes to my mind often. It’s one of my favorites and even years later, it’s still timeless.
Quiet moments. Big views. A wedding day that feels like you.
This was from a styled shoot in the mountains almost 4 years ago. One thing is for sure the mountains change you. I will never forget seeing this view for the first time.
a mix of medium format and digital.
Love and connection always seem to be the quiet thread weaving through their sessions.
Finding the perfect location to match the classic styling was a challenge, but this hidden summer camp tucked in a small park ended up being the perfect backdrop—warm, simple, and full of that nostalgic charm I love.
What made it truly special was seeing so many talented vendors come together with such heart. Each person brought their own craft, their own vision, and it all came together so seamlessly. It’s incredibly inspiring to witness the kind of creativity and teamwork that exists across our city and the Midwest—especially when it’s rooted in serving clients with so much intention and care. We’re lucky to have such a thoughtful, client-focused community. I’m just so grateful to have been part of it.

Before she ever picked up a camera, Mary Novak was guiding young minds as an elementary teacher. But when photography entered her world, it lit a fire in her that’s never gone out.
Now the owner of Film Haus Studio and Prairie & Wild, Mary has built her creative career around celebrating life’s most meaningful milestones. Whether it’s a wedding day, a family session, or a quiet moment full of unspoken emotion—Mary shows up with intention, warmth, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen and celebrated.
At the core of her work is a deep commitment to genuine connection. She doesn’t just take photos—she forms real relationships. That same spirit is reflected in her love for the Sioux Falls creative scene, where she continues to be inspired by the artistry and collaboration of her peers.
Mary has been nominated by multiple members of the community, and it’s no surprise why. Her heart for people shines through in everything she does—and Sioux Falls is better because of it.
Thank you, Mary, for using your lens to reflect the beauty of others—and for showing us what it means to lead with humility, care, and creativity.
