Plocki Photography
Merry J. Plocki Photographer
Merry and Leif


I have always loved nature and discovered photography is my way to share how I feel about the world around and within us. Born and raised in Michigan, from and early age was brought up to appreciate and respect people and the outdoors. I moved to the Washington, DC area to pursue a career in finance and an MBA while continuing to explore and make photos whenever I could.
Photography is now my full-time avocation and vocation. I live with my husband, two children and my Danish Swedish Farmdog, Leif. Now residing in Colorado, I find myself back in Maryland often.
In 2017 I completed a lifelong and transformative dream and hiked the length of the Appalachian Trail with Leif joining me for the entire trip. In 2019 my teenage daughter and I traversed the Camino Francis. People walk for all manner of reasons. In listening to why people walk I fell in love with the concept of helping others discover and share their stories through photography. Whether your story is a walk in the wild, a change in life circumstances, a personal belief, or finding the spirit of a home, building or yourself, I can help you to see, build and share your story.
