Maria did an incredible job for our first family pictures! She did what I asked (to keep it natural and bright) and exceeded my expectations. She also knew exactly how to keep our 6 month engaged and smiling throughout the whole shoot. My husband and I don't always do well in front of a camera but Maria made us feel comfortable and natural!

Ann Arbor couples & engagement photography FAQ

Where are good spots for couples and engagement photos in Ann Arbor?+

For Ann Arbor couples and engagement sessions I love Nichols Arboretum (the Arb), Matthaei Botanical Gardens and The Gallup Park riverside at golden hour. If there's a place that's part of your story, that always makes the most meaningful backdrop.

What should we expect at a Ann Arbor couples session?+

Expect it to feel like a relaxed date. I use gentle prompts rather than stiff poses, so the two of you can laugh, walk, and just be together while I capture the genuine, in-between moments.

Are these sessions good for engagement announcements?+

Absolutely — Ann Arbor couples sessions are perfect for engagement announcements and save-the-dates. We'll time things for that warm golden-hour glow so you have a variety of images to share.
