Such a kind person with lots of patience and attention to details! We used her for our wedding and later for our baby shower. Would highly recommend Maria!

Favorite family photo spots in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor family photography FAQ

Where are the best spots for family photos in Ann Arbor?+

Some of my favorite Ann Arbor family spots are Gallup Park, Nichols Arboretum and Downtown Ann Arbor — places with room for kids to roam so the photos feel like a real afternoon out. If your family has a meaningful spot in Ann Arbor, we can absolutely shoot there too.

What should we wear for a family session in Ann Arbor?+

I send every family a styling guide, but the short version: coordinate rather than match, pick two or three complementary colors, and dress for the season. Comfortable kids make for the happiest photos.

How do family sessions with young kids work?+

We keep things moving — walking, playing, and following the kids' lead instead of forcing stiff poses. It's a relaxed, fun experience built around genuine connection, and I have plenty of tricks for coaxing out real smiles.
