“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!”
Family photography in Birmingham
One Birmingham family session can span polished downtown blocks and the quiet shoreline of Quarton Lake. We'll mix a touch of that put-together look with plenty of unscripted, tree-shaded play at Shain Park.

Birmingham family photography FAQ
Where are the best spots for family photos in Birmingham?+
Some of my favorite Birmingham family spots are Shain Park, Booth Park and Downtown Birmingham — places with room for kids to roam so the photos feel like a real afternoon out. If your family has a meaningful spot in Birmingham, we can absolutely shoot there too.
What should we wear for a family session in Birmingham?+
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.
