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 Detroit

Detroit family photography FAQ

Where are the best spots for family photos in Detroit?+

Some of my favorite Detroit family spots are Belle Isle Park, The Detroit Riverwalk and Eastern Market's colorful sheds — places with room for kids to roam so the photos feel like a real afternoon out. If your family has a meaningful spot in Detroit, we can absolutely shoot there too.

What should we wear for a family session in Detroit?+

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.
