I’M ANNEMARIE

Besides mothering my own crew, my greatest passion is traveling throughout the Mid-Atlantic to create connected family photographs- just for you.

MY PERSUIT of FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IS ROOTED in my OWN DESIRE to COMMIT EVERYDAY MOMENTS to ETERNITY.

When I was a newborn, my father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I watched my mother care for him for thirty years, and I never truly got to know my dad before he passed—just after I became a mother myself.

Growing up alongside illness shaped the way I understand time, presence, and memory. It taught me how much of life happens quietly, and how easily entire chapters can slip by unrecorded.

That perspective is woven into the way I photograph families. I’m drawn to what’s real and unfolding—not perfect moments, but meaningful ones. The kind you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’ve already passed.

Dreamy light, movement, and human connection define my work.

Today, I’m raising three children with my college sweetheart, watching them grow far faster than I’m ready for, alongside two very enthusiastic mini goldendoodles. Between growing up in a big Italian family in Rochester, NY, teaching Spanish, traveling often, and moving more times than I can count, I’ve learned how quickly places, people, and seasons change.

Photography is how I slow it down—just enough to remember what mattered.

I can't praise her enough for her professionalism. Her ability to help coordinate outfit style choices, location scouting, and just her overall ability to go above and beyond for us, made for such a satisfying experience! Families, run don't walk! AnneMarie and her work are little snippets of gold!
