Eastern Shore Photographer | Elk Neck State Park

Hi, I'm AnneMarie! I'm a lifestyle and family photographer serving Wilmington, Newark, Hockessin, and the Delaware beaches.

Are you looking for a family photographer near the Eastern Shore in Maryland?

One wonderful aspect of living in Delaware is how quickly we can explore the Eastern Shore, Maryland. It is such a beautiful region near the Chesapeake Bay. I’ve been dreaming of spring motherhood portrait sessions, and this sweet hour with Corinne and her two children on the little beach at Elk Neck State Park in North East, Maryland gave me life after the quiet and cold of winter.

I wanted to share a full session slideshow here so clients can get a sense of what I produce after an hour together, and what will pop in your inbox a few weeks after our session when the photos are edited and ready to be shared!

I love photographing children in natural outdoor settings, if we are not photographing them in their own homes or yards. Almost every child relaxes when presented with a wide open space to explore, water to dip their toes into after a long winter, collecting treasures like stones and shells and walking sticks. The portrait session does not feel like work, it is not forced. The children are at play, happy to be discovering something new in nature, and they naturally present the most beautiful opportunities for organic, natural portraits.

I will prepare a slideshow of the images I’ve created for you, and email it off for you to watch when you have time to sit together as a family and enjoy. After viewing the slideshow, you will choose a digital/print collection to purchase. I am available during this time to help you select fine art prints and albums from my print shop, and we get everything ordered within just a few days so you can enjoy the images as true pieces of artwork in your home.Delaware Family Photographer-69.jpgDelaware Family Photographer-72.jpgNewborn Photographer in DelawareDelaware Family Photographer-74.jpgFamily Photographer in DelawareNewborn Photographer in DelawareIf you are in the Delaware, Maryland, or Pennsylvania regions and would love to have your family photographed in a natural way, please reach out to me to get a session on my calendar during these warm months that are upon us.

Honest photographs to help us remember.

As a mother of three and a Delaware family photographer for nearly two decades, I know how quickly these seasons pass—and how much effort it can feel like to even attempt family photos.

My sessions are guided with intention and designed for real families: kids who move, parents who worry, and moments that don’t need to be fully controlled to be meaningful. I focus on presence over perfection, creating images that reflect how your family actually shows up in this season—energy, noise, and all.
