EFFORTLESSLY (un) POSED FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Family Photographer Philadelphia + Main Line
Playful and candid lifestyle family photography in Philadelphia, the Main Line, Chester County, PA and beyond since 2008.
I capture your family by paying attention to the in-between moments that often go unnoticed.
Photographs rooted in presence, not perfection.
Honest photographs to help us remember.
As a mother of three and a Philadelphia 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.

“SHE WAS SO KIND AND PATIENT. HER CHILL DEMEANOR was CONTAGIOUS!”
Her calm kept us calm while shooting with two wild toddlers who just want to do their own thing. Her work is stunning, and we can’t recommend her enough!

MOTHERHOOD
DESERVES more than A SELFIE.
We mothers are so busy doing all the things for our families, and yet we’re often the ones missing from the photographic memories.
My hope is that these images will bring you back to this season of life and remind you how deeply present you were for your family- even on the messy, loud and imperfect days.
During your Philadelphia family photo session, my goal is to preserve something honest you can return to—especially on the days when motherhood felt heavy or unseen.
These images are for the version of you that comes later.
Ways We Can Work Together
“THE PHOTOS WERE EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED - BRIGHT, CANDID, and UNFUSSY.”
As someone who does not consider myself to be photogenic and does not do many professional pictures, AnneMarie is a whiz at coaching poses and has an eye for detail to make sure the scene is absolutely picture perfect.
— Sarah P.
Playfully (un)posed family photography for easy-going Philly area families who value connection over perfection.
I believe the best family photographs feel lived-in – comfortable and familiar, like slipping into a favorite pair of jeans. Images rooted in connection rather than trends, and meant to be returned to for years to come.
My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and guided—so your family can settle in, be yourselves, and walk away with a gallery full of images that feel deeply meaningful.
I care more about how your family feels than how perfectly they behave.
My APPROACH
The EXPERIENCE
A Tailored approach
I'm known for my attention to detail and service. My sessions feel warm and lighthearted, with wardrobe and location guidance to make things stress-free for busy families.
Expert (un)posing
You don’t need to perform for my photos. I know just how to guide you into those frame-worthy, authentic connections that make you forget you're having pictures taken (even for hesitant spouses).
Digitals + fine art keepsakes
For those who procrastinate printing their photos like I do putting away the laundry, my complimentary keepsake design makes heirloom prints simple to enjoy, while still having those digitals we all want for our online memories.
