Because you fell in love before they were born.
With almost two decades of experience as a Philadelphia maternity photographer, I've crafted a refined yet relaxed approach to guide your growing family into natural connections that photograph effortlessly, putting couples and older siblings at ease. From assistance with outfit styling to choosing the perfect Philadelphia location, I make this a simple, stress-free, and authentically enjoyable experience for expectant parents.
I'm AnneMarie
I create honest photographs to help us remember.
I blinked and my first baby boy is now taller than me. As a mother to three swiftly growing children, and a Philadelphia maternity photographer for over 17 years, I'm a witness to the truth that motherhood changes us, and life passes far too quickly.
I can only now appreciate those early stages of parenthood so much more and I long to see portraits of the younger version of myself as I awaited the birth of each of my babies. You won't regret maternity photos looking back on each pregnancy.
Motherhood deserves more than a selfie.
We are so busy doing all the things for our growing babies and families, and yet we're often left out of the photographic memories. This time of awaiting the birth of your new baby is such a precious time to remember and honor- after all it's that last little window of when it was just the two of you.
My images have the power to transport you back to this season of life years from now. I take the pictures you don't yet know you need, but you will treasure in just a short time when life with baby makes life before baby a total blur. A visual love-letter to you that grows in value as the years pass. We are going to bottle up lots of memories to get you through those full days of motherhood, promise.
What makes my work different
My packages are simply priced for transparency and ease. All digitals are included in your session fee so you don't have to choose between the many favorites. I love the freedom to create a wide variety of images knowing you will get to enjoy them all.
I adore working with clients over and over again. Not only does it make us more relaxed together every time we work together, I genuinely enjoy getting to know you and building relationships with my clients over the course of many years.
To that end, I offer discounts when booking both maternity and newborn sessions, or three sessions for the baby's first year package. Not only does this cross off a big decision from your to-do list, but you get priority bookings and save significant money on each session when booking more than one. Payments are always divided up to make it easy. And with each session, we have even more fun with each other.
01
I am known for my attention to detail and service. My maternity sessions feel like hanging out with an old friend, with wardrobe and location guidance to make this session feel like you.
02
You're looking for maternity photos that feel natural and you don't want to look awkward. I know just how to guide you into those frame-worthy, authentic connections.
03
My packages include all the digitals so you don't have to waste precious time choosing favorites. But I also offer complimentary keepsake design makes heirloom albums simple to enjoy, while still having those digitals we all want.

“She truly captures the essence of my family!"
AnneMarie is such an AMAZING photographer! She has photographed my family for the past several years, and I can positively say that she has provided us with some of our most beautiful, treasured portraits! She truly captures the essence of my family, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is wonderful with my children, which makes for even better portraits! In addition to her talent, AnneMarie is also a consummate professional. Her timely communication, seamless booking/ordering process, and warm personality makes working with her a wonderful experience. Opening a photo proofing gallery from AnneMarie is like waking up on Christmas morning! I would absolutely recommend her to any and everyone, and can't wait to work with her again!

“I cannot rave enough about AnneMarie's work!”
She is incredible at what she does and the results are amazing. She was able to capture the perfect balance of energy, fun, and sweetness of my boys. The session itself was casual, fun, and stress free. She made us all feel at ease and never felt like we were "messing up" the shots with their crazy, loud personalities. The photos are more than I could have asked for and I am so thrilled we did this on our Delaware beach vacation!

“AnneMarie is incredibly talented and has a gift for capturing authentic connection among families"
Where do I even begin? I just received our gallery and I am in tears at how beautifully AnneMarie captured my family. She captured the sweetness and silliness of my two children, with stunning light and framing. Every picture I look at is simply beautiful and perhaps I’m not surprised given the ease and comfort she gave us throughout our session and in planning for it. Beforehand, she guided me through selecting the right location, sent me the style guide and reviewed our choices. Then the day of, she guided us through the shoot, always taking care and patience with my two children. She made it easy for us to smile and laugh and made us comfortable to be our authentic selves so she could capture such stunning photographs. AnneMarie, I am floored and immensely happy. You’ve most definitely secured loyal clients and I would recommend you without reservation to anyone.

“You can tell she is very experienced in her craft."
AnneMarie was very responsive and was very accommodating of scheduling when I was unexpectedly hospitalized postpartum. She came to our house (I loved not having to schlep a newborn around!) and was a natural when it came to working and photographing baby.
The photos we received were everything we could have imagined in a style that we loved - 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. We were told that the return of our gallery may be delayed due to a very busy summer season (understandable) but we received them in less than a week.
We had a great experience and I highly recommend AnneMarie for your photography needs!
