We had such a lovely experience with Ann Marie. She photographed a newborn session for our 2 week old baby. She was so gentle with our baby and was also SO great with our hyperactive dog as well. My husband and I had such a calming experience and the photos turned out incredible. Would recommend for any family sessions, but especially for newborns!

Ann Marie has been amazingly generous with my unique situation. I am a single father going through surrogacy and wanted my child to be to look back on artful images of the beautiful woman/blessing that came into my life and gave him life. I couldn’t be more grateful for my chance at a family and I am forever…

Ann Marie absolutely knocked our maternity and newborn pictures out of the park. Our children are on the more feral side (especially our 3 yr old) and she was still able to capture the *best* family pictures we’ve ever had taken. She’s so kind and patient with all of us, but she worked so well with our kids. I can’t recommend AMG photography enough. You will not be disappointed and the gowns make you feel like a princess. We will most certainly use Ann Marie again in the future.

Our family recently had the opportunity to work with AMG photography to update family photos. From the moment we arrived on site, Ann Marie greeted us with a huge smile and made sure we were ready with everything we needed! She provided us with coordinating outfits which not only took away the guesswork for our family but created a complimentary color palette that photographed beautifully. During our photo session, Ann Marie did a wonderful job at helping guide our poses but also allowing the shots to be organic, fun and effortless. Ann Marie is absolutely fantastic with children; she kept our young daughter engaged the entire time and was incredibly patient. She truly made the photo session such an enjoyable experience for all of us. We recently received our final photos and can say with confidence they are the most stunning family photos we own to date. Ann Marie has a talent for capturing raw emotion within every shot allowing her photography skills to extend beyond just typical family photos. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking memorable, heirloom quality family photos!

Wishing you love and blessings!

Ann Marie is truly the best! We’ve worked with her twice for newborn photo sessions and each time has been wonderful. I love that she provides outfit options for mom and baby (who has time for these details with a newborn?), and she has such a calm, comforting demeanor that I really appreciated as a nervous first and second time mama. She even graciously allowed us to reschedule last minute when my 20 month old was having a really tough morning (and so was I), and had the sweetest words of encouragement for me in those very tough moments. What a blessing! Ann Marie’s talent and professionalism shine through her entire process and I would absolutely recommend trusting her with capturing your most precious moments.

Ann Marie is not only an amazing person to work with, but her work is also breathtakingly beautiful. She has an inimitable way of capturing the most magical, timeless moments. From a logistics standpoint, she was incredibly thoughtful and responsive to all of our questions throughout the process. What truly set her apart was how she connected with my oldest child, as well as her patience and magic touch when working with our newborn (we couldn't have asked for a smoother and more seamless session). Photos in general are usually a challenge for us, but my oldest loved going to see Ann Marie for our maternity and newborn photos. We are so grateful for these memories!

We loved working with Ann to capture the first week of our baby boy’s life. The space was serene and beautiful. Ann made us feel at home and it was a supportive space to care for our newborn. Ann’s photographs were beautiful and perfectly captured the moment. Ordering prints and a book was easy on her website. The delivery was fast and we love the final product! I am so glad we booked with Ann! I would recommend her and her work to anyone.
