How It Works
What People Are Saying about their Family Photos
“Maureen is truly a great photographer. She asks for a lot of information up front, but it makes the photo shoot so much more relaxed. Your family can hang out together, and Maureen captures the moments that you specified up front, and so much more. You walk away with pictures you will treasure always.”
— Ann E.
“I can't say enough great things about Maureen! Her relaxed and playful style put our whole family at ease. I was most impressed with how tuned in she was - joking around with the kids, chatting with us, and taking photos that were perfectly timed to capture our true personalities. Nothing about it felt forced or uncomfortable, and even with some family members being less than enthused about going to a photo session, we found ourselves having lots of fun.”
— Cory T.
“I was nervous that my kids would be tough to work with, but Maureen took charge, put me at ease, and got them to smile in such a natural way (at the same time!). This is usually impossible to do! She picked a great location and had lots of ideas for us, and then helped us choose and order prints. Totally recommend Maureen!”
— Shailagh C.
