Portraits by Mary Ann Bessler :: Photography for Babies, Children & Families
 
about

My style of photography may be different than what you have experienced in the past. We will work together as a team to produce the best portraits possible.  During our consultation we will decide where and when your child will be most comfortable, whether that is inside your house in a familiar room, or in a beautiful outdoor setting.

In addition to traditional family portraiture, I also enjoy capturing your family's special events and moments such as parties, anniversaries, and the meaningful milestones that we all reach in our lives. I can even create specialty items such as custom cards, collages or birth announcements.

With my friendly and positive approach, I try to maintain a sense of fun during our session. As the mother of young children myself, I understand the concerns of both parents and young ones, when it comes to photography.

I hope you and your child will enjoy our time together - and that you will be pleased with the results, and love your photos. Our children don't stay young forever, and it is my pleasure to help you capture this delightful and engaging period of their lives.

Please review the info page, where I have tried to answer some of the more commonly asked questions about your photo session.

I am happy to discuss with you any other concerns you may have. Feel free to contact me for more information.

I am proud to be a member of the Professional Photographers of America, the world's largest not-for-profit association for professional photographers. Founded in 1880, The PPA helps its members advance their careers by increasing the members’ business acumen as well as broadening their creative range.

I have also earned accreditation from Special Kids Photography of America.  SKPA trains professional photographers to work with special needs children. I enjoy working with families to create beautiful, sensitive images that capture the joy in their children's lives.
