Family Portraits are more than just quick snapshots on your Iphone. These are chapters in your family’s story. Creating timeless portraits means preserving the love you share right now and passing them down for generations.

I’m John Armato, my mission here is simple, I want to create the best photos you’ve ever had in an anxiety free way. I coach every client on pose and expression so you can relax and, dare I say, have FUN.

I want to create artwork that you can be proud to hang on your walls or share in folio boxes or albums.

Based in Clarksburg, I proudly serve families in surrounding communities including Germantown, Boyds, Damascus, and Montgomery County. Whether you're nearby or in the neighboring towns, I’m here to capture your family's special moments."

How Does It Work?

We’ll start with a short phone chat.

We’ll discuss your vision for your portraits and for displaying your finished prints so I know exactly how to direct your session.

Then enjoy a comfortable session.

My style is very relaxed and I keep the sessions light and fun. My focus is on creating simple, meaningful images that show the connection between your family members. No awkward or stiff poses here!

Order your beautiful artwork.

I’ll meet up with you so you can view your images and decide what you’d like to order! I’ll help you choose those must-have portraits and design stunning art for your coffee table or your wall. 

Enjoy!

Sit back and relax for a couple weeks, and your custom artwork will be ready to display and enjoy!

Kind Words

  • Family posing under a wooden gazebo in a garden, with parents holding two children, surrounded by greenery and flowers.

    We have been long time fans of Armato Photography. They captured beautiful moments from our engagement, wedding, and showers so of course we asked them to take our first family photos. They were so patient working with us and our little ones and made it fun for everyone. Highly recommend!

  • Black and white photo of a smiling family, with a man, woman, and child standing outside in front of a barn door.

    We did a family photo shoot with Armato Photography and we highly recommend them. They were professional and were also absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son. The product was well done and we are very pleased with the overall experience and quality.

  • Family portrait of six young adults posing on rocks in a park with trees and a stone lantern in the background.

    John and his wife are an amazing duo. They search out the perfect locations and take time to make sure that everyone is captured appropriately. It's the perfect mix between well orchestrated and impromptu.
