Offering family and children photography in the greater Toledo, Ohio area. Sessions combine a mix of traditionally posed portraits and candid, playful family moments to create a balanced collection of images. I love capturing the natural smiles and authentic interactions of kids and parents enjoying time together.
Most family sessions are held outdoors around Toledo, where there are many beautiful parks and scenic spots — a list of recommended locations is available upon request. Studio sessions are also offered, with a variety of backdrops to suit different looks; if you prefer an airy, indoor loft atmosphere, we can rent a suitable space for your session.
During your session I will shoot a large selection of images to ensure we capture a range of expressions and poses. After the session you’ll receive a preview gallery featuring the top images, from which you’ll choose your favorites (the number of final images included depends on your selected package). If you’d like additional digital images you can purchase them individually at $20 per image or upgrade to the next package; there is also the option to buy the entire preview gallery, with pricing based on the total number of preview images.

“We had an ABSOLUTE ball taking photos with Ursula. She had so many ideas and adorable props to use. She was sweet and kind and captured exactly what I was looking for. Our wild one year old gave her a run for her money to get a smile or even look at the camera, but she is magic and we are so happy. Can't wait to book a fall session with her!” Shannon (as posted on Google)
“Our family had the pleasure of working with Ursula Durkalec for our first family photos. It was a daunting task with six young boys (four under the age of one), but Ursula did a great job of engaging the older ones and grabbing the attention of the others. She was able to capture everyone's personalities, while getting the images we were looking for. Her process from start to finish was very professional and timely. I would highly recommend Ursula and look forward to future photo shoots with her.” Laura, 5 star review on Google
Like“I was way behind on family photos this year. Ursula is so quick to respond, got us in quick, and even scouted out a location as I wanted outside pictures in November! They turned out beautifully! The kids also loved her treasure box for good behavior!” Heather, 5 star review on Google
“Ursula was wonderful to work with. She was so patient and kind with my kids. And despite the fact that it was blazing outside and we were sweating buckets, our pictures are charming and sweet! Really love the way she captured the personality and innocence of my little ones! We'll cherish them forever!” Calla, 5 star review on Google
“Ursula did a great job of engaging our shy son and capturing the personalities of our two kids. We love the smiles and moments she was able to catch, all in a beautiful setting with gorgeous natural light! Ursula is courteous, professional, knowledgable and lovely to work with.” ..

“Ursula did such a great job taking photos of my whole family. We were a big group with many kids, her patience was phenomenal. The location she chose for the shoots was exceptional too. Thanks Ursula” … Adwoa (as posted on Google, 5 star review)
With extended family photo sessions at times it might be difficult to get everyone looking at the camera, especially when you have lots of little one’s… no worries I am able to do ‘head-swaps’
