Meet the Draugalis'

Peter and Marian Draugalis have owned and operated Draugalis Photography since 1992. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Draugalis photography specializes in fine portraiture, including weddings, high school seniors, families, children and pets.

They started the photography business after many years in human services, where they worked extensively with families and children. With a BA & MA in Social Work and Sociology, Pete spent 25 years in juvenile justice. It was the Juvenile Court Administrators position that brought him to Ann Arbor in 1985. It was his love of photography and people that led to his second (and favorite) career. This passion shows through in all his portraiture.

Marian has an MA in communications and prior to joining Pete in their photography business, pursued her own artwork creating clay and fabric figures. A display of her work is part of the permanent art collection in the lobby of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Michigan Hospital. Marian's new art form is emerging through digital photography and fine art printing. You'll find touches of her artistic talent as you look around the studio.

In March 2003, they moved to their new spacious studio at 573 State Circle, just south of I-94 off State Street. Please feel free to visit and explore the gallery of photographs and album portfolio's.

With Pete's sense of humor and Marian's gentle way, your experience at Draugalis Photography will always be a pleasant one.
