We had a great experience with Anna! Despite the cold and windy weather, she was incredibly helpful and patient, making sure we were comfortable throughout the entire session.

Anna made us feel at ease in front of the camera and provided great guidance while keeping everything natural. Our maternity photos turned out great and we can’t want to take our newborn photos with her! Highly recommend to all expecting mamas.

Testimonials
Intimate family portrait series showing tender moments between parents and child in soft, warm lighting.

Anna did a fantastic job with our newborn/family session. Her kindness and patience with our overstimulated toddler truly put us at ease. She not only captured our family beautifully but managed to do it while our toddler was having a difficult time. I could not recommend her enough. I will be using her again as our family matures and grows. Working with Anna was a great decision.

I did a mini-session with Anna and both the experience and the resulting photos were exceptional! During the session Anna gracefully balanced guiding us toward poses and letting us guide her. She was wonderful with my 3 & 5 year old and knew just what to say / do to keep them entertained yet on task! We will definitely be using her again.

Intentionally created authentic Moments

Let's talk about this term "Lifestyle" Photography.


Different than Portrait Photography it focuses often on certain movements or activities the photographer "prompts" the subjects to act out in order to create these really sweet and candid moments between them.


The word "Lifestyle" points right to the core of this type of photography - it's supposed to capture the LIFE of the clients. Meaning, when I get the pleasure of working with a family with young children, I aim to capture their current life with little kids - sweet, funny, gentle, crazy and wild emotions are most parent's reality in that stage of life.


So let's capture these REAL emotions and highlight them in order to create images which will preserve actual feelings for a lifetime!
