TESTIMONIALS

"Anna takes gorgeous pictures, and could not have been more accommodating and generous with her time. As parents of a toddler, you never really know what's in the bag on the day of a family shoot. But with Anna's gentle guidance (and talent!), we are pleased to say that what would have been a failed few hours trying to wrangle a very unhappy toddler into a photo shoot, turned into a (now) photo album filled with brilliant memories we were not even expecting would be captured. After several years of trying out photography studios etc, we are stoked to have found someone we would like to grow with as our family photographer. So long as we're in the Bay Area, Anna is 100% our girl for family shoots." 

(Lisette S., San Francisco)

Memories as if we took them on a regular day...
Anna connected our (then baby) children in an instance and also became invisible in the background. I admire her skill of instructing without interfering, allowing the session to flow in its own way, and brilliantly adapting to the changing requirements of the scene. We always took walking/strolling shoots in nature with her, which captured our day-to-day family life. She has been not only taking photos of our close family, but also in one of our events with hundred guests. She managed the challenge even though the light, and the scene was quite difficult. We have received artworks capturing the loving dynamics and the personality of our family members and friends. Anna looks at you and the world with love and this is reflected in the composition of her photos.

(Kata S., Den Haag - The Netherlands)

"Anna is not only talented and passionate about her work but she is so patient, loving and creative.
She is the best at taking real life moments without demanding any effort from her client.
Since she is a mom of 2 she understands the dynamics of the family and how difficult it could get especially when taking family portraits or toddler pictures. She always delivers on time and is very responsive."

(Gaelle C., Foster City)

ABOUT

      Hi there! I’m Anna, a global citizen, a mom, a wife, a chartered accountant, a fine art enthusiast who loves to capture those moments in life that deserve to last forever. My true passion for taking pictures was ignited after a summer course at the New York Film Academy in 2012, where I mainly focused on street photography. Since then, I pursue photography as a second career, as well as working as a finance professional. I live in the beautiful hills of Lafayette, California, with my husband and two sons. I find my inspiration and joy comes mostly from simple things and the different ways I see them. I have always preferred visual representation of life around me, I find it easier expressing myself with these than with words. That’s why I love when a picture speaks for itself! If photography is a hobby of yours, it is incredibly tempting to photograph everything, at start that’s a good habit, as it will help you understand where your true passion lies. I now know that I have a natural love for minimalism, neutral palettes, details, black & white images, unposed and unplanned pictures where true emotions become visible. I strive for photographs that are simple, bright, lively and are shot from an unusual angle. From the feedback from my clients, I have witnessed how valuable a captured memory can be, and above all that is why I love photographing people!
