An amazing experience! Ana was great to work with as she was very easygoing. She listened to what you wanted but was also very helpful in helping you create the perfect vision. She was great at directing on how to pose and was always thinking outside of the box. She was very prepared and was always quick on her feet when something wasn’t working as planned. Would 10/10 work with Ana again!

It was such a pleasure to work with Ana! She took the time to get to know me and my family before our session, and went above and beyond to help us all feel at ease during our time with her. Ana listened to what I wanted out of our pictures, and made it all happen with kindness, patience, and an eye for detail. Thank you, Ana!

Sessions

Before the session, we communicate openly to understand your vision, preferences, and expectations. During the session, I create a relaxed environment, guiding you with gentle direction while capturing candid moments. After the session, I meticulously curate and edit the best images, ensuring they reflect your unique story. From start to finish, I strive to provide a personalized, comfortable, and rewarding photography experience.
