About

Hello

I'm Ana, a portrait photographer in the heart of silicon valley.

Nature photography holds a special place in my heart, as it continually surprises and enchants me. Whether I'm venturing into lush forests, exploring golden sunsets by the ocean, or capturing the delicate beauty of blooming flowers, I am forever in awe of the wonders that nature provides. However, I am versatile and adore working with families, couples, graduate students, and content creators alike, embracing the diversity of each unique session.
‍
In every moment, big or small, I strive to find and preserve the beauty that surrounds us. Life's smallest joys and pleasures, like delicate brushstrokes on paper, hold immeasurable value.

Before the session

Prior to our session, open communication is key. I encourage you to share examples of poses and styles that resonate with you, allowing us to tailor the shoot to your unique vision. By understanding your preferences and expectations, we can ensure that the session is personalized and meets your needs. We will discuss the duration of the session, the number of images you can expect, and any specific poses or styles you favor, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.

During the session

When we begin the session, my primary focus is to create a comfortable and relaxed environment. I start with a series of test photos, using this opportunity to adjust angles and settings while you get accustomed to the camera. This approach helps alleviate any initial nerves and allows you to feel more at ease. Throughout the session, I will guide you with gentle direction, while also encouraging spontaneity and capturing candid moments that reflect your true personality. My aim is to create a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere where you can be yourself, resulting in authentic and heartfelt photographs.

After the session

Once the session is complete, my work continues as I meticulously curate the best images that tell a story. I carefully select and edit the photos to ensure they are sharp, vibrant, and beautifully composed. Your happiness and satisfaction are paramount to me, and I take great care in delivering a final product that exceeds your expectations. I want you to experience the joy and fulfillment of seeing your cherished moments come to life through the photographs. It is my commitment to provide you with a seamless and delightful experience from start to finish.
