You have already learned about my professional accomplishments on my home page. Since I started doing photography professionally in 2009, it's been quite a journey. I feel very fortunate to be doing what I love and to have come this far. After having photographed hundreds of babies, children, expecting mamas, and beautiful families, I still look forward to every session.
It is very important for me that you feel comfortable and at home in my studio, and I designed it to fulfill that purpose. I have everything here you might need including a cozy private room for you to relax in, feed your little one, or even catch a much-needed nap. There is a drawing table for your children, books, magazines, a TV, changing table, and of course coffee, drinks, snacks; and lots of beautiful props to design your session!
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. This is one of my all-time favorite quotes. First off I would like to congratulate you with this momentous decision and wish you a happy and healthy delivery! Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and emotional milestones of a woman's life. I would be honored to capture the special love you experience during this very delicate time and create beautiful artwork to always remind you of it.
Every child has a very unique character and they live in this amazing world with endless magic - where everything is possible, and all the little things are fun. I love that, and I love walking into that world with them - that is why I love photographing them. Bored and frustrated kids don't make good portraits, so I don't force them to follow my plan.
It's incredible how fast children grow. In a blink of an eye they will be all grown up and off to college or moved-out. A family portrait seems to be the only way to freeze time in this moment when everyone is together and your children are still children. For family photography experiences, both indoor and outdoor locations work well.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ani! I booked both a maternity and a newborn session with her. Both times I was made to feel incredibly comfortable and had a great time. The review process for the photos was just as fun! She took detailed notes for the edits and they turned out amazing! The prints and book I ordered are gorgeous. Can't thank or recommend her and her services more!

Ani was amazing, and I highly recommend her! We did newborn pictures with her when my baby was 6 days old, and Ani was so great with him. She was so patient and got him to calm down when he was being fussy. She took great care to make sure he was comfortable and did such a wonderful job with posing him to get the pictures that we wanted. I was nervous about the photo shoot beforehand since my baby was so young, but everything went well and I didn't need to worry at all. We also took family pictures, and at that point, I had nothing nice to wear that would fit me postpartum, but Ani told me

Let me first start off by saying you NEED to hire Ani. I found her randomly on Yelp and instantly fell in love with her work. You can tell Ani really cares about her clients and not about money. She takes her time to get to know her clients and isn’t pushy at all. Ani did my maternity and newborn shoot. I’m currently waiting to get my newborn photos. My maternity photos came out BEAUTIFUL!!!!! She captured exactly what I wanted. She really made my first pregnancy an amazing experience.
Her office space is beautiful and made us feel like home. She has so many options when it comes to set ups

Ani is a magician. I had my 10 month old in for a session. The baby peed and cried the whole time. I was certain Ani didn’t get any good pictures, how could she? Baby wouldn’t stop crying. Ani was patient the whole time and really sweet. I was totally shocked at all the adorable pictures she managed to get!! There were so many it took me over 3 hours to narrow down to 20 something. Ani is an artist. Her attention to detail is insane! Book her, but not until after I get my next session booked! She is in high demand. Worth every penny!!

I had trouble finding a photographer for my maternity photos until I saw Ani’s gallery. The first time I saw her pictures I decided to photoshoot with her because her work is a match of what I was looking for. The style with love and elegance. Ani’s studio is very clean and comfortable. The photoshoot session went really well and smooth. Ani, my husband and I collaborated nicely with each other. I am very satisfied with the final touchup of the pictures, and I would recommend Ani to anyone who needs beautiful photoshoots!

We had an exceptional experience with Ani! From our first phone conversation to our maternity shoot, as well as newborn shoot, to the day we picked up our beautiful products she made the entire experience easy and fun! She's a great listener and very organized; translating our vision with her talents. She also genuinely cares for her clients beyond the images she captures. We look forward to working with her again!

If you want amazing portraits, Ani is the one to hire. NO DOUBT about it. I am sooo grateful that I went to Ani to photograph my maternity photos and the newborn and family photos. I am a planner so I loved that Ani invested time with me ahead of the shoots to plan all the details: wardrobe, colors, hair etc. For the newborn photos, she even gives specific instructions to follow beforehand to help the baby be comfortable and calm during the shoot. My maternity photos captured the happiness and excitement in a classy and timeless way. The newborn photos I will cherish forever as the captured so

Ani never fails to create beautiful photographs. I chose her as my maternity photographer and later on decided to book a newborn photo shoot with her. Ani is award winning for her newborn photography and with good reason. She's very gentle and has every detail planned so the shoot went smoothly with my newborn.
I'm very particular with cleanliness especially during this pandemic and Ani was great with making sure she was following protocols during this time such as wearing masks, hand sanitation and keeping her studio clean.

Ani did a fantastic job on my maternity and family photos. My husband and I loved the way that they turned out and we even got a wall sized portrait made. Ani was extremely professional, very nice, has attention to detail, worked well with my 12 year old stepdaughter, and took amazing photos. I didn't have the best experience being pregnant but Ani made my photos look so great that you would have no idea! She made me feel pretty which is what I needed. I highly recommend her for your maternity shoot. You will not be disappointed.

This was my first time doing something like this and I'm glad we did it. Ani is really great--she's personable, creative, has a good eye, and really goes out of her way to get to know you before the session so she can capture your essence accurately. We did maternity photos and they came out really great!

I am so thrilled we found Ani (using Facebook at first, and then I read other Yelp reviews) for our daughter's newborn photos!
We were worried about COVID safety and Ani was recommended as having excellent COVID protocols. We loved her website and reached out.
She was super responsive and an extremely clear communicator. She's great about explaining things, from the prices to how to get the best shots of a sleepy newborn.
We spent several hours with her and found the studio to be warm and inviting. She had snacks for our son, a cozy place for me to pump and calming music.

Ani makes you feel very comfortable as she snaps amazingly beautiful pics of your most precious life moments. Ani is the perfect combination of class, elegance and art.
Other photo studios can do the job cheaper, but Ani is worth every penny. She is kind, thoughtful and her studio is immaculate. Stop looking through Yelp and book Ani.

I did my maternity and newborn shoot with Ani and absolutely loved it. For the maternity shoot, Ani and her assistant for the day went above and beyond to deliver on the specific vision I had for the shoot. They were highly professional and made me feel like a complete goddess. The photos were amazing - with friends likening it to pics that could be in Vanity Fair.
For the newborn shoot, the professionalism remained - even as the subject of the shoot was not in the mood to cooperate. Ani had to adjust in real time, as the photos we wanted just weren't possible as my daughter decided to stage

I went to Ani for my maternity photoshoot, and absolutely loved the experience from beginning to end. The shoot was wonderful--Ani takes the time to learn your preferences, aesthetic, and the kind of look you want well in advance of the shoot. The shoot itself was comfortable and fun, the studio is intimate and welcoming, as is Ani and her staff. I felt totally at ease at all times, even though being photographed isn't always the most natural thing. She took plenty of angles, and asked for input during the shoot, so if you have a particular pose or look in mind, she does her best to make it happen

Me and my wife had our first baby daughter and was in search of a high quality photographer who specializes in baby photography and Ani did an amazing job capturing our beautiful baby girl!
I am a wedding photographer and really picky on who I choose to take professional pictures of my family so me choosing Ani was the best decision we made. She made us feel comfortable and took her time with us during our session.
If you are still searching for the right photographer I promise you that Ani will go over and beyond to make sure you and your baby have the best experience ever! Thank you Ani!

Ani took newborn photos of my daughter about a week after she was born. I first contacted Ani about one month prior to my daughter being born. Ani was very flexible in terms of packages and rates and was able to accommodate exactly what we were looking for. The day of the shoot went very smooth. The studio was warm to keep the baby comfortable and there was a very clean and organized room for prepping/feeding/changing the baby. Ani had a huge selection of props including head bands, blankets and accessories. I was most impressed by Ani's level of professionalism throughout the shoot. She knew

Haezyl was 10 days old when we had her photos taken and Ani was so gentle and caring when working with her. She took extra time to make sure that I would have the most precious pictures. Her studio is clean, beautiful and kept nice and warm for baby. She really caters to the mamas, making sure there is a private room to nurse and snacks available too!
