Two of you.

Engagements, anniversaries, or simply the two of you before life gets louder, or long after it has. Somewhere you love, with a little guidance from me: where to stand, where the light is, and then the real moments follow, natural and true to the two of you.

Couples sessions starting from $650

“Anna, you're so incredibly talented! We had sooo much fun with you. Thank you for making this such a comfortable experience … and for going above and beyond to get us the best shots.”

II of VIWeddings & elopements

Then the day.

Weddings and elopements: a city hall morning, a garden with the people you love most, a forest path with no one else at all. I take on a small number each year, so each one has my full attention.

  • Elopements starting from $950
  • Weddings starting from $1,600

“Thanks again Anna! The pictures were better than I could ever have imagined. You were amazing!”

Then the waiting,

The months when everything is about to change. Out in the morning mist, or at home by your own window.

Maternity sessions starting from $650

“Thank you so much Anna, it was one of the most pleasant experiences. What a precious evening to remember for life ♥️”

Write to me about the waiting

and someone new.

Newborn sessions happen at home, in the first weeks. No studio and nothing to fuss over: your baby, your rooms and the light you already live in.

Newborn sessions starting from $650

“best decision i ever made!!! you were absolutely so sweet and i'm obsessed with these photos! i'll cherish them forever!”

Write to me about someone new

V of VIFamilies

Then all of you, growing up.

Toddlers, ten-year-olds, teenagers who would rather be anywhere else until they start laughing. Families change quickly, and every age is worth keeping.

It's never too late to start.

Family sessions starting from $650

Write to me about all of you

Play first, photographs follow

Laughter that is never forced

Every age, as it really is

About

Hello, I’m Anna.

I photograph people the way they are with each other: the leaning in, the laughing, the quiet bits in between. I guide you gently, so you always know what to do, and the feelings in the photographs stay your own.

Whichever chapter you're in, there's a place to begin.

“Thank you for such a wonderful experience with you and capturing the most valuable moment in our life ✨✨🥰”
