Anna Munandar - Founder and Photographer of Mini Anna Photography. Newborn / Maternity/ Family / Pet Photographer

I'm grateful for
love and laughter

Hello!

I’m a single mom of Bradley a.k.a. Mr Giggly Pants, Rocky The Old Velcro Dog, and Marla The Fluffball Bunny. They fill my world with love and laughter.

Mini is a physical description of me. Anna is my name. At certain angles, I might look like a 12 year old. But don’t let that fool you. I've been a photographer for 20 years, and I've had the honor to capture sweet moments of thousands of families in the Bay Area. I would be honored to be your photographer too!

I grew up in Indonesia and have had the amazing opportunity to visit 34 countries, lived in 4 of them, and learned 5 languages (tho I’m rusty on most of them). My family is half a world away so I absolutely love it when my clients become like an extended family.

I’m passionate about creating and capturing joy. I believe that photos have the power to give you happiness by reliving fond memories. My session is fun, relaxed, and stress-free. My goal is to be your personal family photographer documenting all your family’s growth and milestones! When my clients come to me year after year and tell me about how the photos I took from years ago bring joy to their days, it makes all the hard work worth it.

I'm also active in the community and have volunteered or fundraised for Rise Up! 94965, Family Dog Rescue, Marin Humane, Golden Gate Mother’s Group, and many others. I'm always down to support families, local businesses, and non-profit organizations. If you’re a business owner and need support, reach out!

My work has been published in magazines and billboards all over the world, including SF's very own GGMG (Golden Gate Mother’s Group) Magazine. I’m most proud of my work with NKLA and Jaguar Rescue Center in Costa Rica. If you’ve been to Puerto Viejo, you probably have seen my work on billboards. I absolutely love being around animals and babies. Their pure heart and loving nature warms my heart. Just like how I hope my photos will warm your hearts.

"We are so happy with our baby and family (including our 4 legged family) photos from Anna. Anna is very professional and arrived on time. She brought all of the props with her and was very flexible working with our less than ideal parking situation. She is really patient and has the magic touch with babies. I think we referred to her as the baby whisperer several time because our little girl did not want to close her eyes or stay still. Anna didn't mind and kept patiently working to get the shot even staying well beyond the original appointment time. Our little girl had several bathroom accidents during the naked photos and Anna was completely understanding and was totally prepared with extras. :) The best part about Anna is that she really captured the uniquely characteristic features of our family and our little girl. I can't say enough good things about her."

ANNE

"Oh my god, if you're looking for a pet photographer, there's no one better than Anna! She is very unassuming and puts you (and your pet) quickly at ease. But the best thing is that she sees art in the little details where most of us wouldn't think there's anything there. I've had her shoot my dogs many times and I'm always surprised and thrilled with what she comes up with.

“Anna is a dream work with. We just completed our third mini session with her. I am blown away by how she captures my children's personalities so beautifully - in only 15 minutes.”

I met Anna when she was doing photo mini-sessions at a play space my son attended frequently. She photographed my first son when he was about 9 months old for a Christmas photo, and then we did another session around his first birthday. We are still in love with those photos. When my second son was born, we knew that we'd ask Anna to do his newborn photo session as well. I treasure all of these photos, which include our dogs and our home so beautifully. Anna is patient, kind, super professional, and has a distinct talent for capturing the essence of her subjects. We have another family photo session planned and I can't wait to see the photos!

"Anna has always been an absolute pleasure to work with. This is our 2nd year doing family portraits with her and the experience went as smooth as it could with an almost 3 year old toddler. We were so impressed by the photos she took of our family last year and how she was able to capture our son's personality in the picture. She let us choose both locations ourselves, but still came very prepared and well researched on where to find the best shots. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her services year after year."

FRANCESCA

"We did a newborn photo session with Anna and it turned out amazing. She was so good with our baby, and took so many sweet photos. She had all the props and went through about five different settings for the photos. I loved that she had different package offerings at different price points that included framed photos so that the photos don't just sit on your computer or thumbdrive. We are definitely scheduling another photo session with Anna in a few months."

HEATHER

"Anna is so good with children. My child is normally super shy and sometimes she doesn’t connect with other photographers. Anna quickly won her over and there were tons of smiles and laughter."

MABEL

"Anna's work is amazing. We did a mini session with Anna at Ft. Point. Prior to the session, Anna asked me to fill out a questionnaire. One of the questions was: if we were looking at these photos years from now, what kind of emotion would I want them to convey? I wanted to see family and love. Anna captured our family beautifully. The love, family, and togetherness definitely comes through the photos. I was very impressed because 1) our family is difficult to capture well and 2) we've never met Anna before, so did not have the advantage to my kids being photographed by someone they've known for years. Thank you Anna!"

FAQ

MY PHOTOGRAPHER CHARGES LESS THAN YOU. CAN YOU MATCH PRICES?

I have been a photographer for 20 years and with that comes the knowledge and experience to handle all kinds of situations and capture your family moments in the best way possible. Every photographer has a different business model and overhead to stay in business. Being based and having a studio in Marin means paying the expensive rent and cost of having a business. Some photographers do it as a hobby/ side gig, while others, like me, work on this business full time as the only source of income for my family. Which also means I'm dedicated to giving you the best experience. I have created a wide variety of packages to accommodate most budget. I recommend my mini sessions if you're looking for a budget friendly photo session.
