Welcoming a baby into your family's life is an exciting time, but it can also be an overwhelming time, especially for first time expecting parents. I remember feeling clueless and overwhelmed, and because of it, I missed documenting many of my son's first moments. That is something I regret and I would like to help you avoid that by helping you plan ahead and capture all their milestones for you (and them) to remember forever!
That’s where I come in. Mini Anna sessions are designed for real families—busy, loving, chaotic, and perfectly imperfect. I guide you through a simple, stress-free process that brings out natural connection and joy. You just show up, love on your people, and leave with photos that feel like you.
This is parenthood: You’re making the memories and trying to document them — until one day, they’re grown, and you’re not in enough of the photos.

If you're like me, you probably have a million things in your mind at any given time. You're so busy enjoying your present moments that sometimes. you blink and realize that your baby has grown so much. You want to document these fleeting moments (and have you be included in the story/ photos) but you're too busy to plan everything. I've been there and I want to help.
This is why I created the baby plan. I want to make it easy for you to remember how magical your pregnancy was, how tiny they were, their tiny fingers and toes, their chubby cheeks, the first time they smile at you, their first steps, and all their other first moments.
because I will make it easy for you
During the call/ when you're ready, we'll pick a date, location, and your session size (mini or big). You'll complete the Tell-Me-Everything Form and look through the Prep Guide. This helps us style, plan, and tailor the session to your family, ensuring we capture the sweetest, most meaningful moments with ease.
This is time for us to get to know each other and talk about your vision. I'll answer your questions, walk you through the process and set clear expectation.
Step one is easy, click that book now button and fill out a contact form. You will then get an invite to schedule a quick call.

Bring your positive vibe!. We’ll laugh, play, create happy memories, and capture the real, sweet moments — with zero stress and lots of encouragement.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s incredibly friendly, patient, and truly great with kids—she made everyone feel comfortable and captured such natural, beautiful moments. I’ll definitely be booking her again for our next family photo shoot!

I just finished looking at my gallery and all I can say is I'M BLOWN AWAY!!! Anna captured our family's spirit while also capturing the light in our family portrait session. She's an absolutely magical photographer!!! Not only that, she was super lovely to work with. She helped us find the perfect location that fit our family's style, and once on location she stuck the perfect balance of creating shots while also making us feel comfortable. This is with the added challenge that we have a 3 year old who doesn't know how to look at the camera and a 7 year old who just wants to pose. Everyone in the family looked great, and we'll cherish these photos for decades to come. 11/10, would recommend!

Get in contact with me below so we can start planning your photo session! I can't wait to work with you.
The length of the session depends on the type of newborn session, how many people are joining the session, your vision, budget, etc. Recommended time for newborn session in studio, at home, and at hospital are 3 hours, 2 hours, and 1 hour respectively.
Studio newborn sessions take place in my Sausalito studio, focusing on posed & polished portraits. With controlled lighting, neutral backdrops, and access to studio props and wraps, these sessions are ideal for art-forward parents. Many families choose studio sessions with wall art, albums, and heirloom prints in mind.
Lifestyle newborn sessions at home focus on natural, story-driven moments in your own space. These sessions capture real connections—snuggling on the couch, feeding, rocking, and settling into life together. The images feel more organic and personal, with your home becoming part of your family’s story.
Fresh 48 (hospital) sessions are captured within the first 24–48 hours after birth and document the raw, fleeting moments of those early hours—tiny details, hospital bracelets, first cuddles, and the emotional in-between moments.
All newborn sessions are baby-led, gentle, and unhurried. The best choice depends on whether you’re drawn to artistic studio portraits, real-life moments at home, or emotional storytelling from the very beginning.
✨ By special request and pending approval, I also offer a mobile studio option/ studio + lifestyle combo.
We typically plan for 3-5 baby outfits & sets for the studio newborn session and 1 outfit for the whole family. Home sessions typically allow for 1-2 outfits with your home as the backdrop.
Absolutely! The more the merrier! Sessions with large group typically need at least 2 hours to make sure everyone has their time to shine!
That’s normal. I’m a baby & kid-whisperer and we always get beautiful moments. I will walk you through the pre-session prep to get baby comfortable and ready for their portrait session. The best plan is to bring your positive vibe and for everyone to enjoy the moments.
Typically 2-3 weeks after the session date. Rush processing is available for a fee if needed.
All of your photos will come with Mini Anna’s signature edits. I don’t deliver raw or unprocessed files because I believe every image deserves to be finished with care and presented as a little piece of art. Additional retouching (skin perfection/ blemish removal, body shaping, etc) can be requested. Fee varies depending on complexity and number of photos.
Most families invest between $1500 and $3000 for their Newborn sessions depending on image selection and artwork choices.
