Documenting Baby’s First Year: A Gift You'll Treasure Forever

 

Hi, I’m Anna Munandar, owner of Mini Anna Photography and a full-service family photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a cozy studio in Sausalito, Marin, California. I specialize in newborn photography, maternity portraits, family sessions, and baby milestone photography.

Today, I want to talk about one of the most meaningful offerings I provide: documenting your baby’s first year of life.

Why Capture Baby’s First Year?

Your baby’s first year is full of transformation. One day they’re sleeping in your arms, and the next they’re rolling over, babbling, and clapping. The phrase “the days are long, but the years are short” rings especially true in this season of life.

As a parent, you already have so much on your plate. It can be hard to remember to grab the camera—let alone make time to document the big and small milestones. That’s where I come in. I make it easy and joyful to preserve these memories so they don’t slip by unnoticed.

What’s Included in the Baby’s First Year Package?

Why Families Choose Mini Anna Photography

My passion lies in capturing emotion, connection, and the quiet, fleeting beauty of childhood. I work with families year after year, documenting growth, celebration, and everything in between.

Here’s what I always tell my clients:

“For less than a Bay Area rent or mortgage payment, you can preserve an entire year of memories.”

And trust me—it’s worth it.
