I'm Anna Munandar, owner of Mini Anna Photographycom, a San Francisco Bay Area maternity and newborn photographer based in beautiful Sausalito, Marin County.

I’m so in love with capturing the magic of the female body—especially during pregnancy. There’s something truly miraculous about growing a tiny human inside you, and I believe that power deserves to be both celebrated and documented.

Why Maternity Photos Matter

It breaks my heart when clients hesitate to book a maternity session because they don’t feel like they’re “looking their best.” I get it—we all have days when we feel less than radiant. But let’s be honest: you are literally creating life inside your body. If that’s not the definition of superhuman, I don’t know what is.

Yes, you may feel big. Yes, you may feel full. That’s because… you are full of magic.

You should feel like a million bucks (because, let’s face it, raising a kid will probably cost that much—ha!). I hope that made you smile.

Maternity Photos Are for the Whole Family

To me, a maternity portrait session is just as important as a newborn session—because once the baby is out, well, you can’t put them back in. You’re not a kangaroo!

But truly, these photos aren’t just for you. They’re for your children, your grandchildren, your entire family legacy. My son loves seeing photos of me pregnant with him. He’s fascinated by them. Those photos spark questions and imagination, and they’ve led to some of our sweetest bonding moments. That’s priceless.

Real Client Story: From “I’m Not Sure” to “I’m So Glad I Did”

One beautiful mama came to me to book a newborn session, but initially didn’t want maternity portraits. I showed her my maternity portfolio, shared my experience, and gave her space to consider.

She eventually said yes—and I’m so glad she did. She walked into the studio glowing. I could feel her joy and magic in the room, and I was honored to capture her beauty and strength. I know “glowing” and “radiant” can sound cheesy—but so does a grilled cheese sandwich, and you know what? Cheese is delicious. And so is the truth.
