Taking pictures should be fun! Putting on itchy clothes, waiting your turn at the mall with your kids getting antsy and your baby getting hungry, while you pray everyone cooperates, as you're rushed through your 20 minute in studio photo session is not my idea of fun.
Photography shouldn't be painful, your husband shouldn't hate it, your kids shouldn't dread it... mama shouldn't be stressed about them hating it and dreading it. People look their best when they are relaxed, comfortable, and photographed in natural light- this is what I aim to provide out in a gorgeous field, in your home or at your favorite location of your choice.
Are you up for something different?
Are you ready to capture your family in a unique and artistic way?
If your answer is yes, then I'm your girl!
I would love to build a relationship with your family and capture all of the beautiful milestones of childhood as your family grows providing you with gorgeous images that will last a lifetime.

FAMILY SESSIONS
from the blog
From the very first meeting with her we were so impressed! Not only did she sit with me and get to know our style by looking at our wedding Pinterest board, but she offered us to use the rugs from her very own home, which we graciously took her up on! BEAUTIFUL!
"She had such a nice, comfortable approach from beginning to end allowing everyone to feel natural..."
Melissa and Joe

"On our wedding day she made us feel super comfortable and at ease right away, which is exactly what you want in a photographer as she captures some of the most personal and meaningful moments in your life. She was more than willing to take as many photos as we wanted to make sure that we had plenty of pictures with our friends and family. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful."
"From our very first conversation I could tell how incredibly thoughtful and attentive to detail she is."
Laurie & Alex

Aniko is amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding a few months ago. She is super fun and easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable during such a nervous time for me. I highly recommend Aniko’s work and I can’t wait to need another excuse to capture beautiful pictures!!
