Ani radiates amazing energy. She embodies such professionalism & grace and it is an absolute pleasure to work with her. During the sessions not only does she capture beautiful moments, but she also makes you feel seen and incredible throughout. Her warmt, kindness, and her easy going personality is an absolute breath of fresh air! Photoshoots with young children can often be a stressful experience, but not with Ani. Most recently, I had a mother's day shoot scheduled with Ani with my 2 under 2 children. The morning of the shoot was rough, children were extra cranky, I was running behind because my hair appointment was taking longer than anticipated, and was an overall chaotic day! On our way to the shoot, traffic was insane. Throughout our drive to the location, I kept updating her on our eta (which kept getting longer and longer)! However, Ani was so understanding, reassuring, and kept saying to just have a safe drive. Needless to say we arrived 45 mins late. My nerves and anxiety at this point were through the roof because I was not sure how my 2 tired children who had been in the car for almost 2 hrs at this point, were even going to entertain a photoshoot. Well, thank goodness for Ani. She set the tone as soon as we got there. She greeted and welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. Her positive energy and fabulous way with children just turned everything for the better from that point on. My children were immediately drawn to her and had an amazing time with this shoot. Everything felt so easy, painless, and free flowing as she captured such special moments for my family and I, so beautifully. I recommend Ani 100/10 for any event/occassion. She is a gem and you will not regret it! Love her! read more

Such a great time working with her! Beautiful pictures + so friendly and caring! Thank you again! read more

We've had the absolute joy of working with Ani several times now, and every single session has been such a wonderful experience. Ani has an incredible eye for capturing the most beautiful, authentic moments, and her photos always leave us wanting more. What really makes Ani stand out is the way she makes everyone feel so comfortable. She brings such calm, positive energy to the shoot, and that really shines through in the photos. And when it comes to kids, Ani is truly magical. She connects with them so naturally, making them laugh and feel at ease, and somehow always manages to capture those perfect little expressions and candid moments that we'll treasure forever. We can't recommend Ani enough--she's not just a talented photographer, she's a joy to work with and someone you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

Ani is patient, kind and so wonderful with my kids. Her photos perfectly capture all the moments I want to store in my heart. What started as a photographer booked for my child's birthday party has led to maternity shoots, newborn shoots, baptisms, and so much more. read more

Where do i begin? Ani is Golden! Kind hearted! So talented! So professional! She knows exactly how to capture those important photos that freezes the time from your event so every time you look at those photos you remember that exact moment from your event. The way she gives you photos in both color and black white are beyond fantastic! I have now invited Ani to few of our family events and from now on whenever I have to give someone a gift for a event I always choose Ani, gifting people photographs of their event professionally done by a talented photographer is priceless! Be sure to reach out to her for your next event or even do family photo sessions like mother and daughter or with grandparents ... you will love her and her talent! read more

When looking for a photographer for our holiday shoot, I struggled to find a style I liked, until I (very fortunately) stumbled upon Ani. Beyond the fact that her set was beautiful, she made us feel so comfortable throughout the shoot. As first time parents with a 4 month old at the time of our first shoot, we needed the patience and extra guidance that Ani provided. With a quick turnaround time, we received our photos and were in awe of how amazing they turned out! She is now our "go-to" photographer for any events or photoshoots! It's a bonus that my baby is obsessed with her! She is friendly, professional, and ensures that your photos turn out perfect! read more

To say Ani is amazing is an understatement. For someone that does not do pictures regularly, I was a little apprehensive taking my daughter in for her first photo shoot. Ani immediately put us at ease. She made us both feel so comfortable all throughout and the results were beautiful! We've gone back 3 times since and each time the experience and has surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a photographer. read more

Ani is a literal angel of a photographer who makes you feel SO comfortable and confident on set. She works so well with the kids and totally understands how overwhelming it is for parents to get through a photoshoot.

I cannot recommend Ani enough and sincerely look forward to our annual photoshoot with her!! read more

By far the best photographer. Ani is absolutely patient and understanding. She makes you feel so comfortable during all her photoshoot sessions! My husband is not a big fan of taking pictures but every single time I tell him it's Ani who's going to be behind that camera... He doesn't question it twice... all he says is "tell me when and what time!" She has captured many of our special moments and I will definitely be having her capture many more. Would recommend her to anyone!! read more
