Ani is AMAZING! She made my wife feel so comfortable even though she is not feeling beautiful (her words) in her pregnant body. The studio is relaxing and comforting and has all the needs you could want from fabrics and clothes so you don't have to scour Amazon for your look (she already has it) to espresso and water and a comfortable changing room that offers privacy and rest. We spoke with Ani in planning the looks we wanted and they came out EXACTLY how we envisioned. We could not be happier with her professionalism, respect, and, most importantly, artistry in capturing this precious and fleeting moment of our lives. We are truly happy we chose Ani Portraits for our maternity photos. read more

Ani at ANI PORTRAITS is amazing! Her photos came out absolutely beautiful, and she made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. The studio is cozy, clean, and has everything you could need for newborn and family photos. She was so patient and great with our babies and toddlers, and we never felt rushed or awkward. You can tell she truly loves what she does. I'm so happy with how our pictures turned out. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for maternity or newborn photos. Truly impressed by her talents in photography and editing. read more

ANI Portraits - Lounge Area at ANI PORTRAITS - Session Photography Near Me - Glendale, California

Newborn photos are an investment and require quite a bit of planning, especially at a time when you're low on energy and time (i.e. right before and after welcoming a new baby). I never did a newborn session with my first child and always wished I had sucked it up and planned for one, so when Baby #2 was due, I did a lot of research online until I found Ani. She was great to coordinate with via email and phone and was a total pro. She helped guide us through what we needed to do to prepare for a successful session and truly listened to what we wanted. She offered expertise and ideas when asked but never pushed for props or aesthetics we didn't want. On the day of the session, Ani was amazing and incredibly patient working with our newborn and captured some beautiful shots. She also accommodated family shots with our older child and a few full family shots, which were included in the package we purchased. The pictures turned out beautifully, and though they were great as they were, she also provided subtle editing and retouching that helped everything look its very best. We opted not to purchase prints since we couldn't commit to what we wanted at the time, but the digital delivery was great for us. Overall, Ani is a wonderful photographer who I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a newborn or family photographer--or truly any type of photography work. I'd try to book early, as I think her slots can fill up quickly (especially for the newborn sessions). Thanks again, Ani! read more

I am appreciative of the work and effort Ani put in regarding both the maternity photos and newborn photos. She really does a great job putting attention to detail and also was great at dedicating time to really make sure we picked out the photos that we wanted to pick. Look forward to doing more family portraits in the future as our little one grows! read more

We just finished our baby's first birthday photoshoot with Ani, and we couldn't be happier! This was our second time working with her, she also captured our maternity photos during my first pregnancy. Ani has an incredible eye for detail; she's truly an artist and an absolute professional. She's kind, patient, and made us feel very comfortable. We can't wait to see the finished photos from this shoot, and we're already looking forward to coming back for our next round of family portraits. If you're looking for stunning, professional photography that's also a beautiful work of art, I wholeheartedly recommend Ani. She's amazing! read more

Knowing that neither my husband or myself were great with photos and cameras, we knew that we wanted to make an investment to capture our two daughters in their amazing baby goodness. Our first experience working with Ani was in 2021, yes that's right, fresh out of covid. I wanted to find a photographer who could capture the uniqueness of my daughter and her personality - not just rinse and repeat same typical poses and/or rely on props. About a week before our shoot appt, my daughter decided to figure out how to become fully mobile and crawl. Ani was incredibly patient and kind, despite my daughter crawling every five seconds and emptying her bladder twice on the set! Our second experience was this year for our second daughter. I knew I wanted to capture her as a baby at the same age. Ani did not disappoint - she was able to produce photos that captured so many different nuances of my daughter and her personality, and all in just her birthday suit! Overall it's a well thought out experience working with Ani. She is highly communicative throughout the process, her studio is well equipped to ensure a comfortable experience for both parent and baby, and she can provide as little or as much guidance as you require. read more

I looked at SO MANY photographers before reaching out to Ani for our newborn's swaddled studio session. While many swaddled newborn "baby-in-a-basket" photos can feel cheesy and overly staged, Ani infuses her work with a fine art sensibility that I think gives her photos a more timeless and elevated look. I appreciated her attention to detail -- she fluffed my baby's hair and swaddled him in colors that matched my home's decor. Also, she is a baby whisperer! My usually super alert newborn slept through the entire 1-hour shoot and multiple set ups. After the shoot, Ani processed the photos on the spot so that we could choose our final digital images. She did way more set ups than I was expecting and gave me so many different options. She uses portrait design software to show you how the images might look in your home and gives you an opportunity to buy high-end physical keepsakes if you want. Her studio is also super cozy, with a private room where you can feed and change your baby and a kitchen with tea and snacks. If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for timeless, artistic newborn photography and memorabilia that you will cherish for years to come when your baby is no longer teeny tiny and swaddle-able, I highly recommend her! read more

My family and I had an amazing experience with Ani for our newborn portraits! We discovered ANI Portraits through Google and immediately loved all of the images on her website. Our baby was only one week old at our session and Ani was such an expert at soothing and prepping her for the most adorable and thoughtful poses. The studio itself was spacious and bright with a large glam room equipped with everything your baby/child needs before their session. She gave me a complete walk through of backgrounds/props/wardrobe before we got started, making sure to include every detail of how I wanted our baby styled. Our session overall was such a lovely and heartwarming experience, exactly what I needed having given birth just a week prior. We cannot wait for our next session and highly recommend ANI Portraits for those who are looking for an extremely talented photographer! read more

Ani is obviously incredibly talented which is evident by her photos. She is also professional, patient, understanding, flexible, so good with the babies and kids, accommodating, and very skilled. Her studio is perfect and her operation runs very professionally. We loved working with her and will do all of our family photos with her in the future. We highly recommend if you want timeless, classic photos that will last for generations upon generations. read more

if you are looking for any kind of studio shots for yourself, family or friends id definitely recommend ani portraits i recently shot my second maternity photos with her and she never failed to meet my expectations both the first pregnancy or this one shes very welcoming and has great hospitality and is great at what she does!:) read more

I had scheduled a photo session for my 1 year old. And Ani was great! photos came out how I envisioned it all thanks to her.

I used Ani for maternity photos. She was so accommodating during this whole process! I had a short timeline to get photos these done and she was very willing to make accommodations for me. I also challenged her with an idea for the photoshoot that she had not done before and she approached it with such enthusiasm! She helped me plan it out, and made sure to get the things we would need to accomplish my vision for the studio. I would definitely recommend her to a friend. I felt extremely comfortable and listened to throughout the entire process. I'm not very artistic and when I would mention a vague idea, she was able to take it and make it into a beautiful portrait which was very helpful. She clearly has a lot of expertise. I will say that I did hesitate before booking because I had never spent over $1000 on myself before, but after talking with Ani on the phone, it really seemed like she was very skilled an knowledgeable and that she cared a lot about my vision and my comfort with the whole process. After the conversation, I felt like it would be worth the investment and after having the shoot and seeing the result, I can confirm that it definitely was! Highly recommend! read more

Ani is a fantastic photographer; she is very professional, friendly, and thorough. I loved the initial questionnaire and consultation, which is an excellent tool for designing the photoshoot. Ani understood my vision and created a tailor-made session, studio setups, and outfits exactly how I pictured them. The session itself was so fun; I had an amazing time. Ani made me and my husband feel very comfortable. She took the time to get all the shots we had planned. I love when artists are able to combine their personal style with the customer's desires, and I have to say that Ani really nails it. I will 100% recommend her. read more

We had such an amazing experience working with Ani! In addition to taking the most beautiful photos of our daughter, she was professional, kind and very patient with our fussy girl. I also appreciated how she took the time to go over our vision before our appointment. We're so happy we went forward with booking Ani and we cannot recommend her enough! read more

Here I am 6 yrs later, coming to Ani for my second baby's pictures. This decision was a no-brainer, I had to use Ani again. Ani treats you as family, she is caring and her passion for photography shines through, making children and adults feel comfortable in front of the camera. She does great with little ones and has great eye for design. I felt comfortable in her knowledge of patterns/schemes or props that would look good together. Another thing I loves is that both my children's baby books, canvas and pictures are same high quality which can be displayed together. read more

Ani captured our sweet angels newborn photos. She was incredibly thorough, organized and gentle. She is the definition of the "baby whisperer". From the booking process to the shooting process, Ani and her team were incredibly professional. The studio was beautiful, warm for a newborn, and had lots of accessories to choose from. The pictures came out absolutely stunning! Ani has an artistic eye - it was fun watching her "in the zone" while taking photos of our newborn. I also appreciated that Ani and her staff were wearing a mask during the shoot. It was truly an all around positive experience. I highly recommend Ani and her studio to anyone looking for professional photography. read more

Ani is exceptional at her craft. My husband and I were looking for a newborn photographer and were immediately drawn to Ani's work after seeing it on Instagram. She is a professional through and through, and I was amazed at how well she navigated my little one and I through the newborn photoshoot. Her attention to detail is bar none, and she captured photos of our little one that we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend her enough, and I plan to work with her for all our future family portraits. read more

I can't recommend Ani enough! She's so incredibly talented, professional, and friendly.

Ani never fails to create beautiful photographs. I chose her as my maternity photographer and later on decided to book a newborn photo shoot with her. Ani is award winning for her newborn photography and with good reason. She's very gentle and has every detail planned so the shoot went smoothly with my newborn. I'm very particular with cleanliness especially during this pandemic and Ani was great with making sure she was following protocols during this time such as wearing masks, hand sanitation and keeping her studio clean. With newborns in the studio, she was the only one there as to minimize unnecessary contact with others. She made us feel at ease and we enjoyed the experience very much. Overall, I would recommend Ani to anyone looking for beautiful photos to cherish forever. read more

ANI Portraits - Newborn photo shoot - Session Photography Near Me - Glendale, California

I am so thrilled we found Ani (using Facebook at first, and then I read other Yelp reviews) for our daughter's newborn photos! We were worried about COVID safety and Ani was recommended as having excellent COVID protocols. We loved her website and reached out. She was super responsive and an extremely clear communicator. She's great about explaining things, from the prices to how to get the best shots of a sleepy newborn. We spent several hours with her and found the studio to be warm and inviting. She had snacks for our son, a cozy place for me to pump and calming music. I loved how much Ani puts into each and every shot -- carefully arranging a tiny headband or placing our daughter's feet just so. My husband says he was especially impressed by how Ani handled the baby (just 10 days old!). She was such a pro with every hold, adjustment, swaddle and headband application. She didn't even flinch when the baby peed unexpectedly! Ani also managed to get our very jealous and grumpy toddler to smile like an angel in his sibling picture. We loved the photos and have been so happy to share them with everyone who hasn't gotten to meet the baby thanks to this crazy year. You won't regret trusting Ani with your family. read more

We could not be happier with our experience and results from Ani. From our first call she was attentive, thoughtful, and offered her incredible creative expertise. She listened to our vision and executed it with perfection. We are SO happy with the photos of our newborn and of our family. Her studio is gorgeous. It's clean, inviting, and has everything you could possibly want: snacks, drinks, toys for the older kids, a changing table, a comfortable couch for nursing, and COFFEE. (Ani, can I move in?) The best part, though, was an included three our session where we got to choose our photos and lay out our book. Ani was so good about listening to us and lending her eye. She also worked within our budget to give us exactly what we wanted for the price we could afford. Thank you Ani! read more

I did a lot of research before I chose Ani. I knew that I wanted newborn pictures taken, but I also wanted them to be taken by the best photographer. Ani truly is the best. Her work is next level and very unique. On top of her being a very talented photographer, she's a lovely, patient person. My baby was under a week old when he shot with Ani, so you can imagine that I was a little nervous. From the moment she held my son, I felt at ease. She's absolutely wonderful with newborns. One of my very favorite things about Ani's studio is her waiting area. It was so cozy and comfortable. I took full advantage of the three or so hours that Ani was photographing my baby. I snacked and took a much needed nap. Ani took her time with the shoot and the results really show that she did. My husband and I love all of the photos and feel blessed that Ani was able to capture his little personality. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for newborn photography. Trust me, it's an art and takes a great deal of patience and a creative eye. Ani is a true professional and a very talented photographer! read more

Let me first start off by saying you NEED to hire Ani. I found her randomly on Yelp and instantly fell in love with her work. You can tell Ani really cares about her clients and not about money. She takes her time to get to know her clients and isn't pushy at all. Ani did my maternity and newborn shoot. I'm currently waiting to get my newborn photos. My maternity photos came out BEAUTIFUL!!!!! She captured exactly what I wanted. She really made my first pregnancy an amazing experience. Her office space is beautiful and made us feel like home. She has so many options when it comes to set ups and props. She really works with you to make sure she delivers exactly what you're looking for. What I appreciate the most is her honesty. I was able to trust her 100%. She knows exactly what she is doing. You definitely get your money's worth with Ani. She is so good at her job. She takes the most beautiful photos makes it so hard to choose during the viewing. If you're looking for a photographer to capture your pregnancy or anything really she is your girl no doubt about it. I'm so happy with her service and so happy I came across her page. 10/10 would recommend her and will definitely be hiring her again for future photo shoots. read more

About 6 weeks before our daughter was born, my wife and I decided we wanted to have newborn photos taken, and I contacted 3 newborn photographers in our area, based on a Google search and after looking at their respective website portfolios. One of them was Ani Tsatourian. In fairness, all 3 of these photographers were excellent, having done amazing work. I had never seen anything so stunning. Next, I contacted all 3 of them through their website contact portals. One photographer emailed me back with information and pricing Another photographer had a huge staff with photographers trained in her method and style, and one of her office assistants emailed me back. It was very impersonal, and it was extremely expensive to hire the actual owner photographer. One of her staff photographers was the best I could hope to afford. There were a few things that made Ani stand out as clearly the best. First of all, Ani CALLED me herself, and we spoke for 30 minutes about who we were and what we were hoping to achieve in working with her. She wanted to know all about our family before we even talked about the session. Ani approaches her work with a personal touch that is beyond anything you have ever experienced. After our conversation, she sent me pricing and package information, and she never gave any pressure to choose her. We had another conversation a few days later, and I booked our session with her. She was extremely flexible with customizing a package that fit our needs and scheduling a session date. One thing that I'm sure many people don't realize is that babies don't come on their due date and the photographers want to shoot the sessions within the first 5-10 days after the birth. Ani worked with our family and work schedules to make this happen. On the session day, we were the only session on her schedule. She took the time that was needed to get every setup we had discussed. Our daughter was a little fussy that day, and Ani was so patient and so wonderful. It is a very detailed process to get these shots, and we trusted her fully with our newborn daughter and dressing her for every pose. I don't write many Yelp reviews. It really isn't my thing. I primarily use Yelp to find a good restaurant every once in a while. But I was compelled to write this review to help other new parents decide on a newborn photographer. Newborn photos are a luxury for most people, and it's something that you have only one shot to get. Ani will make that happen for you. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I recently took my maternity photos with Ani at her studio and am so happy with the experience and the final product. She made me feel so comfortable and glamorous. I usually feel like I look too stiff in professional photos but because of Ani, I was relaxed and it shows in the photos. She took the time to listen to what I wanted in my photos and I could tell that it was so important to her that her clients are happy. The studio was very comfortable, with plenty of refreshments, which is so important for any pregnant woman to have on hand. Im so happy I decided to work with Ani, she was definitely worth the trek to Glendale from Irvine. Thank you so much, Ani! read more

We took my newborn granddaughter to have her newborn portraits done by Ani! After doing some research and reading newborn photographer reviews I decided to call Ani. Ani won me over with her gentle voice and her calm demeanor. I scheduled Haezyl's NB portrait appointment and we met when Haez was 10 days old. Ani's studio is located in Glendale/Burbank area. Her studio is warm and welcoming.A very clean studio area with tons of prop bows, baskets, backdrops... A multitude of clean colored blankets and draping are hung on a rack for your choosing. A separate nursing/changing room is provided for feeding, calming and quiet time. Simple but healthy snacks and water is provided as well. Ani is very skilled and professional when it comes to handling your newborn. She has a soft touch and a soothing voice. She turned the heat on so the baby was kept warm and cozy. Ani didn't flinch when Haez made a peepee, after cleaning Haez up and rotating the drape she continued on with the session. The photography session lasted about 4 hours. The end results... the best newborn photos I've ever seen ;) Haezyl Layne read more

I contacted Ani after finding her highly rated on Yelp. She deserves more than five stars! She is very kind, professional and worked her magic capturing the most beautiful pictures of my baby. Haezyl was 10 days old when we had her photos taken and Ani was so gentle and caring when working with her. She took extra time to make sure that I would have the most precious pictures. Her studio is clean, beautiful and kept nice and warm for baby. She really caters to the mamas, making sure there is a private room to nurse and snacks available too!

I've never done a maternity shoot before, searched online and found Ani, and am I glad I did! I was 37 weeks pregnant during my shoot, not only is Ani kind, caring, and talented, she genuinely wants to get to know you and personalizes your experience during a special time. Her studio is super cute and has everything you need including snacks & drinks plus parking. One reason why I booked with her is her skills in drapery! Looking at photos online I thought they were beautiful dresses, well lo and behold, it's the artistic gift of Ani that makes the materials drape so beautifully around your body and the turn out? A beautifully captured image. Ani makes you feel welcomed and comfortable! We also saw Ani couple weeks after our newborn arrived for her session. I cannot believe how gentle and patient she was with her. We felt incredibly comfortable having Ani handle our newborn, enough so we hung out in the other room for some time. Both sessions, the photos turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Ani to anyone I know!! read more

I did my maternity and newborn shoot with Ani and absolutely loved it. For the maternity shoot, Ani and her assistant for the day went above and beyond to deliver on the specific vision I had for the shoot. They were highly professional and made me feel like a complete goddess. The photos were amazing - with friends likening it to pics that could be in Vanity Fair. For the newborn shoot, the professionalism remained - even as the subject of the shoot was not in the mood to cooperate. Ani had to adjust in real time, as the photos we wanted just weren't possible as my daughter decided to stage a protest against sleep. Nevertheless, Ani was super super patient and with a little time, we were able to get the shots. Bonus: the greenroom in Ani's studio has snacks and drinks and is so calm. It definitely came in handy during our newborn shoot that was longer than expected, and a very hungry breastfeeding mama! read more
