Anna is a wonderful photographer. She took our newborn photos and family lifestyle shots, and we love them! She was very patient and gentle and got great shots of my kiddos. We went to Anna's studio for the newborn photos, where she had beautiful props and backgrounds from which we could choose. She made us feel so comfortable, and she even has a cute outdoor area for outdoor shots as well. read more

Anna has been photographing my family for years, and she just sent us beautiful pictures from a recent photo shoot. I booked a Mother's Day mini shoot, and due to scheduling, by the time we met, it was starting to get cold and windy in the location I chose in the Presidio. My one year old was grumpy, and it was clear it wasn't going to be a fun shoot with the cold wind. Anna suggested relocating the shoot across the bridge to Sausalito, and the new location she chose was sunny and beautiful. My one year old was still a little grumpy, but Anna got terrific photos of all of us. Thank you Anna for being so flexible, patient, understanding, and a great photographer. read more

I just had my session with Anna and I am very impressed. Anna was a pleasure to work with. She was very kind and was a natural to capture my sweet 9 month old baby. The pictures are high quality as if it was featured in an editorial magazine! I have taken many photos with other professional photographers in the past and none of the quality and editing is as good as hers. I will definitely recommend her to all my family friends. Thank you Anna for your work and kindness! read more

I had a great time and walked away with some amazing photos- thank you, Anna!

Anna is an amazing photographer, she took my portrait for my business's website. I HATE posing for pictures, I never feel natural but Anna made me feel so comfortable! She was great to work with! She is warm and kind. She directed me to pose certain ways when I had no idea what to do with myself. She was super helpful and encouraging. I just received my pictures and they are GORGEOUS!! I look so good, my smile is genuine and her framing is amazing. I am so so happy! Thank you Anna! read more

Anna was wonderful to work with. We found her through a mom group! We have never had studio portraits taken of our baby so we were excited to get some shots for her upcoming first birthday. Overall, Anna was professional, patient, kind, and hands on. We were not sure of what to expect and let Anna drive the session (first birthday studio session). She made use of props (she has so many!), and, took care of all the cleanup (baby did really love the smash cake!). We arrived promptly at her studio, and were warmly greeted. Throughout our time there, Anna swiftly and meticulously set up the stage for beautiful photos, both inside and outside. No detail is left behind - Anna took the time to stage, fix, set up and ensure that all family members (yes our dog too) were included in photos. She guided us through each setup and she naturally engaged with our daughter to get the best shot! When our baby started getting fussy, Anna was patient, kind and did not add to the stress! Anna was also COVID conscious, wearing her mask at all times. We cannot wait to see our photos and would recommend Anna to anyone looking to capture beautiful photos of their little ones! read more

I contacted Anna during my 3rd trimester to schedule a maternity and newborn photoshoot, Anna responded quickly and presented us with different packages that we could choose from to receive the best possible experience. Maternity photo session - My husband and I had the most fun during this photoshoot. Anna has great taste and helped us select our outfits and the location for our special day. She made sure we were comfortable and patiently captured the best moments in the right light and backgrounds. The photos have turned out beautiful and we couldn't be more happier with them! Newborn photo session - Anna was very patient and gentle with our newborn when he was fussy during the photoshoot. We had to feed, change and calm our baby and Anna was kind and understanding throughout. She knew exactly how to get our newborn comfortable for the photos. She suggested props, outfits and locations and accommodated our preferences effortlessly. We have no doubt that the photos will turn out to be memorable and beautiful. Anna is professional and pleasant and planned both our photoshoots so well. We were concerned of being so close in proximity during Covid times but Anna was extra careful and we couldn't be more happier with the whole experience. We highly recommend Anna for all your family pictures, because she's simply amazing at it. read more

This is our 3rd year doing a mini shoot with Anna. We have super wiggly kids and each year we leave thinking "there is no way we got any good pics".

I always struggle to choose which photos to print because they are all so perfect. read more

I found Mini Anna among many other photographers doing a google search near me. After looking through Mini Anna's website, I really felt the coziness and warmth from their photos! I felt this was the photographer I should book with. I like that there is in studio and outdoor options.

We had a great experience working with Anna. She took newborn and family photos, which turned out great.

I highly recommend Anna and would work with her again! read more

Anna was super friendly! She did a great job directing me for different angles since I'm not so good at taking photos. I mentioned that I wanted to have more flattering angles since I didn't want my weight to be so apparent. She did an awesome job choosing the right angles. She gave great advice for clothing, and I thought her protocols for jewelry and outfits was thorough. read more

We have seen Anna's work intermittently on a local parent board but this was our first time meeting her in person. She was very lovely and we enjoyed working with her and her staff for our family photos! She was great with our children and she had previously injured herself and did it all in a leg brace. Amazing! Thank you Anna for your time, professionalism and dedication. read more

My husband and I loved our photo session with Anna! We booked her for a newborn/family lifestyle photoshoot in our home. She did a great job guiding us through the photoshoot with our new baby. She also loved our two dogs and incorporated them into a lot of the photos. I feel awkward taking photos, especially only a week after having a baby, but Anna put me at ease. I highly recommend working with her! read more

Anna has been doing our yearly family photos for 3 years now. She has a wonderful eye and aesthetic. The quality of light is so important in photography and she is so skillful in using it. I love (and am so impressed) that she is able to really capture the joie de vivre of our 8 year old daughter. She is able to unobtrusively get some wonderful spontaneous shots, as well as more posed images. Anna is wonderful to work with - so mellow and relaxed, yet knowledgeable and assured. I absolutely trust her for beautiful images that we are always so happy with! read more

Our photographer moved away to the east coast and we had to research a new photographer for fall photos. Anna was so great with our super active 2 year old. We rarely get a decent portrait of him. We loved our family photos and the grandparents will be thrilled. Highly recommend Anna! read more

Anna was really great at finding good spots in our apartment and guiding us with poses to get some really great pictures of our little one.

I absolutely love working with Anna!. She did a fantastic job of capturing my family on film, even in the midst of the pandemic when we were all feeling a bit pudgy and disheveled. Ha!!! She is very patient and has a great eye. I love that we were able to get some posed photos as well as some spontaneous photos. Not only did I use her for my own family photos, but I also use her every year for my annual client appreciation event, where I gift my clients 20-minute mini photo sessions before the holidays so they are equipped with family photos for their holiday cards, or just to capture them on film every year. She is GREAT with my clients, providing mostly family photos, but also head-shots, maternity photos, pet photos, and newborn shoots. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna. read more

Anna did our newborn baby photos and we absolutely loved them. Initially, we were insecure about bringing our newborn out and about, but were instantly relieved upon meeting Anna. She was kind, patient and very caring. Our 1 wk old was a bit fussy at times but Anna was able to calm her. She was very detailed oriented in how she constructed the shoot and that really came through in the photos. She took extra time to make sure she got quality shots and variety, and we're so appreciative. I liked how easy it was to pick the completed photos we wanted to purchase. I highly recommend Anna. read more

Anna did a great job with our mini session. She captured beautiful pictures of our family and was able to get smiles out of my 2 boys. In just 30 minutes we got 15 photos that we love and have used for our holiday cards. read more

Anna has been taking our family photos for 5 consecutive years and we couldn't be happier with her work. She is patient, upbeat, creative and always gets the shot regardless of variable circumstances (rain, city interference, irritable kid behavior etc). She has actually converted us into being annual "family photo" people, which we certainly were not years ago before we met her. We would trust her with any photography needs in a heartbeat! read more

Anna is amazing!! Having been out of work due to the pandemic, I used the time to spruce up my resume and realized a new professional headshot could be a huge help too. Working with Anna was easy, fun and enjoyable. I hate posing for photos, but she captured the moments while casually chatting and had some helpful tips for posing that made me feel like I was more natural and comfortable. She has a great eye for what makes you stand out. I cannot recommend Anna enough and look forward to the day when I can work with her again! read more

We had our family photo session this weekend and can't wait to see the images! Anna was on time, communicative and patient with us as we tried to keep our young son amused and comfortable. She helped us keep his attention and she mixed up the shoot with posed and fun candid moments, naturally responding to what my son was reacting to positively. The Presidio was beautiful and going early at her suggestion made for beautiful light. read more

I do t know how she does it, but she captures the best moments. I also think I will just purchase a couple photos and buy the whole gallery every time. She is really is a professional and knows how to capture the personalities of each member of our family. Highly recommend her for your family sessions. read more

Anna is a miracle worker. She has a super sharp eye for candids and has been able to capture my kids, pets, and family in the studio many times over the years as well. We truly cherish the photos she has taken, and her patience and flexibility in managing hectic shoots involving humans and animals. I can't recommend her enough. read more

We loved our photo session with Anna! She had good ideas for posed and casual shots. When our kids, ages 6 and 3, needed reigning in, Anna could do something silly to quickly get their attention back on the camera. After she left my son said "I wish she could live with us and take our pictures all the time"! Me too! read more

Anna took newborn photos of our first baby and she was so lovely to work with! From the moment I reached out to her, she helped curate a photography package that would meet our family's budget and document our child's early life. We had our first session at her studio the week after giving birth and she made us feel at ease and our baby was in excellent hands. Our photos turned out to be amazing and they are so precious to us! She also presented them beautifully. We are excited to continue working with her as our family grows. read more

Best family photo sessions I've ever done! Anna effortlessly captures everyone at flattering angles in great light, and yet with minimal direction that keeps everyone at ease. We've had fun with it each time, and the results have been tons of natural, unposed and terrific shots. read more

Anna is so amazing with kids. She is great at directing their energy and excitement and capturing it in print. We've had other photographers and photosessions in the past, where I felt compelled to apologize for my kids' wildness and over excitement, and feeling like I needed to reign them in. But I never felt that way with Anna and her assistant. They knew how to give clear and strategic instructions to my young kids and recording this season of our lives. read more

This is the second year that Anna has photographed our family. She is patient with reluctant models and goes with the flow, changing plans when she sees a way to engage your child. read more

Anna is an amazing photographer and such a kind person! We hired her for a newborn photo session in our home and she made us feel at ease during our first photo session as a family. She was patient as our son had a few meltdowns and took beautiful photos of all of us, our puppy included. Can't wait to work with her again in the future! read more

We did a newborn photo session with Anna and it turned out amazing. She was so good with our baby, and took so many sweet photos. She had all the props and went through about five different settings for the photos. I loved that she had different package offerings at different price points that included framed photos so that the photos don't just sit on your computer or thumbdrive. We are definitely scheduling another photo session with Anna in a few months. read more

We are so grateful for the beautiful photos Anna took of our family... she captured some very sweet pictures when we were all just being ourselves and I cherish those candid moments. Somehow she managed to even take some photos with both of our children (and us) looking at the camera at the same time! She was so patient with our little family and came prepared with fun props and great ideas to keep the kiddos (three years and a walking one year old) engaged. The quality of the photos was awesome. I enlarged several favorites and they turned out beautifully. One of my photo artist colleagues actually said we had the most beautifully shot Christmas card he had ever seen. (Go to the botanical garden, it was magical). We can't wait to see how our photos turn out this year! read more
