Let's put the fun in your family photo session!
north Dallas family & child photographer
I’ve always been drawn to the real, unscripted moments in family life. I’m a mom of four, and I have been photographing families for 20 years. Becoming a mother changed the way I photograph families. I learned quickly that the best moments don’t happen when kids are told to sit still — they happen when they’re free to be themselves.
That’s why my sessions are built around movement, curiosity, and connection. I follow your children’s lead, create space for real interactions, and capture the in-between moments that usually go unnoticed — the giggles, the squeezes, the quiet pauses.

Great question! A child-led photo session means we follow your kids’ lead. We’ll play, explore, and move at their pace. This is the secret to stress-free family photos. I’m not expecting your kids to sit still and smile—I actually prefer when they don’t! I’ve found that when kids are relaxed and having fun, those genuine moments of laughter, connection, and curiosity come naturally.
So if you’re worried that your child won’t “cooperate,” you’re not alone—and you don’t need to be concerned. My laid-back style lets your family be exactly who you are, while I quietly document the magic. I want your images to reflect the truth of your family: playful, tender, wild, and full of love.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Anna for our family portraits. She truly captured us beautifully and made the entire session feel easy, natural, and fun. She managed to capture real, candid moments that feel so us. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, patient, and incredibly talented, we can’t recommend Anna enough!

Working with Anna is great from start to finish. She is very skilled and patient, both very important traits when working with families with young children. I have always been blown away by the quality of pictures I receive from my sessions. Highly recommend!
