About Anela

Capturing memories that last a lifetime

I photograph babies, kids and the families around them. My sessions are calm and unposed — snack breaks, wiggly toddlers and all. The goal is never a perfect picture, it is the way your people actually are right now.

Every gallery is delivered online with a print release, so you can print, share and frame your photos however you like.

Anela came to the location before us to make sure everything was ready to go. Coming with little kids, it was a rush leaving the house, and when we got to the park there was nowhere to park. I called Anela in a panic and she reassured me everything would be alright and that she would just walk to us and find a new spot. If you're someone with little kids you know how stressful things can be. The pictures speak for themselves. Anela is very caring, positive and patient. My family will always go to her.

We are a family of 3 and were recommended to reach out to Anela for a family photoshoot to celebrate our daughter turning one year. Anela made the session fun, easy, and comfortable! She also maintains a clean and safe area. She's energetic, attentive, and professional. Our daughter was comfortable around her as well. Anela was a joy to work with! Highly recommend!!

I booked a photoshoot with Anela for 6 month photos of my daughter. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Anela is so pleasant and professional and really knew how to make my baby smile and feel comfortable. I will definitely be booking again with her!
