For families across Maryland
A portrait experience built around connection.
Ana photographs families from Baltimore and surrounding Maryland in the Timonium studio and at outdoor locations. Each session is planned around the people, ages, and relationships you want to remember.
Browse the work below to get a feel for the approach. The Baltimore guide offers local details, while the contact page is the place to share your preferred month and family size.
Snapping a picture takes only a moment. Prepping up takes a few minutes. Posing may take a while. But, a mere glance at family photos lasts forever.
As a mom of two daughters, I know that better than anyone. But, here’s the kicker. The thing about newborn and baby photography is that it has an expiration date, even though it is something that marks the beginning of a complete family.
The starry gaze, the innocent smile, the cute playfulness last only as long as the kids don’t want to “grow up”. Luckily, parents come with an instinct to try and nurture this beauty for as long as possible.
Family photography is all about seizing the moment, but doing it all in a fun, relaxed way.
Sounds great? Well, it’s even better when you get the whole picture of how the photoshoot works.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
A family photography session is like a vacation trip to your favorite spot with someone there to capture your finest moments.
Basically, you’ll get to choose between either studio or outdoor photography, at your favorite spot in Baltimore, or other places in Maryland. Pick up the finest attire for your family, and come and have fun while I photograph you. It works like this.
The session takes about an hour. Mostly, we do it in the morning, and sometimes in the late afternoon. This is because it gives photos a higher quality, due to lighting, setting, and other photography-related factors.
After you choose whether you want to do it outdoors or in the studio, it’s time to work on portrait ideas. One of my favorite things about family photography is that it’s so collaborative. I love it when parents come up with their ideas for poses, props, and clothes.
This approach comes out of years of experience. A great photographer never shuts out the parents from the process. Actually, making them a part of it is the key to getting a photo people will ask you about all the time.
