## Caption

Hey there! It’s been a while since I’ve shown up here personally…

With so many new faces joining lately, I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself 👋

My name is Anna. Eleven years ago, my husband, our daughter, and I moved from St. Petersburg, Russia to the Bay Area - and it’s been home ever since.

📸 Photography has been close to my heart since childhood (I got my first camera on my 12th birthday!), but I stepped into it professionally just over three years ago, and haven’t looked back since.
These days, I specialize in capturing families with newborns and babies under one year old - mostly in-home sessions. Because, let’s be honest, nothing beats the comfort of your own space - your cozy bedroom, your favorite armchair, that soft blanket, and all the little things that make your home yours.

Why this niche?
When my son was born, I took hundreds of photos - mostly on my phone. But one day, my phone ran out of space, shut down, and never turned on again. I lost all the photos from the first six months of his life 💔😭💔 That experience showed me how precious and irreplaceable those early memories are, especially for moms!

My second passion? Soccer!⚽️ 
My son joined a competitive team this season, and that’s what inspired me to start learning how to photograph fast-paced action. 

Recently, I’ve been lucky enough to join the team of photographers on the sidelines at San Jose Earthquakes matches, combining my two loves: 📸 + ⚽️ 
I absolutely love the energy of the game and the atmosphere in the stadium. It’s electric!⚡️

👩🏼‍💻During the week, I work full-time as a Software Engineer and juggle kids’ activities - so I usually shoot on weekends. I recommend booking your session at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your spot, discuss ideas, plan outfits, and create a personalized mood board for your shoot.

If you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to message me!💬

Thanks for being here!🧡

P.S. Why this photo?
Because this is what I usually look like at photo sessions😅
