How long has it been since you've freshened up your family portraits? As life usually gets in the way, for most families, it's been a while. Here at ANE, I have a great workflow that allows for posed portraits as well as those more authentic moments to be captured. All that's missing is YOU!

What a fun loving bunch! It's the second time photographing this family and it's so nice to see the girl's growth. Even better, I got to meet the new prince! Although the weather was cooler than expected, these kiddos pulled through their session with smiles on their faces. As always mom and dad looked fantastic!
have fun
Last time I photographed these boys, the youngest wasn't walking yet. This year was extra special seeing the boys explore the park together and seeing how the little one was obsessed with my bench! These boys had a blast playing some games to capture some authentic moments as well as getting some posed portraits!
Spring fun
The ribbens
These girls will rule the world one day! Their fun loving personalities made this session so special. Their love for nature was evident and made for good prompts! Mom and dad were a pleasure to work with as well!

The Family Experience
Almost nothing feels better than looking at pictures of your children throughout the years. They bring back memories of things you may no longer remember but with just one photograph all the core memories come flooding back. With ANE's digital package, you can share the love with unlimited downloads and sharing of your private online gallery. That way family and friends who you hold close to your heart but live far away can also see and enjoy how your family grows throughout the years.
Don't let the years go by, update your family portraits today!
Just like with any of my other sessions, scheduling ahead of time will be your best interest. This ensures the date you want is available and we have enough time in between when you book and the session to help you coordinate outfits.
To inquire, a complimentary 15 minute over the phone consultation is needed to determine availability and reassurance that we are right fit for each other.

3. Planning it
You're session is here and all the planning can be left behind! My workflow starts off with the whole family and slowly starts zoning in on pairs and individuals. That way everyone is captured and things are always changing so that little ones stay engaged. Have a child whose uncooperative? No problem, we'll take mom and dad's pictures while they're running around. The last thing I want is a stressful session, so relax, enjoy it and let me handle the rest. I'm incredibly patient and love working with families!

The Investment Details
I never had the chance to take processional pictures taken but being able to have my maternity, new born, and family pictures with ANE Photography was truly a blessing and such a heartwarming experience for me and my family! Carmen is very professional and such a great, charismatic, and joyful photographer. Having a toddler trying to take picture is very stressful at times but yet working with them it brought out his little personality! Definitely recommend and will be going with ANE Photography for my future family and kid pictures!
Maternity session

I just want to say Alejandra is super personable and very talented at her craft. You can tell that she is passionate about photography by how patient and attentive to detail she is. My newborn was very fussy during the photoshoot and Alejandra was very understanding and even helped me soothe my newborn. There are not enough words to describe how amazing each and every photo that Alejandra took is. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and of course expressions. She had so many wonderful props and was able to do so much!! I cried at how wonderful my newborn's photographs came out and I will cherish them forever. I 100% recommend her.

Carmen made our first family photo shoot a wonderful experience. She was super responsive to my emails and took the time to help me decide on which backdrops to use for the shoot. She is professional, personable, and great with kids. My daughter constantly asks when we can go see Carmen again and take more pictures. Our photos are beautiful. She gave great direction and posed us perfectly. Everything from the lighting and the angles exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be booking with her again!
