Introduction
Hello everyone, My name is Anna. I am a professional photographer with over four years of experience in commercial photography. I came to New York City in early 2023, and the city captivated me with its majestic architecture and crazy rhythm of life. Nine years ago, I graduated from art school with honors. Then I worked as a graphic designer for a long time. Four years ago my husband gave me a camera. From the first shots I took, I fell in love with the process of photography. I have been a professional photographer for over three years. During this time, I have developed my own style that focuses on simplicity and beauty. I would love to share my passion for photography with you.

I booked Anna to take a surprise photoshoot for my engagement and she was great. She was super responsive and helpful answering questions before the shoot. I am not familiar with the areas in NYC but she was knowledgeable and gave me several tips to help me choose the location and time. I loved the pictures she sent back and would recommend reaching out if you are looking for a photographer!

I hired Anna for a surprise proposal on the waterfront in Jersey City. I reached out about a month in advance of the planned date and Anna was professional and very helpful in deciding where and when (accounting for sun light) to propose for optimal photos. On the day of the proposal, she did an excellent job of blending in with the public while being positioned to get the perfect shot. She then stayed for about 30-40 minutes for staged engagement photos, guiding us through some staged shots and when we had ideas of our own, working with us to create the photos we wanted. It took Anna about 1.5 days to provide excellent, quality photos of the proposal and we're very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for engagement or proposal photos.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    If you want a discount from me, you can email me directly and I will give you a 5% discount. It is also possible to reduce the cost if you shorten the shooting time. I usually deliver the photos 2-3 days after the shooting. But if you need the photos earlier, I charge 30% more than the cost of the shoot.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    After a new client contacts me, I ask them to tell me exactly how they imagined the photo shoot. I can recommend the best time or location. I also help them choose clothes for the shoot. A new client can expect any help from me.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have an art background. I studied design for 4 years. It helps me with the color combination and composition of a photo. I have taken many photography courses and continue to learn every day.
