I saw Antoinette at the afternoon school pick up.

Our kids are in the same class, and so seeing her on the regular wasn’t unusual. (I also photographed her wedding about 6 years ago, so we go back!)

The difference was that I thought she had already given birth!

She walked over to me, beautiful belly and all, and told me she really wanted to be photographed, but thought she was too far along..

Never a thing I said!

“Once you’re feeling great, and not too lethargic, or tired, or in pain for any reason, I want to photograph you!”

Within days, Antoinette was in my Studio, and we were rockin it.

When I showed her the photographs, she cried.

She said “these photos are not just about the baby, they’re about me.
that’s me.”

This sure as hell is Antoinette.

Thank you my friend.. for letting me create this art for you, and for this little one..

Can’t wait to meet him or her..

I am the ULTIMATE empath and storyteller. 

Hey, I’m Aniya (Ah-Knee-Ya) – the ultimate empath and storyteller. 

That’s a weird combo, isn’t it?

Kind of, but not really. 

I have strong feelings about pretty much everything. And because of this, I know the value of a moment that needs to be photographed. 

My clients have coined me a “Connection specialist”, and I’ll happy take that. 

Whether I’m photographing your wedding, your family, or your awesome self in my studio, I’m feeling your feels, and making damn honest, beautiful photographs for you.

About ANIYA

Tattoos are my timeline. I play tennis, read vehemently, and travel the world. Sensual, empathetic, ex-criminologist, pretty good Italian speaker. Slightly irreverent. Terrified of white lizards and frogs. Kids and elders are my storytellers.
Dancing is joy; justice is non-negotiable.
