To the wonderful Jill: It was worth it, see? Giving baths, digging for clean clothes for three kids, wrangling them all in the car, choosing bribes, keeping them focused and just putting one foot in front of the other with three little kids while 9 months and counting. Look how beautiful you are!! I can’t…

Project Imperfect post #5 Faster Mommy !
A familiar view for me, as we shuffle down the road on some of our walks, on nights when she’s already PJ’d up and too tired to keep up. I actually don’t take her on runs in this; too annoying not to have my arms but she still likes going “super fast”. I love that…
Have you made a list? Checked it twice? Now’s the time to get your holiday portraits done, really!
Did you know that some people, those really annoyingly organized and on top of it kind of people, have already been in for their holiday photo sessions, have their cards chosen and have their gift shopping list checked off -beautiful prints of their kids for Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Marie? Seriously, there are people like…
Project imperfection, post #4. Bay Area family photographer.
I have a long list of wishes when it comes to being a mommy. I wish I was a better planner, I wish I was better at following through, I wish I had more time with my kids. But one thing I do get right is reading with my children. I love snuggling up with…
A little announcement! Images by Anna is now Anna Mayer
No, there wasn’t a wedding, and I’m not running from the FBI. When we moved our family to Milwaukee a little over a year ago, we thought a lot about how we wanted to approach running a high-end custom photography business here as we have in the Bay Area. Should we extend our California-based business, Images…
Project imperfection #3. On a walk in Milwaukee with a mommy photographer.
I ADORE my family walk time. One of the best parts of getting Mr. Oscar, the puppy extraordinaire, is that he needs at least one walk per day. Lucky me . . . time to go for a walk, kids! On this particular walk, I looked over as we passed this side street and saw…
A beautiful family in the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Oh, how I love my new home! Milwaukee is truly a gem of a city; one that certainly doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I love being a photographer here, capturing sweet families in a sweet city. Look at this adorable little family . . . aren’t they sweet? And our locations were pretty fun,…
Project imperfection. Milwaukee & San Francisco Bay Area photography.
The number one, most frequent and wistful question I get from happy clients is this: “Do you just take a million fabulous photos of your own kids, all. the. time?” To which I must answer a sad, shameful, “No, not really.” We’ve all heard the saying “The cobbler’s children have no shoes.” Well, unfortunately, oftentimes,…
Sweet little siblings. San Jose kids photography.
Awww. How can you not just say “Awww” to an image like this one? I first photographed Big Sister when she was one year old, four years ago. She was as beautiful as can be back then, as she is now (although she’s certainly gotten busier!). It was fun to see her new little brother,…
One Big Happy Family. Lake Michigan photographer.
When this lovely family called us, asking if we might be interested in a big multi-family session with three kids and a whole buncha’ adults, I wasn’t so sure. Kids are fun, free and natural, but adults are often much more difficult to capture having fun. And capturing FUN is what I am all about….
