You deserve more than snapshots — you deserve the whole story. The story of how your family was born. How your heart shattered and reassembled, forever changed.

Anny, I look at these photos every day, and I’m in awe—I haven’t regretted for a second that you were with us on that day! I remember my doubts, but they were all in vain! I’m so happy these moments are preserved for us, and I’m amazed that every single one—even the difficult ones—is so aesthetic, so powerful, so beautiful! Goosebumps and overwhelming joy that this will remain in our family’s memory forever. ❤️ It’s such a treasure for me to revisit them—to remember some details, to relive others. To see the expressions on my husband’s face, the doctor’s, the midwife’s… I’m simply speechless.

A person’s life holds many important events. Birth is one of them. With care and respect for the parents, I create the story of a person’s life from their first breath. When looking through my photos, every mother can immerse herself in that day again and relive it—to feel the same emotions she experienced during childbirth.
My photographs tell a story of mothers’ incredible strength and courage, of fathers’ boundless love and support, of a baby’s first cry, and of the birth of Love.

Birth story the little boy

Marilyn Rose and her birth story

Birth story David

Birth isn’t only about welcoming a baby — it’s about watching parents step into their new roles with love and courage. The waiting, the quiet moments, the reassuring words, and then that first cry… every second is filled with emotion. This video captures the story of a family being born together.

Wonderful experience! We had the pleasure of working with Anna for our family photo session shortly after our baby was born, and we couldn't be happier with the experience and the results! We worked with Anna twice so far and will definitely work with her again in the future!

Anna was the photographer for my family photo shoot, and let me tell you, the photos turned out incredible! She was like a magic wand, capturing every single moment. I’m so grateful to have her as a photographer. She truly deserves to be the top photographer in Austin. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer.
