Helping people preserve life’s most emotional moments —no posing, no pretense, just raw beauty.
— Anna Smirnova

Meet Anna, your Austin storyteller for life’s most meaningful moments.
Hi there! I’m Anna, a Russian-born visual artist with a decade of experience documenting raw, beautiful human stories. After building a thriving photography business in Russia — where I captured 200+ births — I now call Austin home. Here, I’ve fallen in love with Texas light, open-hearted communities, and helping passionate people like you shine.
What I Offer
For Growing Families:
- Birth photography (hospital & home) — documenting first breaths with discreet artistry
- Fresh 48 sessions — those irreplaceable first days at the hospital/home
- Maternity portraits — celebrating your strength and glow
- Newborn baptisms — preserving spiritual milestones
For Professionals & Creators:
- Authentic Branding Sessions — tell your business story through intentional imagery
- Headshots That Speak — move beyond “corporate mugshots” to portraits with presence
- Content Creation — cohesive visuals for your website/social media
Why Clients Trust Me:
- Emotional Intelligence: Whether it’s a birth or boardroom, I read the room
- Dual Expertise: Trained in both documentary and commercial styles
- Your Rules: Private sessions never shared without consent
- Texas-Approved: Fluent in both medical protocols (for births) and professional branding needs
My approach:
Your brand photos should capture the spark that makes your work unique — not just sterile professionalism. Your birth story deserves to be remembered with all its real, messy glory. Both require:
- Authentic Connection (I don’t just say “cheese”)
- Artistic Precision (every shadow and highlight intentional)
- Emotional Safety (you’re seen, not staged)
Let’s create precios images
Currently booking:
- Spring 2025 births (limited availability)
- Bluebonnet season (April)
- Branding sessions (studio or Austin locations)
- Quarterly headshot marathons for entrepreneurs
