As mother we don't have beautiful imagery playing with our kids. We have family portraits, and babies’ first every things documented, but we don't have a portrait of our true selves with our children.
I create this space for You.
I want you to have a natural portrait for your kids to look at and say:
if you are a:
You want to be present and capture the quality time you have for your kids.
to perfectly document everything, but now you know priorities change and life with kids is messy…
Now, you are aware that, in order to be a better mom, you need to be a better human being.
of you connecting with your kids and capturing a perfect moment in time.
I’ve been there myself. Immersed in the corporate life, keeping up the scorecard at work, while juggling quality time with my family. I know there’s something better for moms.
The photographs Ana Elena created are beyond what I could have hoped for. You have managed tocapture those small looks and glances of love between my children and us. I’m sure that these imageswill only increase in meaning for us as the years pass. You have captured the essence of love between usand those moments of pure joy.

In my experience the most important part is to make you and your kids feel comfortable in front of my camera. I will guide you through the whole experience to make it as easy as possible for you. First, you pick your session type. Then, your collection, and I will take it from there until you receive your final presentations.
Creative fee starts at 275** and it is a non-refundable retainer, due to reserve your photo session date on my calendar.
Most of my photo sessions are 90-min long, but session type may vary based on number of kids or activities during the session. Each session includes one Co-Creation Consultation, one Image Reveal session, edition of your images and customization of your Collection, personal delivery of your final presentations, and the time I spend with you at your session.
All my Collections include an online gallery with high-resolution images and my Signature presentations. I carefully select and hand-edit each image, so they are perfect for printing for your walls or sharing with family and friends. Collections start at 975**.

Treat yourself, gift to a friend, or hey Do both !!
Some of my favorite moments from the shoot were the little moments. Hands touching while feeding a meal to my child, pausing to laugh while cooking dinner, our toddler crawling all over on the floor. These are the things I want to remember, and no other photographer has managed to capture them before. What great photos to have! I will keep Ana Elena in mind for future and would highly recommend her to capture your own simple everyday family memories.
