Anna Rae Photography
Family
Real connection, captured in your everyday moments.
Family photos shouldn't feel like a chore. I photograph families across New York City, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania — at a local park, in your backyard, or right at home. That includes every stage of a growing family: maternity sessions celebrating your pregnancy, newborn sessions in those first sleepy weeks, and everything after.
As a registered nurse and an aunt, I'm genuinely at ease with babies and little ones. Infants, wiggly toddlers, and kids who won't sit still are all welcome — we'll move at their pace, with breaks whenever anyone needs one. I keep direction light so kids can be kids and you can actually be present, pairing a few composed portraits with the real, in-between moments.
Every session includes a 15-minute planning consult and 75 edited images in a private online gallery.

Frequently asked questions
My kids won't sit still for photos — is that a problem?
Not at all — some of the best family photos come from movement and play rather than posed sitting. We'll build the session around what your kids actually enjoy.
Where do family sessions take place?
Wherever feels most like you — a local park, the beach, or right at home. We'll talk through options during booking based on the look you're going for.
Do you offer maternity and newborn sessions?
Yes — maternity and newborn sessions are part of our family offering. Maternity sessions are usually best between 30 and 34 weeks, and newborn sessions in the first two weeks, at home where your baby is most comfortable. Mention your due date in your inquiry and we'll plan around it.
How many people can be part of a family session?
As many as you'd like — immediate family, multigenerational groups, even the family dog. Let us know your group size so we can plan enough time.
