Testimonials.
We had a terrific experience with Anora. We found her to be very professional! She worked with us and our chaotic schedule, was open to ideas for locations, and she was able to get real smiles from our son for his senior photos! We 100% recommend her for family and senior portraits. We’ll definitely schedule her for senior photos again with our other children. We loved every image she took.
— Matt & Lisa Claflin
Anora has been taking our family pictures for years. Two years ago we moved about two hours south. We still drive up at least once a year just to have her take our pictures. My daughter is on the autism spectrum and does not laugh or smile easily. It never fails within moments she has my daughter laughing and smiling which makes for the best pictures. I highly recommend her!
— Ashley Ochoa
You know in life you sometimes meet people and just go “WOW”? Anora is ABSOLUTELY one of those people! Her vision for that perfect picture is phenomenal. Her attitude is amazing, she instantly makes a person feel comfortable. She was super flexible which was important with my hectic schedule. The communication was top notch, I knew exactly what to expect and when to expect it. I am over the moon satisfied! 😁
