Anais Photography is an experienced premier photographer based in Ashburton and Mid Canterbury, specializing in newborn, babies, children, maternity, and family photography. The specialty is in capturing stories for unforgettable memories, whether it’s your newborn’s first days, your baby’s first steps, or the excitement and discovery of all that is around them. Anais Photography provides a timeless approach focused on you and your family, giving you peace of mind knowing you will have the most beautiful memories to share and continually look back on.
The photography process begins with a pre-session consultation to discuss goals and create a plan for how portraits will be displayed in your home. This planning covers everything from what to wear to location selection, ensuring a successful portrait session every time. Anais truly believes that portraits should be beautifully displayed in your home, printed on the highest quality materials, and enjoyed every day. Whether it’s an album that can be handed down from generation to generation, a wall portrait that makes you smile when you pass by it every day, or a collection of images arranged in a wall gallery, planning before shooting ensures the end result meets your vision.
Newborn and milestone sessions take place in the studio with controlled lighting and temperature, plus a large selection of custom props and backgrounds offering a calm, relaxed, timeless, and polished look. Family sessions can be captured on location or in the studio, with on-location sessions at Ashburton’s beautiful parks or along the river making for amazing and unique images, especially if the location is meaningful to you. Sessions with Anais Photography are fun and relaxed. The approach embraces crazy kids because that’s when real personalities shine, with families dancing, jumping, hugging, and laughing naturally. After sessions, viewing and ordering appointments feature beautiful slideshows set to music, helping design perfect portrait art for your home with products you can touch and feel.
