A: I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, thanks to parents who fueled my love for photography. However, it wasn’t until I had portraits taken of my then six month old son Eli during the quiet of COVID that it truly clicked-this is what I was meant to do. While the world paused, I dove headfirst into learning how to build a business, how to safely and professionally photograph people, and how to create an experience that felt just as meaningful as the photos themselves. In 2021, I launched ANE Photography, turning a lifelong passion into a way to help other families hold onto their most meaningful moments.

A: My in-home photography studio is located in Lombard, IL, and I proudly serve all of Chicagoland and the surrounding areas.

A: That's exactly right! To book, all you need to pay is your retainer fee of $250. At the reveal, you will have the choice of which collection you would like to purchase-that way, you get exactly what you want and only purchase what you love!

A: Absolutely! All digitals are available in packs of 5 for $350 but the best value truly comes when you choose to invest in printed artwork. Why? Because with any print purchase, you’ll have the option to purchase the full digital gallery at a special rate.

Instead of paying more for just a handful of images, you can walk away with every image and a beautiful piece of art to display in your home-the best of both worlds!

A: Absolutely! It’s important to me that you feel completely confident and excited about the quality of your photographs before making any purchases. Viewing examples of the  printed artwork in person provides valuable perspective, and all of this is handled during your reveal session.

A: Yes, you’re welcome to choose a payment plan through my processor, which accepts Klarna and Affirm. Alternatively, we can set up a custom payment plan via Zelle-whichever works best for you. 

A: Reveals are all in person at my studio in Lombard, approximately two weeks after your session. 

Unless there's a specific look you’d love that isn’t in my collection, there’s no need to bring anything at all. This is your time so go ahead and treat yourself! Get glammed up, book that hair appointment, refresh your nails, and if you want to elevate your look even more, feel free to bring a pair of heels and your favorite lipstick for a quick touch-up.

A: I recommend booking your maternity session between 28–34 weeks to ensure you're feeling comfortable but still showing off that beautiful bump. My calendar fills quickly so the sooner you reserve your spot, the better chance we have of securing your ideal date. Let me know if you'd like to check availability!

A: If you need to reschedule due to a personal emergency, illness, a positive COVID test, a pregnancy complication, or the loss of an immediate family member, just let me know as soon as you can. We’ll work together to find a new date.

A: I thought you'd never ask-I love this question the most! Just reach out through your preferred method and let me know you're ready to book. From there, we’ll start looking at dates and get everything set up!
