AT Studios

After a little research I decided to go with Ani as her sessions fit my budget and preferences. Ani is a great, experienced photographer. At first I was doubtful about myself of hiring a photographer unsure of how the whole experience will be as this is my first time hiring a photgrapher.
Ani was great from the start, she has a organised way of working with her customers and always makes it a point to address the customers preferences. She help me choose the colors, outfits based on the locations which I thought is great.
My maternity shoot and newborn session/​photos were absolutely stunning. Ani is well-​trained to handle newborns and is really patient. I can not say enough on how well the photos came out. Ani did an excellent job and I definitely would like to work with Ani again in future.
One plus point is — Ani prefers to do Newborn sessions at customers home, which I think is a huge plus and is very convenient.
Thank you Ani, for capturing our special moments so wonderfully! :-)

Having a photoshoot for your baby is a very thorough process with Ani because she is passionate about photography. I chose her because her photos were displayed at the birth center where I delivered and I liked her style and quality of work.
Ani firstly is so beautiful! She’s was so well put together and pretty when arriving for our session. She had all the equipment needed and knew what I was looking for through extensive consultations beforehand. She can work with almost any space in your home.
PROS:
–Very professional and personal service
–Very sweet person overall, calm energy
–Handles baby with natural instincts
–Extremely patient
–Cute props
–Dealt with poop accidents no worries
–Does not rush or make you feel so
–Photos turned out great
–Timely and constant communication
–Great follow up
CONS:
My main reason for not giving 5 stars is her print pricing and release of photos policy. I was extremely disappointed to learn that you can’t have any digital files of your own baby’s photos. You must meet with her and pick the ones you like and buy them through her only, and they are much more costly than what you’ve come to know prices to be at say, Costco Photo or even Shutterfly. Even more disappointed to learn that after paying hundreds of dollars for a few photo prints, I still couldn’t have the digital files for even those photos that I paid dearly for on top of the session price itself. It was such a bummer to know that probably a hundred photos were taken of my baby, and I couldn’t have any of them, even to keep in a dusty folder on my desktop. This policy meant that for someone like me on a budget, I had to sit and make hard decisions on which photos to buy the smallest possible print for, while letting the others that I liked go, because I couldn’t pay $ 55-​$ 475 for every single one I liked. I picked my favorite one and paid $ 185 for that 16×20 then picked some smaller ones at $ 55 each. I didn’t like the texture of the print either. They’re called «fine art prints» but feel like a hardened laminate posterboard with some kind of crosshair texture (hard to explain). After a $ 280 session fee it starts to really add up. You do have the option to get 15 retouched digital files for your own printing freedom for a whopping $ 1,200. This was such a big deal to me because I’m so sentimental and letting go of every photo taken of my baby because I couldn’t pay such marked up print costs was heartbreaking. She gives you a webshare low resolution digital file to ensure you can’t have it printed without looking terrible, but can email to friends and family for fun.
The only other con to report is that she needed my help with the shoot. Holding the baby in position, sometimes awkwardly squatting to do so for extended periods, and after just having had a baby all natural with no medication, I was exhausted and couldn’t even sit without pain let alone kneel and squat to help with the shoot, but did it anyway because I cared about the photos turning out nicely. She might have asked because I seemed cool and maybe if I said I was in pain she would have figured it out herself but the things I was asked to do needed to be done honestly, so she should have an assistant. If you have no budget, Ani is perfect because she otherwise is a wonderful photographer and kind person.

First things first!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ani’s work she did a completely amazing job. She captured my 1^st newborn amazingly. My husband and I are truly satisfied with Ani’s work. Shes very professional and super sweet. Words just can’t describe how happy I am with her work. Ani also took my maternity photos as well, it was such an incredible experience it was very difficult to choose between the photos because they were all incredible. I have already booked my daughters 1 yr photo session and I can’t wait for the amazing experience. Thank you Ani

Ani captured some beautiful moments of our family. Her patience and professionalism put us all at ease — from our teething 7 month old to our skittish Shiba Inu mix! She guided us through each shot to ensure that we had some natural, candid moments. We now have beautiful portraits that we and our family will treasure forever.

After some Unilocal searches, I went with Ani.
And all I can say is Amazing! It’s my and my husband first born so We have no experience in this so We were a little nervous about it.
Ani is so talented, professional and knowledgeable in everything «baby»! She had so many different outfits and props to choose from. She was patient and gentle with my baby boy which was a major bonus! I felt super comfortable working with her and my baby was happy too! I truly am so pleased with the way the shoot went. She clearly loves her job and it shows in her dedication and work. I was very happy with the pictures.

Ani of AT Studios is a true artist. Everything from choice of props, composition, lighting, and final touches — create a beautiful image worth sharing on the wall.
Though most of her portraits are newborns and babies, I had her take some portraits of me, and her easy direction and guidance helped create awesome images! She made it a fun comfortable shoot.
I love referring her to friends who have babies, b/​c her work just stands out! It’s terrific.

My husband and I kid around and call Ani the «baby whisperer» she is so gentle and has a way with babies that is amazing. We loved how she came to the house and was so flexible with the last minute photos that we wanted. She took her time, didn’t rush, and really gave us her all. You can’t go wrong with Ani, our photos are perfect!

Ani was fantastic! The pictures she took of my 4 and 7 year old were beautiful!

Ani truly is TALENTED at what she does! We had photos taken of our 21 month old daughter for the first time. Our daughter is a very active toddler, so we chose an outdoor location :) Ani was fantastic! She kept our daughter interested and really knew how to work with her. We are so incredibly happy with our photos! Ani was very professional and punctual through the whole process. It was so hard to chose the photos we wanted cause they were all so great! Pleasure to work with and will definitely use her again for our family photos in the future :)

This is my 1^st review and I never review anything but I feel Ani my child’s photographer deserves a great review. I wanted to photograph my son for his 1 yr. I had a rough idea of what I wanted, so I called Ani for a consultation and she immediately just blew me away. She completely understood me. She was also very knowledgable about how to take the best pictures, when and where! She had everything figured out! And that told me she had been doing this for a while and most important she is so patient, and with my son that was a must. Ani is the greatest photographer she has such an eye for detail, she can look at a certain place and know weather or not it would be a good place to photograph, she understands shadows, angles, lighting all that technical stuff! I was amazed by how knowledgeable she is! She’s such a sweetheart also so calm and patient, soft spoken I just loved meeting her and was glad she photographed my son. The finished product was amazing she did a wonderful job, my son looks beautiful in those portraits! I can’t even say enough about her professionalism, her photography, her work! But I will say you will not regret choosing her for all your photography needs! You will be very very pleased!

Ani is fantastic! Skilled, professional, friendly, and very reliable!
Our family hired Ani during the holidays to take a family photo. Not only did she help with wardrobe choices and location placements, she spent extra time during the busy season to ensure we had all the photo combinations we wanted. Such a great experience. I highly recommend Ani for your family photos.

Ani came to our home when our twin boys Kai and Coleman, were 16 days old and approached the photo shoot with tremendous gentleness, patience and humor. When our orders arrived, not only were they hand delivered by Ani, beautifully and impeccably packaged but the photographs, albums and slide show brought tears to our smiling eyes. This kind of class and care is what makes Ani a true artist and a gem.

The best photographer by far… she can see so much and is so creative. Amazing with my family and such a joy to be around. As a Mom I have been extremely pleased with the photographs that Ani of AT studios has taken of my children. Our outdoor location was beautiful and we had plenty of photos to work with. The day of my shoot it must have been about 101 degrees out. Considering the weather conditions we had a blast! She is patient, professional, qualified, creative, affordable and loves what she does… these are all things I look for in a photographer. I’d hire Ani again in a heartbeat. Thanks Ani !!

I wish I can add stars! Ani is an amazing photographer and such a caring individual ! Very detailed in her work and took the most adorable pics of my newborn! Would greatly recommend!!!

Don’t look any further. Ani will bring out the best, you will be so happy with the photos she takes. Very talented and very professional.

Ani and I move in the same circles in the birth community, and she is always such a pleasure to run into. She is always professional, friendly, and sincere. Her work is beautiful, too!
I sat for a headshot with her recently, and her positive attitude and non-​judgemental vibe were really comforting and made the shoot quite a success. I am very pleased with the final results.
Be sure to check out all of her other reviews that Unilocal!is not recommending due to their algorithm, too!

Ani has been taking portraits of my daughter for three years now, and her work is always amazing. She is patient, easygoing, professional and accommodating. Her photos are exceptional, above and beyond expectation, and I’m always thrilled to give them as gifts to friends and family. My daughter loves her as well. Not only does she make beautiful art, she always remembers the things my daughter likes and makes us both feel extra special.

I couldn’t have been happier with my experience with Ani. She was so sweet and patient with my son. She was very professional and I felt so comfortable with her handling my baby! Her pics are gorgeous and I would absolutely refer her to anyone.

It was a total coincidence that Ani and I met but as faith would have it I was looking for a photographer at the time. One look at Ani’s work and I knew she was exactly the kind of photographer I was looking for, not to mention how detailed and professional she was before the shoot. She emailed me everything I needed for the shoot, which was a huge help. She was so patient and sweet with my daughter. The shoot went better than I could have imagined and the photos were to die for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing my daughters personality in the beautiful pictures. You exceeded my expectations and beyond!

Our family booked Ani for a photo shoot at Descanso Gardens. Although my kids were causing havoc she remained calm and professional at all times. She was very clear in detail from the beginning and walked me through the process of what to expect and what to do the day of. She also emailed me a long list of things to make sure of before the photo shoot. It was very helpful. When she arrived at our house with the pictures and slideshow she took our breath away! Her work is AMAZING!!! She is a true professional and I cannot wait to recommend her to friends and family!
