Newborn Arlowe

August 20, 2018 by Anise LeAnn in Family Portraits

Newborn portrait sessions typically happen at your home - sometimes even in 1 room! This session was 45 minutes of me hanging out with newborn Arlowe, and baby number 3 for one of my favorite families. We hung out in the living room, the girls showed me the balance beam, and there were lots of kisses and hugs for their new baby sister. All pictures were taken here in marin county. Total number of pictures for this shoot was 100, and the price for a newborn shoot, as of 2018 for 45 minutes is $350. Client will also receive a package of 4x6 prints.

Brooks 5 months!

This month Brooks started to sit up, and laugh! He was way more vocal, and has calmed down on the crying front. We love him more and more each day.

New fave location, centrally located in Marin: Hal Brown Park. Features: Mt. tam, park, vistas, path, grassy knoll, and forest type setting. This is a 1 year old shoot, so its filled with a lot of following baby's lead. Lots of running, and naturally playful images.

Yoga in Marin with Mt. Tam as our stage with Erika (link to her instagram). Its been so fun snapping Erika - I requested she wear a flowy dress for our next shoot, and her it is! I absolutely love the orange contrast with the hills.

Asher & Isa Wedding #2 in Tomales, CA

August 05, 2017 by Anise LeAnn in wedding

There are some weddings that change you, in a way, or remind you of parts of yourself that are your best parts, and that is the major draw for myself in shooting weddings. This wedding reminded me of the beauty of Paul Simon Graceland, being barefoot is underrated, and that food served in courses over the night with drinks and friends is really one of the most joyous things around. I feel like the Nora Ephron inside of me was bright and abundant. I never want to forget this wedding party.

Marin Ventures Summer Picnic

July 12, 2017 by Anise LeAnn in event photography

This is my third shoot for Marin Ventures. They hire me annually to cover events, and this year added their summer picnic to the schedule. It was a moving event, filled with laughter, and so much love. What a special place that exists for those who need it. There was live music, games, food, and the staff was so happy and generous.

Family Photography on Mount Tamalpais Pantoll Trail with Mill Valley Photographer Anise LeAnn

When Tereza & Cody suggested this year's family portrait session be held on Mt. Tam, I was a little apprehensive because of tourists, and I know their girls are still small (which basically means, short attentions for photos!), but Nick and I managed to find our our little corner of the Matt Davis Trail, next to the Pantoll trail, that was perfectly suited for families with small children. What we ended up capturing was life during this time when not everyone wants to smile, or even get their picture taken. I want T & C to look back a these photos and remember this moment in time with a feeling of fondness. Parenthood can be busy, but its so so so worth it!
