Hi, my name is Anna Childs and I'm a photographer and mother based in the Chicagoland area.

With over 10 years of photography experience and a background in visual arts, performance, and childcare, I understand what it's like to be both behind and in front of the camera (all the while trying to get your three-year old to smile).

My approach tends to be relaxed and lightly guided. Sometimes I'll offer a bit of direction when needed, but I really believe that the best moments happen in between: the way your child reaches for your hand, the silly faces and big smiles, and all of those little moments that actually say the most.

If candid, natural family photography feels like your style—something a little less posed and a little more you—then we'll likely be a great fit! At the end of the day, I'm here to help you capture your story as it is, and preserve the moments you'll want to hold onto for years to come.

If you're interested in booking a session with me, you can reach me at: annachilds.contact@gmail.com

Looking forward to capturing your story, in bloom!
