Meet Anais Ganouna, Anais Ganouna Photography

By AgustinaP Sunday May 15, 2011

Meet Anais Ganouna, whom I’ve labeled the “Child Whisperer.” She’s mastered the art of distraction with children; she knows how to keep them entertained and focused in order to get the best possible photographs.

Anais graduated with a degree in Film and Photography, but minored in Child Developmental Psychology. Put a woman with that education, plus a brother who’s 13 years younger than her, behind a camera and you’ve got the perfect formula to get a great photograph of your child.

The more Anais photographed kids, through trial and error, the more she realized that child photography was her strong suite. She learned that newborns between three and seven days are the most artistic subjects to shoot. She says that they’re very flexible and can better maintain a folded or curled position.

What she enjoys most about being a child photographer is that photography is a very personal part of someone’s life and she wants to be the one that helps capture certain moments that families will treasure for years.

Even though Anais specializes in child photography, she also does events and boudoir sessions. She has a portable studio that allows her to work on location and shoot wherever her client is most comfortable. However, she highly recommends that newborns stay at home for their first close-ups.

Since a photo session is very personal, Anais makes it a point to make everyone as comfortable as possible before, during and after the photo shoots. She encourages a consultation before each session in order to get to know each other better. If an in-person consultation is difficult, she’ll meet over the phone. She takes this opportunity to show samples of her work, schedule a location for the shoot and discuss outfits.

Clients can see their proofs on her password-protected online gallery within 24 hours of their shoot.

On a budget? Not a problem. You can find her on deal sites like CoupTessa or sign up for her email list where she provides you with various specials.
