Welcome!
Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog. My passion lies in capturing artistic black and white images of pregnant mamas, newborns, and babies. The business of anya wait | photographer was born out of combining my two loves, black and white photography and babies. Here you will find sneak peeks of my most recent client sessions as well as general musings about my life as a busy mommy of 5.
Please feel free to leave comments, as I love to "feel the love" from others around the world.
Love and Peace,
I have never done mini sessions before and was a little hesitant when my wonderful PR/marketing lady Ms. Jennifer Braun suggested it. Needless to say, I had the BEST time with 10 wonderful families! To top it off, since this was also a charity promotion, this means that 10 sessions (by yours truly) have now been donated to the Male Involvement Project of the Dane County Parent Council. I can’t WAIT to meet these wonderful families as well 
Since I took a zillion images and I have only so much room, here is a mini sample. If you click on the little hearts to the left, that will direct you to my Facebook Business Page where you can see more!
the lovely Barker children….their parents own the McFarland House Cafe

I had the pleasure of photographing this little sweetie two weeks ago and this is the first chance I have had to blog some images from her session! We had a lot of fun hanging out together as you can tell
…but then she saw my sleep inducing ways … ok, maybe mama’s milk had a ‘little’ to do with it …
I wonder what she is thinking…. (?)
peace and much baby love, ♥ anya

I had the best time photographing and hanging out with these sweet little triplet boys this weekend! They were not so interested in my devious plans to get them all not only sleep all at once…but let me manhandle them all at once They were ON to me! Regardless, I just ADORE the last image of them. Thanks guys!
much love, peace, and kisses ♥ anya

Happy Mother’s Day! A tribute to all of you who have forever chosen to wear your heart outside your body 
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I am forever grateful.
Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while,
but their hearts forever – unknown

We had the pleasure of having dinner with some wonderful Wisconsin doc’s this past week… Their home was a kid paradise…with none other than a pony and a beautiful horse! Annika was insistent that she be able to hop on the pony. Mommy was insistent (of course) that she get some pictures. Mommy was also thrilled to discover that young child on pony = no running away from photos. YAY!
This pose was all Annika’s idea …
all this crazy dude would let me get of him…little nut!
peace, and much (pony) love ♥ anya

This past year I have walked into past client homes for second, third, and even fourth sessions…and it has been such a joy to see my work hanging proudly in their homes. My favorites are big canvas…and I could not wait to see how Elissa’s mama and daddy had hung this one. You can really never go wrong with a large canvas. It is one big beautiful piece of art…that represents YOU! Soon I will share how one of *my* fave photographers, who photographed my family this past October, decorated my home with canvas. I walk in my home every day and smile at the gorgeous art work that is *my* beautiful family.
peace and much love (of art) ♥ anya

…and here are a few of my absolute FAVE’s!!!
nothing like a little cake tossing…
