20 years ago today I became a mommy for the first time. 20 years ago my life changed forever…for the better. Being a mommy (and now a mommy of 5) is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love every single moment of it. Even what are considered the “bad” moments. Even at 3 am when my 7 year old has puked for the fourth time or I am on treatment number 3 of my son’s nebulizer. I have a three birthdays being celebrated this month. Kyle turns 20, Zack turns 12, and Rya turns 14. To celebrate my special month with you, I want to document YOUR special moments. At a special rate.
Book your session with me (newborn, 3 month baby, 6 month baby, 1 year old, family) by March 13th (my daughter’s birthday) and you will receive the following rates:
**sessions must take place before July 31)**
Session Fee: $140
10% off your final order
You must mention that you saw this offer on either Facebook or my Blog to receive these rates. Contracts and session fee deposit (1/2 session fee) must be received by March 25th.
Already my client? Had a recent session with me? You will be receiving a special gift of your own as a personal thank you in the mail within the month

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

peace and much love ♥ anya
Needless to say it is a very long, drawn out, probably exceedingly boring story about the journey life takes us when we least expect it. However, the million dollar question seems to be…… “Are you still taking clients”? And the answer is YES! I am still taking clients. And I am going to show off some of the gorgeous clients I have taken on…. starting with one of my fave little men, Nadav. I had the pleasure of photographing him at 6 months of age and was blessed once again when he turned one…..


peace and much love ♥ anya
taking a little time off……..smelling the flowers (or maybe those are dirty diapers???)

Hello dear blog readers! I am writing to let everyone know that I have decided to take a bit of time off. I did not realize how significantly I would be affected by our move up north. Having kids at home all the time through the summer, reorganizing a new house, hubby having a new job, getting the kids settled in their various new schools, etc….. has required me to be so busy with my home life that I am unable to find the time for a professional life.
I will be compiling a waiting list for clients who would like sessions after October, 2009. Current clients of mine who have already discussed sessions with me do not need to worry
I will still be photographing your family/wee ones as promised.
Alas I have no image to post as all of my images are on my Mac which is currently being utilized as a kiddy daycare.
peace and much love ♥ anya
well, I’m movin’ on up… | madison wi and wausau wi newborn photographer

Yup, you read that right. I am moving. Well, actually, I already moved. To the east side…..of Wausau, Wisconsin. To a deluxe castle-home in the north-woods. Filled with deer, wild turkey, bears, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and various ground squirrel and mouse that our cat-hunter decides to bring home as a “present”. So what does that mean for my lovely Madison clients???? It means that once a month I schedule Madison sessions!!!! Or at a discounted price you can come up to me and have your photographs taken in my beautiful prairie and woods OR in my lovely natural light home studio. Just contact me for details.
In other news, have you been trying to get ahold of me via phone???? If so, please email me as my phone service since I have moved has “sucked” for lack of a better term. In fact, Verizon is even willing to let me out of my contract it sucks so bad. I haven’t been able to pick up messages well, make phone calls, etc…. So while I search for another service (yes, AT&T and the rockin I-phone 3G are in my sights!!!!), please contact me via the contact page on my website or by emailing anya@anyawait.com and I will get right back to you
To top all this contacting me stuff off, my address doesn’t exist on the postal service map OR mapquest. So UPS and FED EX have had a crazy time attempting to deliver my orders. I have chased boxes all over the country and back and am now FINALLY receiving stuff so that I can complete orders and mail them off. Double, triple and quadruple UGH!!!! I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
And because I cannot post without an image……as well as the fact that I literally have not gotten my camera out since we moved…..here is an lovely image copyright my 5 year old daughter Annika. She took this and “processed” it with photobooth on the Mac. And I am in LOVE with it.
Enjoy!

love and peace ♥ anya, annika, rowan, and daddy’s rear end

It is going to be one crazy newborn fiesta this week as I have 3 (yes, 3!) more newbies to photograph this week and one that I think is still in mama’s belly waiting to arrive
This big sister could not WAIT to be photographed with her little baby sister. To top it off, she showed me some acrobatics on my beanbag that I am hoping (cross my fingers) my Annika and Rowan never figure out. Otherwise we will probably spend a lot more time than we already do at the “Doctor Store”….as Annika refers to the Emergency Room. LOL!

Snug as a bug in a rug!

Daddy’s little girl….

A little mommy love….

Peace and Love ♥ Anya

and the only prescription….. is more cow bell.
So if you have tried to post comments, etc…. and it isn’t working or you don’t see your comment…or your comment suddenly came out in some odd language, I apologize. I may have to move my blog to another domain so that I can keep my lovely website while at the same time have this blog (very long story).
And if you don’t quite get my cow bell reference or want a good laugh, see link below
One of my fave skits of all times….seriously….I have watched it probably 20 plus times and I still laugh my *&^ off.
peace, love, and cow bell ♥ anya
