ANNA LOBANOVA
I photograph stories about people and their emotions — how they feel, or how they long to feel. Whether you’re looking for a personal portrait session or want to share the experience with someone you love, you’re always welcome here.
Today, a photoshoot is about more than beautiful images. It’s a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself and what truly matters, and see yourself through someone else’s eyes. Sometimes that’s all it takes to notice the beauty that gets lost in everyday life.
10 Reasons to Choose Me as Your Photographer
1. No Experience Needed
Most of my clients don’t step in front of the camera very often — many are doing a photoshoot for the very first time. My goal is to make the whole experience feel easy, relaxed, and completely stress-free, so you leave not only with beautiful photos, but also wanting to do it again.
2. I’ll Guide You Every Step of the Way
You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you throughout the session, help with your posture, hands, and expressions, and keep your mind busy so nothing feels awkward. If needed, I’ll happily demonstrate every pose myself.
3. Let’s Bring Your Ideas to Life
Whether you have a clear vision or just a vague feeling of what you’d like, I’ll help shape the idea into something real. I love brainstorming concepts and finding creative ways to make them happen. If your dream is a wedding session on top of a mountain, we’ll carry the outfits up the mountain.
4. A Relaxed Experience
I don’t believe in forcing perfect poses. You can move a lot or barely move at all, laugh, eat, read, dance, swear, smoke, or simply be quiet. What matters most is capturing who you are — or who you want to be in that moment.
5. More Than Just a Photoshoot
I love building sessions around real experiences instead of staged moments. Horse riding, painting, tennis, dancing, cooking, wandering through your favorite streets… When you’re genuinely enjoying yourself, the photographs become honest memories, not just beautiful pictures.
6. Real Conversations Matter
Photography isn’t only about how you look — it’s about how you feel. Getting to know each other during the session helps me understand your personality, mood, and story, making the photographs feel much more authentic.
7. Behind-the-Scenes Video
During every session, I capture a few short cinematic videos on my camera/phone, so you’ll have beautiful footage to create a Reel or simply relive the experience while waiting for your gallery.
8. I’ll Help You Prepare
From choosing locations and outfits to recommending makeup artists, stylists, florists, or sourcing props — I’m happy to help with every part of the preparation. Great photographs often begin long before the camera comes out.
9. Any Weather, Any Light
Bright midday sun, rain, fog, or low light don’t scare me. I see them as creative opportunities rather than obstacles. If the idea calls for lying in the middle of the road or getting our clothes wet by the sea, I’m all in.
10. A Beautiful Online Gallery
Your photographs are delivered in a private online gallery that’s easy to browse and download. You can mark your favorites, choose the download size, and share the gallery with your family and friends.
