Why photos at home work better
A studio asks a lot of small kids. Home asks nothing. They already know where the good hiding spots are.
1
Kids are themselves
Their own room, their own toys, their own couch to jump on. Shy kids warm up faster and busy kids have somewhere to be busy.
2
Nothing to pack
No drive across town, no car seats, no bag of snacks and spare outfits. Nap ran late? You're already home.
3
It looks like your life
The kitchen bench, the big bed, the back step. In ten years these are the details you'll be glad are in the photos.
The At-Home Session
One hour at your place, done properly
Ana arrives, finds the good light, and spends an hour with your family doing ordinary things. Reading on the bed. Pancakes. Tickle fights. You see a sneak peek within 48 hours and your full gallery within 7 days, then you choose the photos you love.
Hold your date with a $150 deposit. The balance is due on the day of your session. You can pay it by bank transfer before, or on the day by transfer or cash. Paying cash? We do give a discount for cash, so check with us beforehand, and please have the correct change ready.
Pick a date and time, sign the agreement and pay your $150 deposit. It all happens on your phone.
Your prep guide arrives
A short what-to-wear and prep guide lands in your inbox, plus a few quick questions about your family.
Ana comes to you
She finds the best light in your home and follows your kids' lead. You don't need to clean.
Gallery within 7 days
Three sneak peeks within 48 hours, then your private gallery. Choose your favourites.
Included with every session
See it on your wall before you buy a print
While she's at your place, Ana photographs your favourite wall. When your gallery is ready, you can see your own photos on that wall at real size before you order anything.
No guessing whether a print is too small for above the couch. No pressure either. Every session includes a $50 print credit if you do find one you love.

I'm the photographer behind Studio Tres, and I'm the one who knocks on your door.
I photograph families at home because that's where kids are most themselves. I'm not looking for perfect outfits or perfect behaviour. I'm looking for the way your youngest leans on you, and the face your eldest makes just before they laugh.
My job is to make the hour easy for you. You open the door. I'll take it from there.
No. Please don't. Ana only needs one corner at a time, and she'll move the washing basket out of frame herself. Toys on the floor are part of the story. Your prep guide has two or three small things that do help, and none of them involve a mop.
What if my kids won't cooperate?
Then we slow down, have a snack and try something else. Nobody is asked to sit still and say cheese. And if it really isn't their day and we can't get the shots, Ana comes back and reshoots for free. That's the Kid-Proof Guarantee.
Our house is small, or a bit dark. Will it work?
Yes. Ana works with natural window light, and one decent window is enough. Small homes photograph well because everyone ends up close together. If the weather is kind, the backyard or the front step can join in too.
What should we wear?
Comfortable clothes in soft, plain colours that go together without matching. Bare feet are welcome. You'll get a short what-to-wear guide by email as soon as you book, so there's no guessing.
Will you post photos of my kids online?
Only if you say yes. When you book you choose one of three options: happy for Ana to share, share in a limited way (website and portfolio only, no social media), or keep everything private. We never publish surnames, addresses or school names, and you can change your mind later. The founding price is the one exception: it's offered in return for letting Ana share your photos.
What if someone is sick on the day?
Message Ana and we move your session to another date for free. Sick kids don't make happy photos, and nobody wants a cold passed around.
