Hello and welcome to my website. 

My name is Anna Shirman. I am a photographer.

 For me, photography is about real life. It’s about moments, emotions, and the connection between people — not perfect poses.

I’m a wife and a mom to a big family, and family has taught me to see beauty in the simplest things: in glances, touch, and quiet moments together. I especially love photographing women through different seasons of their lives — when they are discovering themselves, falling in love, getting married, expecting a baby, and building a family — moments when life is changing, yet what truly matters stays the same.

During my sessions, my priority is that you feel calm and comfortable. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about looking “perfect.” I photograph in a way that allows you to simply be yourself.

My images aren’t about trends. They’re about memory, warmth, and love — the kind that stays with you for years.
