Anaeka Photography

Anaeka is a specialist family photographer based in Burton upon Trent, known for soulful, light and airy images that celebrate real family life. Her work focuses on capturing candid, documentary-style moments — the quiet snuggles, the joyful play, the tiny expressions that disappear too quickly. If you want family portraits that feel authentic rather than posed, Anaeka’s relaxed, child-led approach creates a warm atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can unwind. What makes Anaeka different is her blend of professional experience and gentle, playful direction. Trained originally in a detail-orientated profession, she brings a calm, organised presence to each shoot and prides herself on creating sessions that are fun for children and stress-free for parents. Her signature style is true-to-colour and naturally lit — no odd filters or heavy-handed edits — resulting in timeless images that work beautifully on the family wall or in an album. Anaeka offers a variety of family-focused sessions to suit different stages and needs: relaxed on-location family shoots that document everyday activities and outings, cosy in-studio Cake Smash sessions for first birthdays, dynamic Toddler Photo‑Play sessions designed for little ones who love to move, and friendly nursery photography that captures children in their familiar childcare environment. Every session is child-centred and play-based, so children aren’t forced into stiff poses — the best moments happen when they lead the way. From your first enquiry you’ll notice a personalised, consultative process. Anaeka spends time before the shoot understanding your vision, advising on locations and outfit choices, and preparing a plan that suits your family’s pace. All images are professionally hand-edited to enhance natural skin tones and ensure print-ready quality. She’s fully insured, DBS-checked and experienced working with nurseries and family groups, offering a professional, trustworthy service across Burton upon Trent and surrounding areas. Whether you want framed wall art, a joyful cake-smash keepsake, or a documentary-style gallery of family life, Anaeka specialises in creating images that feel honest, uplifting and uniquely yours. If you’re looking for a family photographer who prioritises connection, atmosphere and genuine emotion, Anaeka is ready to tell your family’s story.
