Photographs that feel true.
For the businesses and families of Sussex.
Hello and welcome to my world.
I’m Anja, a Sussex-based personal branding and family photographer for those brave enough to be seen the way they are.
Hi, I'm Anja
I laugh a lot, I spend a lot of time in my own head and I’m passionate about life and about understanding who we are as people.That’s why I’m a photographer. It’s my way to uncover my own identity – and help you understand yours.
I've been making photographs since 2010, and for the past six years I've been documenting the lives and work of families and businesses across Sussex (and beyond) – not the polished, posed version, but the real one. The mess, the texture, the moments that actually mean something.
I believe the most powerful photographs aren't technically perfect. They're true.
BUSINESS AND PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
For the solopreneur, coach, therapist or consultant who keeps putting off showing up online because nothing they have feels like them.
The images you have don’t feel right. Too posed, too stiff, too much like someone else’s idea of professional. So you don’t use them.
When we work together, we build the session around who you actually are. The result is images you’ll want to use – and that’s when things shift.
Prices from £450. Based in Sussex, working across Brighton, Worthing and beyond.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Not what your family looks like. What it feels like.
The mundane moments, the ordinary Tuesdays, the chaos and the quiet – that’s what your kids will remember. My job is to document the life you’re actually living, before it becomes the life you’re looking back on.
Prices from £250 (session fee only).
Real life. Real moments.
No filters, no AI, no pretending.
Oh my god!!!
The photos are amazing!!!! I can’t even put into words how amazing they are! Thank you so so much 
Social media is going to be full of your photos!
