Create, Inspire, and Elevate Your Photography Journey
Two days. Two worlds. One creative reset.
I’m bringing a photography experience to Perth designed to slow you down, reconnect you with light, and remind you why you fell in love with creating in the first place. This is more than a workshop—it’s a space to breathe, observe, and craft motherhood stories with intention and heart.
Day 1
Studio Workshop / 22nd of May
Day One — Studio Reset .
Fine Art Maternity Motherhood
Our first day unfolds inside a cozy, warehouse-style studio filled with natural light. We’ll explore how to shape softness and depth using continuous and mixed lighting, learning how light becomes part of your storytelling. Together, we’ll create fine art motherhood portraits—focused on emotion, connection, and the quiet beauty that lives between moments.

Gorgeous Maternity Session
We'll explore a variety of lighting schemes designed to help you create timeless, emotion-rich portraits of motherhood.
Snacks and drinks will be available throughout the day — because you can’t create on an empty stomach!
Motherhood Portrait Session
Learn how to use natural and mixed lighting techniques to capture motherhood authentically and beautifully. You’ll also discover how to adapt your space to align with your unique style and creative goals.
It’s all about the light.
We’re diving into both natural and constant studio lighting to craft those soft, soulful, and timeless portraits that celebrate the essence of motherhood. First, I’ll guide you through the studio lighting essentials — sharing my go-to setups and everyday hacks that bring magic to life in my own studio. Then we’ll slow things down, explore the space together, and play with different lighting techniques to create stunning, versatile results.
Your Camera doesn’t matter , But light - DOES !
Day 2
Sunset Stories / 23rd of May
On the second day, we’ll follow the sun to the shoreline. As the light fades into golden hour, we’ll work with movement, wind, and open space, capturing motherhood in its most free and natural form. This session is about flow—letting the ocean, the sky, and your subject guide your vision into timeless, soulful images.
Up to 3 hours of guided photography with me, exploring the magic of changing light from soft afternoon glow to golden hour and into dusk.
Time: 15:00–18:00
We will work through different lighting conditions, focusing on creative direction and natural, elegant posing. Together, we’ll create simple, timeless lines—wrapped in shadow and light—to craft soulful, fine art motherhood images.

“I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone just as creative with lighting as Ana! She is an absolute master at what she does and her beautiful and creative energy is so contagious!
I’ve attended 2 workshops with Ana now, one 1:1 and one studio and I’ve left both workshops with so much knowledge gained and felt so inspired to go out and test my own creativity with my clients by implementing all the things I learnt.
Ana is so motivating and it really was incredible watching her work and create magic in the studio! She also took the time to understand where I was with my photography journey and where I wanted to be.
Every image I took from both workshops spoke to me and tugged at my heart. The images I was able to create under Ana’s guidance were ones I had been envisioning for a long time and it was with Ana’s mentorship and guidance that I was finally able to achieve that.
Thank you Ana! For being an incredible creative and support. You are amazing x!”

“I can’t express enough how great Anastasia’s workshop has been for me as a natural light photographer.
Before attending, I always felt out of my comfort zone using studio light, but Anastasia’s guidance completely changed that. I was blown away by how many different techniques and lighting scenarios we covered. She made the process so easy and for the first time I felt confident blending natural light with studio lighting setups. I’m now using everything I learned in my new studio, and it’s been a game changer for my work. Anastasia’s workshop didn’t just teach me technical skills, it gave me the confidence to truly make the most of every lighting situation. I’m so grateful for the experience!”
