EXPERIENCE A DREAM SHOOT
Focusing on the beauty and confidence of everyday women.
I'm Anita
I’m Anita V. Cruz, a photographer and instructor. I help business owners and solopreneurs create high-quality visuals that will make an impact and stand out from the competition.
As a dedicated NYC-based portrait photographer specializing in capturing the essence and beauty of women, men, and pets, Anita also offers professional services that include, headshots, personal branding, and pet portraits celebrating the uniqueness of each individual. She believes that everyone, whether human or animal, has a unique story to tell through her lens.
"YOU'RE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE
AND PERFECT THE WAY YOU'RE NOT."
“I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC.”
“I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR.”
“I’LL COME BACK WHEN I LOSE WEIGHT.”
“JUST MY KIDS NOT ME.”
I said the same things and use the same excuses! Confidence is about liking myself regardless of my imperfections, which by the way is what makes me unique. It is what makes me aesthetically interesting to look at. Many well-known models have made fortunes with their non-conventional beauty. It’s about time we embrace our exceptional qualities. We shouldn’t be afraid to show the world who we are.
I want to show you what others see in you.
I do more with lighting and posing to create beautiful lines and angles with your face and body. You don't need an expensive gym membership to look beautiful in portraits. This photo shoot experience is transformational and fun. Don't be afraid to let your light shine through and “exist in photos! Friends and family will be happy you did.
I am here to make sure your needs are met. I want to empower you to fall in love with yourself again. I want you to value yourself and be kind to yourself because you really are perfect the way you are and perfect the way you’re not.
