Anna Mikalauskas-Cortese
A little bit about me.
Thanks for being here! I'm Anna, and I've been capturing memories through my lens since my high school days. Growing up, I was always the one with a camera in hand, eager to freeze moments in time and hold onto cherished memories forever.
Coming from a family deeply rooted in entrepreneurship, thanks to my parents Angela and Gregory Mikalauskas, founders of the renowned University Basketball Camp, I learned the ins and outs of running a successful business from a young age. This invaluable upbringing instilled in me the skills and determination needed to navigate the world of business effectively.
In 2016, I took a leap of faith and transformed my passion for photography into a multi-media S-Corporation under a different name alongside business partners. This marked the beginning of my journey and eventually led towards a solo career in photography, a dream I had harbored for years.
Balancing my role as a part-time photographer with my teaching career allowed me to connect with children of all ages in a fun and productive way, enriching both my professional and personal life.
Over the years, I've seen my business evolve from humble beginnings, where I lugged my equipment to clients' homes every weekend, to the establishment of my own basement studio. Here, I can capture family portraits with ease and comfort, providing my clients with a stress-free experience.
Despite the growth of my business, my passion for photography remains unwavering. Each day presents an opportunity for me to hone my craft, learn new techniques, and infuse my work with creative touches that reflect my unique style.
When you choose to work with me, you can expect more than just photographs. You can expect your memories to be immortalized in a way that fills your home with real-life moments and, above all, an enjoyable and stress-free experience from start to finish.
Join me on this journey, and let's capture the magic of life together, one frame at a time.
