"Anita’s work is absolutely gorgeous! It is everything I envisioned. She takes the time to get to know you and understand exactly what aesthetic you’re looking for. I absolutely loved collaborating with her through the mood boards; it was such a fun way for us to connect. We are so incredibly lucky to have found her to capture our journey!"

"Anita is truly amazing at what she does. She made us feel so comfortable during our first maternity photo session. Very accommodating, easy to work with, sweet & professional! She responds back very quickly. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer because of her we have the most beautiful memories and photos that will last a life time. I highly recommended Little Catci Photography! "

"Anita was so professional, personable and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures have turned out to be absolutely stunning and we could not be more thankful! Anita went above and beyond to help us plan our event - she provided her opinions on location, timing, posing & offers great pricing! We will definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!"

We were so glad to have booked Anita for our birth announcement photos! She was wonderful to work with, quick to respond to messages, and made everything so easy. She even offered to help pick up outfits for us and props for the shoot. She got us back a set of proofs within a day and our whole album was edited within a few days. Our photos came out beautiful and we've gotten so many compliments on them.

We chose little cacti photography after meeting with a bunch of different photographers for our micro-wedding/elopement ceremony. Anita was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what we wanted to make our special day extra special. She lived up to our expectations and then some. We couldn't be happier with the way our pictures turned out. She is prompt, professional, funny, caring and really loves what she does and it shows in her work. We couldn't be happier with how she captured our special day. We highly recommend Little Cacti Photography.

I had hired a photographer for budgetary reasons and about two weeks before my wedding panicked because I wanted another style of photography. Anita literally saved the day, thank god she was available! She worked so flexibly with the other photographer, capturing some of my absolute favorite photos of the entire day. I cannot recommend her enough!
NIKI
We had a great experience with Anita. She was so kind and easy to work with. We had a newborn lifestyle session. She came to our home and included our dogs in the photos which was extra special since we lost one of our dogs less than a week later. She took beautiful photos of our family that we will have forever. I highly recommend her.
GINA
We had the most amazing experience with Anita! She photographed our Pregnancy Annoucement and the whole thing was fun, easy, carefree- like we were just on a fun date! Not awkward at all. The pictures themselves came out incredible (and literally the day after, which was so so nice) and we can’t wait to share them with our family! We would use Anita again to photograph any milestones in our lives- we can’t recommend her highly enough!
OLIVIA
Anita is great! She shared multiple locations within the Poughkeepsie area as well as portfolios prior to booking so we could narrow down our decision. She had great communication and patience with me and my family, before and during the shoot! She was flexible and allowed us to suggest any shots that we wanted, on top of her being very suggestive in movements to capture some sweet moments! I loved her style on IG and she confirmed her look through the sneak peak she sent within 24hrs. I can’t wait the final portfolio soon but I would definitely work with Anita again!
BROOKE
We had our wedding June 22, 2024 and Anita captured it beautifully. She worked with us on a budget that fit our needs, which was such a relief! She photographed our ceremony, couples photos in the park and our reception. She was kind, very easy to work with and had beautiful, creative ideas for different looks.
CHELSEA
Anita is truly a dream to work with. She came to our home for a maternity session and instantly made myself and my partner feel completely at ease. The photos she delivered well surpassed expectations and we will cherish them forever. She is responsive, kind, warm, and over delivered on everything from editing to our final gallery.
I highly recommend Little Cacti Photography, and cannot wait to work with her again for family photos in the future!!
