Hey there! I am Ana Brandt.

Welcome to my education site! I’m Ana Brandt, a photographer for 27 years and an educator for over 18. I travel the world teaching workshops to inspire and guide photographers everywhere.

My teaching has shifted exclusively to mentoring, alongside a small number of Baby Academies. With only 2 academies left before the program retires, these are the last opportunities to experience this format.

Baby Academies are 4-day intensive workshops designed to build reputation and consistency in the workflow of a newborn photographer.

I currently offer 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 mentoring — visit the Mentoring page in the menu to explore your options.

For those seeking training in 2026, I have certified trainers located around the world who are ready to support you — please reach out to them directly for your training needs.

Kind words

  • Also wanted to thank you again for all you do, and all you give, not just educating photographers around the world but instilling in us the confidence to grow. You are an AMAZING (and ridiculously strong!!) person, and I hope you know how appreciated you are in this community 💗💗💗 Looking forward to the next time - Xoxo, Karina

  • “Hey Ana! So I’m sure you get hundreds of these messages a day, so let me be 101. I cannot explain to you how amazing your workshop was. I was so nervous to attend thinking I’m just not at all of the caliber to even be in the room with such photographers but you made me feel such at ease. I also want to throw out there that being trained by another Latina woman was extremely inspiring to me. As a first generation Puerto Rican girl I was brought up to follow a predictable path, hence why I went into education. My journey with photography goes against everything my family understands but talking with you empowered me. Thank you for all you do, for being so welcoming, encouraging and personal. I am hopeful that I can continue my photography education with some of the many offerings you provide. From one educator to another, you are en fuego 🔥 thank you again!❤️” LivandLunaPhotography

  • Dear Ana, I just want to tell you how much knowing you has helped me. Not only in business, but in terms of life. Even Though I am not profitable, yet, I really love what I do. First time ever I can say that. So, Thank you so much. Kath
