About ME image
Hi there! I'm Sandia Pantano. Welcome to my page and get to know me a little!
I am a Wife, Mommy and a Photographer based in Northern Virginia. My studio is located in Reston, Virginia. I love Photography of all types, however, my love is with Newborn Photography. I am a lover of all things BABY, and I have been my whole life. Previous to going F/T with my Photography business, I worked as a Ultrasound Technologist at a OB/GYN practice in Fairfax. I decided to pursue newborn photography partially due to this field and my love for creating art . I thought, while I document and capture babies within the womb by performing Diagnostic Sonography and also 3d4d Ultrasounds, how amazing it would it be to capture babies fresh out of the womb and that's exactly what I did! I went all in back in 2018, by resigning from my ultrasound career, turned my loft area into a studio in my home. Then the pandemic hit in March of 2020, I closed up shop for a few months but then started back again in the summer of that year. The fall of 2020 I found an actual space for a studio! I was so excited! In 2021 I moved into a bigger studio around the corner. Since 2018 I have taken many photography webinars, online photography newborn safety courses, joined a newborn photography mentor program and have had the pleasure of documenting and capturing so many beautiful memories for hundreds of babies and families in the Northern virginia area!

I would say my style is mostly neutral and light and I mainly photograph babies in props like baskets, fur backdrops, buckets, moons, beds, little couch, suitcases etc which I have tons of and I'm constantly adding more props!
So take a look around, get to know my style and hopefully you choose me to capture these special moments in your life!
