ANITA BISCKEI
PUBLISHER: ANITA BISCKEI
Anita is passionate about connecting people with each other and bringing people together.
In her free time she loves traveling with her family within the U.S. and in Europe. She also loves going on walks, cooking, doing crossword puzzles and is currently learning embroidery.
Anita grew up in Hungary, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area at the age of 27. She’d earned her college degree in Europe (to be an employment specialist) but her love for being around children and the fact that she spoke English, allowed her to easily find babysitting jobs in the U.S.
The mother in one of the families for whom she worked was a wedding photographer. Anita loved watching her employer editing photos, and she became interested in learning more about photography. Anita eventually became her assistant and realized that photography was what she really wanted to do.
She spent a year learning everything she could by assisting, and saving money to buy her first camera. Soon she was booking her own weddings. She eventually branched out into event/school and portrait photography until the pandemic, when she became unemployed.
