Your Local Small Business & Portrait Photographer

HEY,  I'M ANNIE!

I'm the gal behind the lens, a lover of real connection, big belly laughs, and the kinds of photos that hit different years from now. I officially started this business in 2020, but I’ve had a camera in my hand long before that — always chasing the in-between moments and convincing my friends and family to pose (or not pose) for just one more shot. These days, that usually means my amazing husband and our three girl pups are the ones on the receiving end of my “wait, just one more!” moments — bless them.


I’m quirky, a little weird (in the best way), and a big believer in having fun and not taking life too seriously. I’m a sunshine chaser, a beach lover, and forever trying out new creative hobbies — photography just happens to be the one that fueled a passion in me. Whether it's milestone photography for your little one, maternity photography to celebrate new beginnings, or a branding session for your small business — telling your story through images is what lights me up.


Most importantly, my heart is anchored in Jesus. My faith is a constant source of strength, especially as I walk through my own journey with infertility. If you’re navigating something similar, please know you’re not alone — and I’m always here for connection or a listening ear.


I’m always learning, always growing, and always aiming to tell stories that feel like you. The kind you’ll look back on one day and feel all over again. Your story matters, and I'd be honored to tell it.




Let’s get a little weird (in the best way).

Because behind all the sentiment and storytelling… I’m just a goofy gal who lives for the little things.



 

The Quirky Side of Annie

 

  • I have  two  iconic dance moves: one my friends call “the seizure” and the other “the car wash inflatable guy.” Yes, they’re as graceful as they sound.
  • Singing off-key and belting early 2000s hits is my kind of therapy.
  • Dr. Pepper runs in my veins and French fries are basically a love language.
  • I once guessed every item correctly in a Halloween mystery bag contest—guess I have a knack for the unknown!
  • I wear sandals year-round—even in the snow. Comfort over everything!

If you're into real connections, and a photographer who might belt songs or dance mid-session… we just might be a perfect match!


documenting life, love, and all the in-between moments.
