My Story

Photography is my superpower

Photography is an art

It’s about finding or creating beautiful light in ordinary places in order to create extra-ordinary portraits. This is my superpower

The important stuff first. My favorite color is turquoise; I am addicted to chocolate chip cookies and am currently in recovery. I am an animal lover and love the great outdoors. Some day I would love to hike the Pacific Crest Trail or ride my bicycle across New Zealand. (for the second time) Ok, now the facts. I am a Master Photographer, Photographic Craftsman, and Certified Professional Photographer. The Professional Photographers of America earned all my degrees and certifications. I have been a professional photographer for 19 wonderful years. I am great at posing, talking you through each pose, and making you relax to get genuine, authentic smiles.

Annie is a consummate artist! She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She knows what looks good on you, relates to you as an individual, what inspires you as a person, and somehow fuses all of that in every photo she takes. She captures that moment and turns it into something spectacular. I called Annie in 2012 to take my oldest daughter’s senior portraits. I liked her immediately but most importantly so did my daughter. Her pictures turned out fabulous and she loved them. One down and one to go…… Annie did such a wonderful job the first time; I had her take my youngest daughter’s senior portraits. Fast forward to 2013 and I have to say I couldn’t be happier….my youngest daughter absolutely loves her pictures….they too turned out amazing. Annie does a phenomenal job with lighting, color, and location. Not everyone has this level of talent….but Annie does. I wouldn’t use anyone else!
