Welcome! I'm Anna.

a little about me:

I'm so excited that you're here to learn more about me and considering me to document these special moments of your couples' lives. Photography is a profound and personal way to connect with one another, and that’s a major part of why I love to take photos. I love being able to learn about people and their stories, celebrate their milestones, freeze special moments and feelings, and leave a lil something to look back on for years to come (including allll the feels and possibly tears!).

WEDDING, ELOPEMENT + PORTRAIT Photography


Capturing light, emotions, fleeting moments, and all the things in between people and life.


The importance of finding the right wedding photographer and why I may be the right choice for you:


Your couple's wedding day is one of the most important days of their lives, and finding the right wedding photographer / lead / second shooter is key to capturing those special moments. As a wedding photographer, my mission is to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience for my couples, so they can relax and be present on their big day.


Being a lead/second shooter, I prioritize YOUR company's + couple's needs which might look like:


  • Being able to shoot on your preferred settings during a typical wedding day no matter what time of day it is
  • Cloudy weather
  • Harsh sunny afternoon
  • Golden hour
  • Indoors (ambient + on/off-camera flash)
  • Nailing sharp, in-focus images that are easy to edit post-wedding
  • Focusing on the opposite person's getting ready details + candids + reactions during First Look, Ceremony, etc.
  • Focusing on reactions during Ceremony, Toasts, etc.
  • Corralling family members for family portraits
  • Capturing candids + grab&grins during cocktail hour
  • Capturing all the reception detail shots in variety of angles + focal lengths
  • Capturing anything and everything that you're unable to get to
  • Knowing when to stop when a couple seems photo-ed out
  • I've unfortunately seen and experienced first hand lead/second shooters continuing and pushing couples to do photos when it's obvious that they're tired and want to join their people to eat and party.


I believe that wedding photography is about more than just pretty pictures. It's about telling a story and capturing the essence of your couple's relationship and the love that they share. I'm passionate about creating images that are not only beautiful but meaningful and that capture the emotion and joy of a wedding day.


As a wedding photographer, I understand the importance of building a relationship with my clients. I take the time to get to know my couples and understand their vision for their wedding day, so I can tailor my approach to their needs. With me as your photographer, you can expect a collaborative, personalized experience that is all about making your wedding day unforgettable.


A little about me—I have a Bachelor's in Communicative Disorders and Sciences. Since I was little, one of my goals has always been related to helping others, both humans and animals. My pipe dream on the other hand has always been something in the creative field. Photography has always been a part of my life whether big or small, on a point-and-shoot camera, instant film, and digital. It just so happens that my love for photography within these past few years has developed into something bigger, intertwined with life and love. I'm so grateful to be listening to and documenting people's stories and milestones.

In my leisure time, I love to rollerskate, go on hikes, admire the sunset, try new foods and desserts, volunteer at the animal shelter, and watch the latest sitcom, thriller, or action show.

Thanks for taking the time to read about me! I’m super excited to learn more about you soon and hopefully work together! :)
