Small announcement!

As I head into my final 10 weeks of pregnancy, I will be scaling back on business. This includes clearing out the gallery portal.
✨ Please ensure your galleries are downloaded! ✨
I have every single image I’ve ever taken saved, but I will not be utilizing the gallery portal during my “maternity leave” to limit the number of notifications I recieve.

Additionally, I’ve officially GRADUATED with my Master’s degree (finally😅) and will be taking some much needed time to decompress and relax.

If you have any questions, as always please message me!

To my clients, I am so thankful for you! The support, love, and constant encouragement is everything to me. It’s a blessing to do what I love. Fall sessions this year were a bit more difficult (shoutout to being very pregnant with all the aches 😆), but every single one of you beautiful people made it beyond worth it!

Happy Thanksgiving from mine to yours ❤️🦃

As a mom, I get endless trinkets from my toddler. I love it so much. The moment a client’s little one gives me a trinket?? I feel like the chosen one 🩷😆
Some pink leaves from little G on this gorgeous Sunday morning!
I have very limited spots left M-F for the rest of the year. Weekends are officially closed as we head into the holidays. If you’ve been waiting to book a session, now is the time!

Another day, another homecoming 🤍 this time, my very first client in SC has her family back together after a (way too) long deployment! One of my favorite parts of these sessions is that nothing is ever staged. Every single image is captured in the moment to document the full story.

Fall Mini galleries are getting delivered TODAY! 🙌🏻✨
Surprise! My 7-10 day turnaround just became less than 72 hours thanks to the time change & insomnia😆

As always, please check your emails and message me for any questions/concerns!

Military homecomings. Those who get it, get it.

Believe it or not, these weren’t my clients. But after seeing the raw emotion between a father and son, I had to switch gears and capture the beauty of the moment.

I’ll never let you get caught with a we**ie😆

Why should you hire a professional photographer? Oh because your husband won't tell you to pick your we**ie before he starts snapping memories 🙄

Some (probably unpopular) business choices I’ve made as a photographer, but following my heart is important:

✨I no longer post sneak peeks before the full gallery is delivered. I want my clients to be the first to experience their photos, not scrolling past them on social media.

✨Client privacy matters more to me than marketing. I won’t guilt-trip anyone or tack on an extra fee just because they want their photos private. Their comfort matters more to me than perfecting my feed for the algorithm.

✨I deliver all the edited images from a session. Some say this means leaving money on the table, and sure, maybe that’s true. But for me, it just doesn’t sit right to limit my clients! Having to narrow down favorites sounds overwhelming, and I hate the thought of letting great photos go unseen.

✨ I have a very flexible rescheduling policy. Life is unpredictable. Kids get sick, work runs late, emergencies happen, and weather in SC is sometimes the worst. I do my best to offer flexibility when people need to move their session; within reason, of course. I want to be understanding, not rigid.

✨ I won’t constantly be running specials or marketing sessions. My pricing is set to be affordable for everyone, and I believe those who want to book a session will when the time is right for them.

✨ I love supporting other photographers and will always give recommendations if I’m not available or it just isn’t a right fit! Competition has no place in my business.

After 3 years in this industry, I’ve learned that the client experience is more valuable than any sort of internet fame. It’s me & my camera working for YOU!

✨Anna, with love always!
