About Ann
I love snuggles, laughter, genuine love, nature, and clients that love to let loose and be their authentic selves.
Portrait photography in Auburn, ca and Palm Desert, CA
I mean, we all have a little (sometimes a lot) of silly in us if we just let go. Letting go gives me the opportunity to capture YOU. If you want your photos to be authentically you, you want your captured memories with your loved ones to withstand the test of time, and you would like to make a new friend during the process, then keep scrolling!
Start here if you are looking for something in particular.
Otherwise, grab your favorite beverage and browse around! I cannot wait to meet you and capture YOU!
Capturing Beautiful Memories
I will cry at your wedding, hug you tightly with excitement about your new addition to your family, I will jump up and down with you when you get into your first choice college, I will hold your hand when I sense you need it, and I will make sure our time together is beyond words.
I have been married for over 25 years and have been a mom for over 24 years (yikes!). I have 4 children (2 of which are my rainbow babies), and I am a mom to 6 angel babies. Also, I have one spunky escape artist dog, a super lovey boxer/lab, and 2 very prissy, loves to knock over water cups cats.
I love , give , and I am a friend for life who cares immensely. Oh and, of course, there is a tiny bit of feisty in there, too.

My vibrant hair color, my love for dragonflies, comfy clothes, my love of being barefoot, cooking for large groups, ice cream is my jam, and nerf wars & board games with my kids.
what I'm known for:
When you are spending time with family you are the most relaxed, happy, and you. It is those times that we share memories, stories, and snuggles. They are times we remember and cherish. My time with you in front of the camera may be short but during that time I hope to become friends (or family).
I treat you like family.
what makes me different
When I am photographing anything (people, landscape, etc.) my main goal is to capture the time just as it is. I started my photography journey by shooting with film. So, when I capture and edit my images I do so the same way I could have with film. I keep things simple, natural and timeless. I want my clients to be able to look at their images 20/30/40+ years from now and instantly be brought back to that moment by the colors, light, and emotions.
I believe in capturing the light just as it is.
what makes me different
I believe that listening is a huge part of what I do. From our first interaction through our session. I listen to your family dynamics and your vision. I truly want to get to know you so I can provide you with amazing photographs that scream YOU!
I take the time to get to know you!
what makes me different
I believe that feeling at ease in front of the camera is key to seeing the real you. I get it, when the camera goes up it is all too easy to get nervous, feel awkward, and turn into this bizarre never seen version of yourself. I have been there...recently. From the time we meet through the end of our session, it is my goal to help you feel at ease and relaxed. So, when I ask you to do something out of the norm or to be silly you can do so with freedom.
I believe helping you feel at ease from the start is key
