celebrating 7 year anniversary

 

Ann Keen Photography is celebrating their 7 year anniversary!!

 

I am so excited to celebrate my 7 year anniversary! 7 years ago I had just launched my 1st website and I was jumping into this business hoping and praying that I would be able to bless many people with memories to cherish forever.  I had no idea what that would look like.  

My first year of business I was in Auburn, CA, then moved to Palm Desert, CA for 4.5 years, and now back to Auburn.  It has been quite the adventure.  It has been filled with glowing mothers to be, squishy newborn babies, toddlers, preteens, teens, high school seniors ready to make their mark, many extended families, proposals, engagements, weddings, new business openings, new products, many amazing events, a print hanging in the Palm Springs Art Museum, styled shoots, baptisms, sharing my experience and knowledge with others, opening my first studio in downtown Auburn and so much more!  I have had the pleasure and honor to capture memories, accomplishments, and new ventures for over 400 clients/friends.  Yep, I sure did go back and count.  I was blown away to see the actual number.  WOW!!  Over 400!!  I am still shocked.  These last 7 years have been such a blessing!  Thank you to everyone for trusting me to capture your precious memories!

So what is on the horizon??  Well…outside of the 15 clients (so far) left for this year and the 10 spectacular brides & grooms for 2017, I am looking forward to teaching more people in the community how to use their cameras better, to leading a shoot at United in AZ, to having a huge wedding giveaway (more info to come), to starting a personal project (again more to come), and to meeting so many more amazing new people.  Oh and one more…I look forward to getting back into blogging.  Yep that is right I am going to try to stay on task and get back to sharing with all of you regularly on the blog.  

Thank you to everyone that continues to follow me and have me capture their memories!  It means the world to me. <3

 

Much love!

xoxo, Ann

Lastly, some gorgeous light and beautiful couple during their engagement session last year!  Still one of my many favorites!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Ann

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
