Dive into Whimsical Portraits with Annette Marie: Capture the Magic

HIGH DESERT,

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Adventures in Storybook Land

Portraits should spark whimsy and magic. I want to capture the magic that lingers inside you. When you see your portrait hung in your home, it's not just a picture—it's a memory. Studies show that photos displayed in the home, can boost children's self-confidence and give them a sense of belonging. Allow your child to wear that silly hat during their session. The day will come when they won’t want it anymore.

The Darker Side

Everyone has an inner dark side. Whether you want to show off the strange and unusual or reveal something twisted and sprinkle it with humor. Let’s explore this side of you and create something surreal. You bring the gas mask, and I’ll bring the camera. A photo book is a perfect option for displaying taboo portraits.

Fantasy Land

Your session is truly what you decide to make of it. Embrace your joy and eccentricity by choosing props and fun clothing while dancing (or sitting) in a beautiful location. We’ll share laughs while adding a little whimsy to your images. Boring is for work and school, let’s turn your world upside down!

I’m Annette, a portrait photographer who gets super excited about storytelling through a lens and wall art! Whether you want odd and eerie or a magical forest theme, I’m your gal. Every portrait begins with printing in mind. Nothing is more wonderful than walking past a photo of yourself, every day. And if you want, I’ll sprinkle in fairytales and folklore for extra fun. Yes, please!

How can I tell your story?

What to Expect for Your Portraits


Consultation

We’ll do a quick 20-minute phone call and talk about what you want for your session. Who, where, when, and why. I want to get to know you and your story.

Your Session

I’ll arrive early to set up. I will guide and pose you throughout your entire session. Don’t know what to do with your hands? I got you. We’ll share some laughs. Portraits are fun and should not feel stuffy. It’s YOUR day to shine!

The End, sorta

Reveal Day

Fall in love with your story all over again! You’ll choose the images you want to invest in. 2-3 weeks after that, I’ll deliver your wall art and photo books to you. This is the best part! I love seeing the joy on every client’s face.
