Dive into Whimsical Portraits with Annette Marie Photography: Capture your 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!

Hi there! I’m Annette, a portrait photographer serving the High Desert and Southern California. I want to share my love of storytelling with you while creating wall art for your home. Whether you want odd and eerie or a magical forest theme, I’m your gal. Each photo session begins with printing in mind. I’m a print artist; you won’t only get digitals with me. Nothing is more fulfilling than walking past a fun photo of yourself displayed in your home.

How can I tell your story?

The Portrait Session Process

Consultation

We’ll start with a quick 20-minute phone call to discuss what you want out of your session. The who, where, and why. If we are a fit, I will also meet with you in person if you’d like. I can help you choose your wall art, print sizes, photo albums, and more.

Your Session

I’ll arrive early to scope out the location and 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! Afterward, I’ll edit your photos within 2-3 weeks.

The End, sorta

Reveal Day

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

  • I create a custom order designed especially for every client, whether they want one image or ten.

  • Sessions begin with a 150 creation fee for my time and materials. Wall art starts at 493.

  • Portraits take place in the High Desert in Southern California. If you have another area in mind, let me know. I love exploring new places!
