Photos that make your heart dance

If you’re worried your kids won’t sit still or smile on command, you’re in the right place. I photograph real connection, laughter, and the beautiful chaos of family life.
Family Sessions
You don’t need to have the perfect outfits, perfect kids, or a spotless life.
You just need to show up.
And, I’ll take care of the rest.

MEET ANNETTE
That’s me! A photographer who wants to give you a relaxed, easy experience — from start to finish.
Family photos shouldn’t feel stressful or awkward.
My sessions are:
Laid-back
Playful
Kid-friendly
Guided, but never forced
I’ll gently guide you so nothing feels stiff — and your kids can be exactly who they are.
Maternity
Are you expecting a pair of tiny toes? Congratulations mama! Now, it’s time to celebrate you and your changing body.
You can play dress up for the day and be the star of the show! When the baby comes, you’ll forget all about the miracle of life growing inside you.
It’s just like a family photo session, except you get to show off that beautiful baby belly!
High School Seniors
Embrace your teen’s bold, quirky side while they twirl around in their cap and gown! Celebrate them and their accomplishments. High school is hard, and they’ve accomplished something BIG! This is probably the last time you’ll get photos of your teen until their wedding.
We’ll share laughs while adding a little sprinkle of joy to their graduation images. Boring is for school; let’s have some fun celebrating this huge milestone!

3. Reveal, Order, & Delivery
You choose your favorite images that you want. Decide which ones are for wall art, prints, or in an album.
3-4 weeks after that, I’ll hand-deliver your custom art to you.
Sounds easy enough and fun, right?
