Photos for Whimsical Families
Playful photography for families who want to ditch the stress and stiff posing.
HIGH DESERT, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
If you’re worried your kids won’t sit still or smile on command, you’re in the right place. I photograph laughter and the beautiful chaos that is family life.
Family Sessions
You don’t need to have fancy outfits, perfect kids, or a spotless life.
You just need to show up.
And, I’ll take care of the rest.
Right here in the High Desert. No need to drive down the hill.
“Annette is patient and so fun and easy to work with. Make sure to call Annette ... You’ll have a photographer for life.”
MEET ANNETTE
That’s me! A photographer who wants to give you a fun, playful experience — from start to finish.
Family photos shouldn’t feel stressful or awkward.
My sessions are:
Laid-back, but not boring
Filled with laughter
Kid-friendly
Guided, but never forced. I follow your kids’ lead
I’ll gently guide you so nothing feels stiff — and your kids can be exactly who they are.
Maternity
Are you expecting a set of tiny toes? Congratulations mama! Now, it’s time to celebrate you and your magical body. You’re growing a human!
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, so it’s a must to pamper yourself with portraits.
It’s a little different than a regular photo session, and 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. Yep, let that sink in.
We’ll share laughs while adding a little sprinkle of joy to their graduation images. Boring is for school; let’s have fun celebrating this huge milestone!
Business & Branding
You didn’t build your business overnight, and a generic photo for your website simply won’t do. You need options! A business portrait (aka headshot), you in your creative space, the tools you use, your laptop, and more!
With me, you can choose between a one-and-done branding session or a subscription-style service. Please book a call so we can discuss what you really want and need. Branding is a whole other beast.
Simple 3-Step Journey
1. Consultation
We’ll start with a quick 20 min phone call for you to share the who, what, where, and why. Tell me why you want photos and what you want to do with them.
You can get to know me and see if we’re a good fit.
I’ll share everything I offer, and if you want, we can also meet in person.

Portrait Session
2. The Big Day
We’ll meet up for your session, which will take place on location, in my studio, or at your home.
You should feel relaxed, but excited, and ready to laugh and have fun. Your portraits will be a mix of candids and light poses. Nothing stuffy or stressful here.
I’ll edit and lightly retouch your images, and they will be ready in 2-3 weeks.
Prints & Albums
3. Reveal and Order appointment & Delivery
We’ll meet in person for your photo reveal. You decide which ones you want as wall art, prints, or in an album at this ordering appointment.
3-4 weeks after that, I’ll hand-deliver your custom artwork.
Sounds easy enough and fun, right?
