Meet The Photographer

Hi, I'm Annette, and I love creating portraits for people. All the people!

I noticed a lack of whimsical images when I began my photography journey, and I have set out to change that. I want to empower you through photography and whimsy!

Who are Whimsical Portraits for?

Everyone! If you’re a heavy-metal-loving family, let’s do an edgy session. Recently divorced? Oh goodness, let’s celebrate you and your new adventure! Perhaps you have an alt kid who needs a self-esteem boost? Let’s fill their confidence cup through a portrait session!

Where will your session take place?

Nature has handed us gorgeous scenery up here in the high desert. We have forests that are ideal for fairies, lakes for a fishing scene, and an open desert for crazy fun family photos. I can photograph the littles in your own backyard. Backdrops and lighting create a studio setting for a more intimate session as well.

If you’re looking for something else, contact me, and we will find the perfect spot. Southern California has plenty of choices.

A bit about what I do:

I am a boutique photographer, meaning, I walk you through each step of your session journey. I won’t let your images fade away on screens. I print them!

I design wall art to display in your home. I focus on photographing you and turning those images into beautiful artwork. I create custom photo books and albums, metal prints, large framed prints, acrylic, and more.

I’m excited to tell your story—whether it’s a dreamy fantasy, fun and silly, or a bit spooky. Each photo will add warmth to your home and a smile to your face. This is more than just a session; it’s a magical experience that provides treasured keepsakes.

For questions, to book a session, or to just say hi, please reach out.
