Meet Anne
👦🏼👧🏼 👧🏼I am a mom of three, 👰🏻♀️🤵🏼and have been married for 16 years.
📸 I started learning photography after being inspired by my wedding photographer when I found her in 2008 while googling church photos.
🏫I went to W&J for college where I played volleyball 🏐and majored in Business and Psychology. It was so fun and I met my husband there. Before graduating, I took the LSATs and got into law school but decided not to go because I didn’t want to work lawyer hours or have more loans.
👩🏻💼📥I worked in HR for 5 years before throwing all my spare time into photography and turning a hobby into a career.
👶🏼I officially launched my business in 2011 while on maternity leave with my son. Not having any experience as a mom and not knowing how to create and run a business, it was crazy confusing/stressful and I was tired on top of the post-partum hormones 🥵🤯. But, obviously I’m glad I saw it through.
👰🏼♀️🤵🏻💍👨👩👧👦👩❤️👨 When first starting out, I photographed either outside or in the dining room of our townhouse. I did everything from engagements, to weddings, families, and newborns. I quickly realized my heart was with the newborns and phased out everything else over the next few years.
📺📚⚾️📣🏀🏈 When I’m not working, my favorite pastimes are sitting on my couch (my happy place) watching TV, reading, or doing a puzzle. I’m currently teaching myself how to crochet via YouTube. Basically, I’m 80. But, even more than my affinity for sitting on my couch, I love watching my kids do their sports.
🍔☀️I prefer to leave my house only when it’s sunny or there is a promise of good food. 🥓🍗🍤🍣🍿🍪
👶🏼 📸 I’ve thought a lot about it and I really do think my job is one of the best jobs there could possibly be. I look forward to going into the studio for every session I do and I can’t think of anything else I’d like to spend so much time doing. I hope I can keep doing this for many many years to come.
