Friend,
Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a seat at the table
and ask yourself...
What does home mean to you?
Is it a feeling? A place? A certain time period? Is it defined by moments or people?
Home is...
HOME
The feel of your child’s hand in yours
A slow dance in the kitchen amidst endless loads of laundry,dishes, & bedtime stories
Watching the wonder light up your children’s eyes as they race along the Lake Huron shore on a July night, ice cream stains soaking their shirts & their laughter trailing them like comets
Kissing scraped knees and
Weaving dandelions into your daughter’s hair
Height marks marching up the doorframe-like the toy soldiers that once scattered your son's floor-lasting testaments to the once small bodies that crowded your space & your heart.
HOME is shifting your mindset to slow down,
to feel each breath,
to really listen
to feel it all.
HOME is the sacred disguised as the everyday
the comfortable, sometimes the mundane.
It is right here, right now.
I would love to capture your story,
to freeze these moments for you to treasure now
but even more so, in order for you,
BELOVED,
to return home
in the years to come.
So let's commit to not wasting a minute of this beautiful, messy life. Let's document the heck out of the big and little emotions-the every day that feels mundane in the moment-but looking back becomes the sacred.
Grab your family and let's meet-whether in a field at golden hour to twirl and explore or in a giant cuddle-puddle on your front porch swing with bowls of ice cream and fire flies twinkling.
Regardless of the location, I'll bring my artist's eye and frame your unique story thru my lens. Combining my love for capturing details while also capturing your family's unique connection with warmth and a touch of whimsy.
The end result will be visual heirlooms, artifacts, that preserve you and yours at this time in your life, for generations to come to look back and
Let’s slow down together. Freeze time. Savor moments filled with authentic connection and real emotion.
While time waits for no one, we have the power to:
carve out time
to be intentional
in loving our people, our tribe, our kin, our quiet ones, and our wild ones,
those who set our hearts on fire & make life worth living,
who embody the definition of
Home
My husband is not one for family photos and after our experience with Annie and receiving our gallery, he is totally in awe and obsessed. From this moment forward, we have found the person who we want to capture our family milestones for the rest of our lives. Annie is such a genuine, kind, and beautiful soul. She loves what she does and you can see that in her photos. She was excellent with my daughter and dogs. Beyond patient and nice and loving.

I am in love with the gallery. You truly went above and beyond to assure our photos turned out amazing. You caught such beautiful, candid moments of our family! The colors, lighting, unique angles and poses really made our photos a work of art. Thank you so much!
There was so much variety in the setting, styling and emotions captured in such a short window of time — I don’t know how she did it! The hardest part is picking our favorites, and the kids said it was “the most fun photos ever!”
Annie’s talent is unmatched. Her creativity amazes me, she truly has a gift. Annie also has the sweetest soul and makes you feel so comfortable during your shoot. 1000/10 recommend her!!!
Annie has a true gift at turning the small, everyday interactions between loved ones into beautiful works of art. She is able to create magic with her rare mixture of talent, intuition, patience and calm. She truly makes the whole process effortless from her customer wardrobe options and her easy going nature that allowed us all to be our authentic selves. She really allowed all our family's beautiful nuances and dynamics to shine in a way I didn't even know was possible.
