For that warm & toasty feeling ☼ Because you deserve photos that make you feel something good.
︾
Hey there! My name is Anna and I’m privileged to work all around this beautiful country, but I’m happy to call North Augusta, South Carolina my home.
I launched full time into photography five years ago. Since then, I’ve shot over 100 weddings and met the coolest couples on the planet!
I strongly believe photography is all about the experience: enjoying those you’re with, having a good dose of fun, and remembering that photos are your legacy. They’re for all those who love you now and those who will love you decades from now.
If you don't like things stuffy, but a timeless quality paired with a happy energy sounds like your speed, then we may make a pretty good team! I love good people, a good hang, and big adventures. At the same time, I revere beauty, authenticity, and organization.
I'm continually refining my process in the hopes of approaching each session and wedding with honesty. I embrace the philosophy of a relaxed work ethic so I can meet each individual where they are. I’m really just a simple girl who loves taking pictures and connecting with nice folks.
It’s about meaning > perfection.

Anna was incredible! Her work is stunning and she was lovely the whole day. Highly recommend.
While hunting for a photographer at the beginning of my engagement, one of the most important aspects of hiring one was their personality. As soon as I talked with Anna, I knew I w...
anted her to be the one to capture my special day. She is sweet, encouraging, happy, patient, and when I talked to her it felt like we were friends!
I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with for my engagement session and wedding day. Her husband, Adam, is awesome, too! They helped my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful couple capture the most amazing day of my life.
Anna has a true talent and love for what she does, her photos are truly timeless and beautiful! She goes above and beyond what you’d expect of a photographer and really makes you w...
ant her to capture every social event in your life. I’m also someone who is extremely uncomfortable being photographed and she has a way of making you forget that’s what she’s there to do, before I knew it I was laughing and she was capturing our genuine emotions, just more elegantly framed than I could have ever imagined. It is so relieving to trust that you can be yourself in front of the camera and she’ll make sure you look good, we loved working with Anna, she and her husband are top notch people who I cannot recommend enough. Hire her immediately if you want a worry free photo experience from someone who loves what they do and genuinely cares for the couples she photographs!
Anna has been such a joy to work with! We hired her for our proposal, formal engagement photos, and for our wedding day and not only have all of the pictures been absolutely stunni...
ng but she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is just an all around sweet soul to have as part of our most precious memories. Her talent and care shows in her work as the photos she took for us didn’t feel like work at all and could have been plucked from any moment in time, as well as capturing our personalities so well. She and her husband felt like old friends right away and alleviated all of our camera jitters, giving us prompts that helped us show our true emotion while assuring us that our faces weren’t oddly contorted and our hair wasn’t askew. All this was accomplished while traveling from a couple states away to make sure our day was as special as possible! I can’t imagine a more comfortable photo situation for a wedding and I’d call her again for any occasion that should be photographed!
We had such a great experience working with Anna!! She did our engagement session and wedding and her and her husband are so much fun to work with. Even amidst all the hurry of a w...
edding day, they were so calm and patient and made taking pictures enjoyable. We’ve already had multiple people make it a point to say how great our photos are and we definitely agree.
Anna is amazing! We did an engagement session and wedding with her. She and her husband are so fun to work with, we consider them good friends now :) And her pictures are incredibl...
e!! We got a huge album and I want to print them all! We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding memories absolute perfection!
My story of Anna was truly meant to be. When my now husband and I first were engaged we booked another photographer besides Anna and my worst nightmare happened, she cancelled on...
us just a few months shy of our wedding day. After searching for a new photographer, we were recommend to Anna and and little did I know, it was a blessing that our original photographer cancelled. I was a nervous wreck and Anna promptly responded to us contacting her and we chatted over emails before we finally got to meet. Immediately after meeting her, I was put at ease and I knew right away, she was going to be our photographer. Anna’s kindness and gentle spirit is not something you find everyday. It was funny, I thought to myself- even if this chick takes terrible photos, I still want her to be there. She was so generous and helpful when deciding what package we wanted and let us customize our package, and we stayed in budget! We kept in contact and she went out of her way in doing her part to navigate our wedding day to help it run smoothly. Fast forward to wedding day- Anna and her sweet husband, Adam, were with us every second of the day and even endured the insanely loud music and craziness of me trying to calm my nerves while getting ready. She offered to take BOTH my dresses and things needed to our venue. Even though I was late, she still made sure everything was planned and went off without a hitch. Our wedding day was beyond perfect and she was so helpful in making it so. Anna quickly got us a several sneak peek photos just the day after and we could not wait to see the rest! Just SIX days after our wedding, we had our entire wedding album and literally everything single picture was perfect and she captured everything we could hope for. Not only is Anna an incredible photographer who is very affordable , she is one of the most sweetest humans beings I have ever met. We could not recommend her more and we are still so thankful that we were able to book her for our wedding. If you are engaged and looking for someone, book her now!! You will not be disappointed!!!
Anna is absolutely wonderful!! Soon after getting engaged, I knew picking her to do our engagement photos would be the best decision. Not only is her work amazing quality with a un...
ique style, Anna is incredibly positive, lighthearted, professional, and sincere. Although we were a bit nervous to be in front of the camera leading up to our session, Anna helped make both my fiancé and I feel comfortable, and we genuinely had a blast the entire time! Her eye for unique shots and locations, made the memories all the more special. We’re beyond thrilled with our experience with Anna, and we could not be more grateful for the beautiful pictures she created for us. Her work is timeless and something you can hold onto for a lifetime!
