PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
Most portraits aren’t about a single moment, they’re about wanting to remember a season of your life before it changes. The problem is that they’re often approached ina way that feels staged or disconnected from how things actually are, which makes it harder to recognize yourself in them later. What matters is documenting what your life looks and feels like right now without interrupting it or turning it into something else. These sessions are approached with that in mind, allowing space for things to unfold naturally while still giving just enough direction so nothing feels uncertain. The result is imagery that reflects your life as it is, not a version of it.
These aren’t just moments, they’re the parts of your life you’ll want to remember once they’ve changed.
01
In-Home Sessions
Photographed where your life actually happens, without needing to leave or rearrange anything. These sessions are built around your environment so everything feels natural and familiar, allowing moments to unfold without interruption.
02
On Location
Sessions set outdoors or in a place that already holds meaning for you. The focus stays on movement, interaction, and the pace of the environment rather than creating something overly structured or styled.
03
Film Additions
Film is integrated alongside digital coverage, adding a different texture to the way the session is documented. It brings a sense of permanence and depth that complements the overall work without changing the experience.

“Annie was a joy to work with.
I had family members who were nervous about being in front of the camera and/or nervous about their English. Annie was able to make everyone comfortable and shot the best pictures while doing so. I could not have asked for a better person to be with me as I prepared for my wedding and to be with me on my wedding day. Additionally, her pictures are truly a work of art. I would recommend Annie to anyone and everyone!

“Five stars is not nearly enough to accurately represent how much we loved working with Annie Austin.!!!!!
Our wedding was beautiful and perfect, and of course, I adore my husband. Still, my running joke is that I wish I could get married over and over just for the chance to work with Annie again. She was unbelievably professional while also bringing a relaxed, friendly energy—like having an extra friend there to help throughout the day. On top of that, we received WAY more photos than expected, and every single one was stunning. From start to finish, working with Annie was an absolute dream, and we can’t wait for another opportunity to do it again!

ready for more? INVESTMENT DETAILS
Portrait sessions begin at $750, with most clients investing more depending on location and how they choose to have the work documented.
Sessions are approached individually, with the focus staying on the experience rather than a fixed structure. Details and availability are shared after inquiry.
What do these sessions actually look like?
They’re meant to feel like time you would already be spending, not something separate from it. There’s a starting point, but the session isn’t tightly structured or overly directed. I’ll guide when it’s needed, but most of it is simply letting things unfold as they normally would.
What should we wear?
Something that feels like you. It doesn’t need to be styled beyond recognition or coordination too closely. I can give direction if you want it, but the goal is to avoid anything that feels forced or overly considered.
Where do sessions take place?
Either in your home or somewhere that already feels familiar to you. The setting matters less than how comfortable you are in it, so the focus stays on choosing a space that reflects your life as it is.
What if things feel chaotic or imperfect?
That’s usually where the work becomes more honest. These sessions aren’t built around everything going smoothly, they’re built around documenting what’s actually there. Nothing needs to be fixed before I arrive.
Do you work with families and children?
Yes. There’s no expectation for anyone to behave a certain way or stay still. The session adjusts to the pace of your family rather than the other way around.
How far in advance should we book?
Most sessions are booked a few weeks to a couple of months in advance. If you have a specific time in mind, it’s best to reach out sooner.
What happens after we inquire?
You’ll hear back with availability and next steps. From there, we’ll confirm details, choose a location if needed, and keep everything simple leading into the session.
