PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
Most people come into this season already stretched thin. Life is moving quickly. Work, relationships, becoming something, holding everything together. There’s a sense that time is passing faster than it should, and very little of it is being held onto. Photographs often feel like another thing to manage, or something that only happens once everything is perfect.
What they’re really hoping for is something simpler. A pause. A chance to be seen as they are right now, without needing to perform or explain themselves. Images that feel honest and grounded, that reflect who they are in this moment of their life, not an idealized version of it.
These sessions are unhurried and observant. We move with the light, the environment, and your natural rhythm. I offer gentle guidance when it’s helpful and leave space when it’s not. The result is a small body of work that feels lived-in and familiar. Photographs that don’t shout, but stay.
I believe in photographs that hold onto what mattered, long after the moment has passed.
01
Portrait Sessions
An unhurried session designed to reflect who you are in this season. We work with natural light and familiar spaces, moving at a pace that feels calm and grounded. The focus is not on posing, but on presence. These photographs are meant to feel recognizable and lived-in, not produced.
02
At-Home Portraits
Photographing you where life is already happening. In your home, your studio, or a place that holds meaning. These sessions carry a quiet intimacy and a sense of truth that only comes from being in your own environment. The result feels personal, honest, and deeply specific to you.
03
Life Chapters
Portrait work meant to mark change. Engagement, early marriage, new routines, or simply a moment worth remembering. These sessions are about slowing down long enough to acknowledge where you are and holding onto it before it shifts again. The images become part of a longer archive, not a one-time event.

Love Letters
“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!
