It’s not just about having your photo taken. It’s about seeing yourself—really seeing yourself—in a way that feels honest, effortless, and completely you.
Maybe you want to celebrate where you are in life right now. Maybe you want to document the quiet moments between you and the people you love. Maybe you jsut want to step in front of the camera without feeling stiff or unsure of what to do with you hands.
That’s where I come in.
I don’t do overly posed, cookie-cutter sessions. I guide, but I don’t force. I give direction, but I also step back and let you just be. Whether we’re shooting in your favorite spot or somewhere completely new, my focus is always on creating an environment where you feel comfortable, natural, and at ease—because that’s when the best photos happen.
I believe in creating images that feel like a memory, honest, emotive, and timeless.
01
A Collaborative Experience
This isn’t just me showing up with a camera—it’s us creating something together. Before we even meet, I’ll get to know you, your story, and what you want from your session. We’ll talk through ideas, locations, and what feels most you. Whether you have a clear vision or no idea where to start, I’ll be there to guide you.
02
Direction That Feels Natural
Forget the awkward “what do I do with my hands?” feeling. I’ll give you just enough guidance to make sure you look incredible, while also making space for the real moments that make your photos feel alive. Less posing, more movement. Less pressure, more ease.

For those who love the raw, nostalgic beauty of film, you can add 35mm film photography to any session. Film captures something digital can’t – the grain, the depth, the way light dances across the frame. Your session will include a mix of film and digital images, blending the best of both worlds for a truly timeless feel.
Available as an add-on to any portrait session for those who love the artistry of film

“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!

Session fees vary based on location and session type, but on average, portrait sessions begin at $450. Every session is tailored to capture you in the most authentic, artistic way – whether it’s a solo portrait, a couple session, or a storytelling moment with loved ones.
Upon inquiry, we’ll schedule a quick call to go over your vision, walk you through the experience, and find the perfect session for you. No pressure – just a conversation to make sure it feels like the right fit.
I can’t wait to create something unforgettable together.
What should we wear for our family photo session?
You should wear outfits that make you feel comfortable and reflect your family’s personality. Coordinating colors without matching exactly works best. Avoid busy patterns or logos with some exceptions. Really just stay true to you.
Can we choose the location for our photo session?
Absolutely! You can choose a location that is meaningful to your family, or I can suggest beautiful spots that will make for stunning photos. We can discuss options during our planning consultation.
