FINE ART PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
IN AUBURN, CA & PALM DESERT, CA

I will cry at your wedding, hug you tightly with excitement about your new addition to your family, I will jump up and down with you when you get into your first choice college, I will hold your hand when I sense you need it, and I will make sure our time together is beyond words.

I have been married for over 25 years and have been a mom for over 24 years (yikes!). I have 4 children (2 of which are my rainbow babies), and I am a mom to 6 angel babies. Also, I have one spunky escape artist dog, a lovey boxer/lab, and 2 very prissy, loves to knock over water cups cats.

I love deeply, give generously, I am a friend for life, and care immensely. Oh and of course there is a tiny bit of feisty in there too.

Behind the Camera

Hi, I'm Ann!

There are so many things that inspire me. However, reading bible verses really lights my fire especially when I am needing a little boost. I know God is with me in all that I do.

Oh my husband! Where do I start. He is my rock, my best friend, my strength when I cannot go on, my biggest cheerleader, and the list can go on. Travis and I meet when we were in college and our love story was in hyper-speed. :) We celebrated 25 years of marriage this past February! And there is not anyone else I would want to spend this life with!

Oh my family...what a beautiful, chaotic, hilarious, energetic, never a dull moment family it is. We have a spread in children so we are non stop. In the nonstop I find solace, peace, inspiration, more love than I thought possible, exhaustion, and so much more. Without my family I would not be where I am today.

There is nothing like capturing moments with a film camera. You have to know your light and trust in your intuitions. Then you enter a darkroom to develop your film and blindly load and process moments. The smell of fixer is oddly comforting and the moment you see your image appear on the paper in the liquid is magical!

Taking a few minutes to enjoy a sunset is so very refreshing. It is in that moment I reflect, plan, appreciate, breathe, and sit in amazement over God's beautiful painting.

Dragonflies are one of my obsessions. They have a special meaning to me. they remind me of the first baby we miscarried in 2008 and the moving forward from such a heartbreak. They signify hope, change, and love. They personify free spirit and an open heart. I believe when a dragonfly crosses my path it is God's way of telling me our now 6 angel babies are happy and are with me.
