FINE ART BRAND & BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER
IN SAN DIEGO & LOS ANGELES

Known for art that is modern and minimal with soft, flattering light, Annie uses film and digital mediums to find and enhance beauty from a female perspective.

Her portraits depict the essence of her subjects, an inspiration to embrace the idea that individuals, too, are works of art — flaws and all.

THE WORK

Be it for a brand or boudoir
photoshoot, Annie develops a unique
concept for each client that is deeply
rooted in the divine feminine.

With extensive creative planning, her process consists of building an intentional and safe space. This not only ensures that all bodies are celebrated and honored physically, emotionally, and spiritually — but this also leads to imagery that is profoundly impactful. Her photographs render thought-provoking changes, helping brands poetically convert their ideal clients, and empowering all women to hold a higher and honest regard for their unique selves.

Testimonials

“Annie! I am stunned! Thank you so much for working with me and capturing me in such a beautiful way.

I am so happy I did this and so grateful that I did it with you. You really made sure I was safe and reassured throughout the whole process. I am forever grateful for this perfect birthday gift.”


– Jia

“Annie, you amaze me, and you have seriously found your calling. You empower women.

I have honestly never liked photoshoots and having my photo taken but, in that bathtub, you made me feel beautiful in a way I’ve never had before. You made me get out of my comfort zone and be the sensual being that I am. I am so thankful for that moment. You truly have an incredible gift.”


- Karina

“Annie went above and beyond to ensure she captured the essence of what we were trying to convey through photography.

She created a vision board to ensure she understood our vision. The day of the shoot was such a beautiful experience, being in front of a lens can feel very vulnerable, but her warm and loving energy allowed me to feel comfortable with the whole experience. The result was beautiful photos that captured us authentically. We can’t thank you enough, Annie!”


– Fatima

“Annie is one of my favorite photographers to work with!

From the beginning, she took my inspiration and created a vision board, took the time to get to know more about me via a really cool questionnaire, and by the time shoot day came, I felt like we already knew each other! I really admire how Annie composes the shots as she’s taking them. The process is evident in the final result, and I never feel like my photos are overly edited…they are always really beautiful interpretations of me and the vision I had for the shoot. Annie is amazing! Book her, and you will see for yourself!”


– Sondra

“Annie is an amazing photographer and great person to work with!

She was super supportive of me before and during the shoot and I couldn’t be happier with the photos. I feel like she captured my whole ESSENCE! Thank you so much.”


– Nicole

“I was the makeup artist for one of Annie’s boudoir shoots and I loved how she treats her clients and myself as well!

She was friendly and laid back but professional as well. She even had snacks and water for the client and I, which was very thoughtful! Her work is also amazing! Highly recommend booking her if you want an amazing experience and beautiful photos.”


– Denise

“Annie is an incredible photographer and an absolute dream to work with!!

She takes the time to learn your aesthetic and figure out exactly what you need in your photos. I wasn’t feeling 100 percent the day of my first shoot, but she pumped me and blew me away with the photos. I don’t always love pictures of myself, but Annie was able to capture beauty that I didn’t even know I had—she’s that good. If you need a dose of self-love, or photos for branding, fashion, beauty, etc., Annie is your girl. She also provided tasty (and healthy) snacks and made the experience fun and unforgettable!! I’ve shot with Annie twice now and will definitely be booking more shoots in the future.”


– Brooke

“Our goal was to make art together and I’m proud of what we accomplished. I’m proud of these pictures and of myself.

Annie and I joked that reclining on this couch made me look and feel like a queen. Well, I joked, and Annie said, “you ARE a queen.” There was lots of laughter. This shoot with Annie was a reclamation of my authentic, sacred, feminine self. She put me at ease in every moment, and inspired me to laugh, be vulnerable and feel beautiful. If you’re reading this in the San Diego area and are tempted to try a boudoir shoot, book with her. It’s a gift.”
