So you definitely won’t find any awkward vibes or boooring poses with me.
Around here, we celebrate the messy middle, big belly laughs, and the heart behind every story.
If you get easily overwhelmed by stress, uncertainty, or self doubt when it comes to being photographed - or even thinking about planning a session - you’re in the right place!
Not feeling confident, kid chaos, inconsistent branding, or self-doubting your way through Pinterest… I’ve heard and seen it all.
And I thrive off creating a space that makes you forget about all that! Playing with your kids, making you laugh with yet another random outburst of singing, or having impromptu dance parties...
you’ll enjoy each moment almost as much as you’ll love the photos you end up with.
When we work together you will…
Feel taken care of - from inquiry to gallery delivery, you’ll have clear guidance, creative direction every step of the way, and a plan that actually makes sense
Have FUN - thanks to the relaxed, upbeat and stress-free environment I create, you literally won’t be able to not have fun
Be present in the moment - for your family and your business, because I’ve handled everything for you!
Feel confident in being yourself - my goofy personality naturally brings out the unfiltered goodness in my clients so you can be seen and celebrated just as you are, not some watered-down version you think you “have to be”
This isn’t just another photo session…
It’s a supportive, fun experience that gives you the chance to simply be yourself, and know that that’s enough. Plus you’ll walk away with images you’re so obsessed with, you won’t be able to stop posting about it!
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
-Michael Scott (or really Wayne Gretzky)
This couldn’t be more true when it comes to photography. Clients always say they wish they had taken photos earlier – whether it’s to capture moments they’ll never get back of their precious kids or finally getting brand visuals that feel like them. You’ll only regret the shots you didn’t take.
Here’s how we’ll make sure you don’t miss a thing...
Branding
For passionate business owners, creatives and entrepreneurs who are ready to show up confidently, be bold, stand out visually, and invest in imagery that actually reflects their personality and purpose.
Families
For busy parents who want to preserve real memories and live in the present with their kids before time slips by even further, I offer newborn, maternity, family, and milestone photography that lets you hold on a little longer.
Mini Sessions
I offer themed mini sessions throughout the year as a creative outlet for alllll the ideas in my head - ranging from holiday classics to unique minis like posing in a princess carriage (yes, I actually own one!). These are quick, fun and easy ways to update your photos more often without committing to a full session! Join my email list to be the first to know about upcoming minis and book before anyone else.

“Annie has been capturing our memories since I was pregnant with my first born back in 2021. Since then, she has captured every milestone. Birthdays, pregnancies, family photos, you name it. Annie is incredibly patient with children and always knows how to make them smile. She has such a burning desire to capture the perfect moment and you can see it on her face when she’s behind the camera. We love Annie and we will never go to anyone else for professional photos!"
Marti M.
“If you’re a business owner in Joplin, MO, you need to hire Annie for your brand photos! Annie was incredibly detailed while planning my brand photos. I felt so prepared for my photoshoot because she took care of all the planning! And don’t even get me started on the actual shoot! Her personality and knowledge made it so easy for me to relax and have fun. It wasn’t the super uptight headshots I was used to—it was creative, enjoyable, and true to who I am as a person.
To open a gallery of photos of yourself and not hate a single one is rare, but that’s exactly what I got from Annie! I’ve never had so many photos I’ve absolutely loved. And to top it all off, these images have DOUBLED my reach on social media and helped me land 2 new clients in just a week. 100% worth the investment. I’d give a thousand stars if I could."

“Annie is amazing at bringing your visions to life with each and every session. We have used Annie several times over the years from maternity, newborn, milestones, mini sessions and more. She creates custom backdrops to match your ideas, making it the perfect fit every time. She does everything she can to make your photo session experience easy and stress free… and she is so good with children!"
Brandi G.
“Annie has done almost all our photos we’ve done for both our immediate and extended family. She’s so patient and so SO good with littles. I highly recommend booking your next shoot with her! You will never be disappointed!!”

client love notes
I’m the quirky, giggly one who’s always down to make a fool of herself if it means getting that shot. Growing up, I was an outgoing, free spirited person who was constantly told I was "too loud", "annoying", or "just doing too much" so I became a quieter version of myself for honestly too long. But now I'm here to re-embrace that ENERGETIC, OUTGOING, JUST PERFECT version of myself again – and to encourage others to do the same (cause I promise, you’re not “too much” and you deserve photos that share that).
Hey hey! I'm Annie
