let's do it.

My photos aren't "for the gram". They're for your real moments. I want you to feel all the feels when you look back at your images. There's no pressure in your photos, the goal is always for you to be nobody other than your cool selves and we will create beautiful art for generations to come. 

your stories, authentic & beautiful.

Get to know me


I'm Mom to Little Miss Briar & Little Stud Muffin Reesey & wife to Mr. Dylan Melin, the lawn-taker-carer-extraordinaire!

Photography is just my thing & has been for over a decade (close to TWO decades). I've come to value different things as I get older and sincere moments & experiences are top of the list these days.

I'll also tell you right now that I care A LOT. About your crew, your memories & of course your photos. 

Photography is truly my art & I'll never stop thanking you for allowing me capture your sweetest, most magical moments.

I can't wait to meet you. Let's create some magic, and have a bit of fun while we're at it too ; )

"Annie is THE BEST! She makes you smile and laugh, during the session. You'll feel like you're catching up with an old friend behind a camera, and before you know it she sends you a link to the most amazing portraits you've ever seen of you and your family. Stop your search now. You've found your photographer."

"Annie is AMAZING. We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out absolutely stunning!!! She has a beautiful way of capturing posed and candid photos, so the whole process felt incredibly natural and fun. The end results were gorgeous." 

- jillian c.

"Our Maternity Photos were a dream and we received so many compliments on how beautiful they were. They will always be my favorite photos of our start of our family. Annie goes above and beyond. She puts her heart into everything and really knows what people want and love."
