Hi, I am Annalise

My journey with photography started in middle school, passing around a camera with my best friends, capturing everything that felt too important to forget. It was never about the perfect pose, it was about the story. The feeling. The real.

That same love for capturing connection has only grown stronger - now, I document love stories with an honest, artful l eye and a relaxed energy that helps even the most camera-shy couples feel like themselves.

My Approach

I’m not here to direct your love like a film - I’m here to witness it. You don’t need to perform. You just need to be present, and I’ll take care of the rest. My sessions are easygoing, intentional, and a little playful - more like hanging out with a friend than being in front of a lens.

Most of my clients walk away saying they felt seen - and that it was actually fun. (Yes, even the ones who said they were “awkward in front of the camera.”)

A little about me

By day, I work in biotech research - science brain on, headphones in, probably listening to some painfully good divorced dad rock. I balance the logical with the creative - which honestly reflects how I shoot: thoughtful, grounded, and full of feeling.

When I’m not working or behind the camera, you can find me on the road with my husband, chasing light, mountains, and new places. I’m a tattoo lover, a fan of deep conversations, and I’ll always choose vinyl over shuffle.

Whether we’re documenting your backyard wedding, your oceanside engagement, or something entirely offbeat - I’m all in.

Because this isn’t about picture-perfect.

It’s about the feeling - and holding onto it forever.
