Family Sessions
Photos should be treasured,
not forgotten on a hard drive.
Photo sessions should be fun and stress-free!
Many families struggle to capture authentic, joyful moments together, leading to missed memories and regret.
Sigh. Sad face.
When you see pictures of your family in your home, it's more than just a photo—it's a memory—frozen in time.
Studies show that photos displayed in the home boost self-confidence and give a sense of belonging. Let your child wear that silly hat or bring their beloved stuffed toy to the session.
The day will come when they won’t want it anymore.
“My family is a repeat client. Annette took my son’s first month photos and they are my favorite memories, so when my girl was born I had to have Annette take hers too. There is nothing more special than capturing this time in my family’s life. I love every photo. Annette is patient and so fun and easy to work with. Pictures can be a lot with two littles but not with her. Make sure to call Annette for your baby and family photos!!! You’ll have a photographer for life.”

Fairytale & Fantasy *
If fantasy is more your thing, I’d love to explore something whimsical or creepy with you. This is the perfect option for cosplay, book lovers, and theater kids. I, myself, was a theater kid.
You get to play dress up for the day and be the star of your own show!
It’s just like a regular photo session, except you can wear your crown and cape!
High School Seniors
Embrace your teen’s bold, quirky side while they twirl around in their cap and gown! Celebrate them and their accomplishments. High school is hard, and they did it! Woohoo! This is probably the last time you’ll get photos of your teen until their wedding.
We’ll share laughs while adding a little sprinkle of joy to their graduation images. Boring is for school; let’s have some fun celebrating this milestone!

Portrait Session Process
Consultation Call
We’ll begin with a quick phone call to discuss all your hopes and dreams. Who, what, and why do you want photos? I’ll share pricing and my passion for printing with you.
I have samples you can touch and feel, and let’s be honest. That’s the best part!
Photo Session
I’ll have everything ready to go when you arrive. I will gently guide and pose you. Be ready to laugh, I’ll grab a few candids, too. Portraits are fun, and shouldn’t feel stuffy or stressful. It’s YOUR day to shine!
Lightly retouched images will be ready within 2-3 weeks.
Each session begins with a $150 creation fee for my time and materials. Then, you only invest in what you want.
Gift Certificates: These make great gift ideas. Ask for one, or give one as a gift. Visit my Pricing Page here.
All portrait Sessions take place in the High Desert here in Southern California.
Check out the FAQs if you have questions. You can send a text if you’d like a quick answer.
Reveal, Ordering, & Hand-Delivered
You’ll choose the images you want printed and in albums. I will help you choose; sometimes it can be hard.
3-4 weeks after that, I’ll hand-deliver your wall art and albums to you.
Easy and fun, right?
