Now that we’ve addressed the Who, Why, and Where, we’re going to talk about the HOW. Let’s break it down…

What’s a beauty portrait?

A beauty portrait is you at your gala-best. It’s you in your imagination when….

“When situation warrants professional and breathtaking… call Anna. Each one of the masterpieces Anna captured for me has made the news, been picked up by marketing teams, or is being used at a very high level. Rightfully so…”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends! 

Despite setbacks and cancellations we got most of the gang into the photo this year right before Christmas…

When Angel contacted me to schedule her family portraits I knew right away she was going to be a ton of fun to photograph. Check out their two Christmas card photos at the end! Would you ever do a family photo in your Christmas Eve pajamas? 

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I could photograph women of this age ALL. YEAR. LONG. You women who have lived life and wear it on your skin with pride… let me photograph you, please? You have the je ne sais quoi that a bleached-blond, size-00, 18-year old can never have. You have an sexiness combined with subtlety that is impossible to put into words, but oh-so-beautiful to photograph.

Work smarter, not harder, and communicate yourself succinctly, successfully. 

I am beyond glad to announce that this year, the week before Christmas, I will be taking a very limited number of sittings in…

Preparing for a family portrait is not for the faint of heart. If you done it even once, you know this. It’s not as easy as it looks, is it? Especially if you, mom, or dad, are the ones with the nice camera on a tripod with a timer, trying to get everyone to look AT THE SAME TIME!? HOW HARD CAN IT BE, RIGHT?

Malachi and Jerusha came over to help with some light tests and I’m loving this Ralph-Lauren, but kind-of-old-hollywood-inspired photographs.
