I eventually held my first Polaroid camera and knew immediately: photography was it for me. I even went and got a fancy photography degree…but that education pales in comparison to what I’ve learned after 12+ years out here in the real world.
I started Annamae Photo in 2012. A whole heap of wild, wide-open-sky knowledge has happened since—and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! The rained-out venues and snowed-in weekends. The caking dirt in my boots and collecting click-after-click on my memory cards—and ultimately transforming all of that madness into images that make your heart sing.
I was raised in Florida and grew up surrounded by tropical climates and beaches, but always felt a pull towards the West. I made my way out to California in 2014 for a friend's wedding and never looked back. Something about the people and endless landscapes drew me in. This beautiful little corner of the country constantly inspires me—not only creatively, but personally.
I’ve collected countless experiences and even more friends along the way—this work is a gift in that way. So thank you for allowing me to witness your love, and to hopefully become a friend for life.
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to create.
I’M AN EDITORIAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER WITH PASSION AND LOVE FOR DAYS (AND DAYSSSS)
I consider it such an honor to capture the love and connection between humans. It's the best job in the world.
If I wasn’t a wedding photographer, I would have been a DJ. Music is my second love and I will never show up to a shoot without a speaker—we will dance at least once!
IN ANOTHER LIFETIME...
Living my best Pom-Mom life in San Francisco with my two Pomeranians, Yoko and Chip, and my partner in crime, Matt.
Find me day-dreaming about french fries, boogying with my friends, laying on the beach or swimming in it, my next spontaneous trip somewhere new, doing something crazy—like that one time I cage-dived with great white sharks in South Africa, a great glass of vino or mezcal marg, and cooking up colorful dishes!
