About AE Portraits
Annie was born and raised on a mule farm way outside Spokane, Washington. Besides 35 mules she had a pony named Cloud, a Bassett Hound named Bullet, 12 barn cats, and a 600lb pig named Rasberry.
After receiving her AA in Portraiture at SFCC she went on to obtain her BA at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. She would then relocate to NYC and begin her career assisting Mary Ellen Mark. She stood out quickly through her infectious energy and unmistakable laugh. Always striving to find a freeing energy in her portraits and commercial fashion work as she has an innate ability to bring out the best in people. Permanently relocating to Los Angeles in 2004, Annie is continually hired by clients and brands who appreciate her talents, energy, professionalism and the bright, vibrant, romantic vision that she brings to each shoot.
When she’s not shooting, she can be found scouring thrift stores and flea markets, supporting her slightly out of control vintage habit. She’s obsessed with decor, rehabing her parents farm and hthe desert,
Annie is the proud owner of a ranch in Joshua Tree which also doubles as a photo shoot location and an Artist’s retreat.
Annie and her son, Cash have a home in Los Angeles. Cash is enrolled at SF State in the photo program (very proud mama fact) and Annie currently splits her time between Los Angeles and Spokane.
