WELL HELLO THERE!
I'm Annie Marie, a Minneapolis-based photographer, and I believe photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about capturing the moments that matter most. The laugh, the connection, the youth growing up too fast.
My life is rooted in faith, family, friendship, and creating meaningful art for others. This business isn’t about me—it’s about you. Your story. Your people. Your legacy. I’m here to guide you through an experience that feels comfortable, personal, and unforgettable—from our first hello to the moment you hold your memories in your hands.
I know life is busy. I know being in front of the camera can feel awkward. But I also know this: you’ll never regret having the photos… only not having them. These aren’t just images. They’re heirlooms. They’re time capsules. They’re a gift for your future self and the people who love you.
Take a look around. If you agree that you deserve more than just average photos, then reach out and tell me how you want to be photographed. 952-470-2118

THE AGELESS BEAUTY CAMPAIGN
One of the most powerful things I ever did for myself was to have my own portrait taken. It is rare that I like a photo of myself so I went into it skeptical. But I trusted the photographer. I was afraid to even look at the photos, but instead was able to see my beauty as he did. I was finally ok with every wrinkle and freckle and mole because it told my story of a woman who has lived many adventures and raised beautiful children. For the first time, I was ok with my flaws because I realized they were not flaws.... they were ME.
Trust that I will see that beauty in you and can connect with your soul. You deserve to have a day for yourself to be re-united with your beauty within.
I WANT TO EMPOWER WOMEN TO SEE THIER BEAUTY. TO EMBRACE THE WOMAN THEY ARE AT EVERY AGE. TO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE AND BEAUTIFUL THE WAY THEY ARE.

awards, media & recognitions...
Although my number one priority is taking good care of my clients needs... I could never grow and get better if I didn't challenge myself daily. I often enter image competitions to keep me on my toes both creatively and technically. I love learning and feel that I can better serve my clients if I am serving myself as well. Here are just a few of the fun awards and recognitions I have received.
