I’m a Headshot Specialist & Portrait Photographer

originally from the Pacific NW starting my professional career in computer programming moving into Testing financial software and capping off my IT career with Project Management for software implementations. It wasn’t until a major layoff back in 2016 that jump started my journey back into the world of photography and so happy I did! I specialize in High-End Corporate and Acting Headshots most notably used for LinkedIn and performer portfolios for Musical Theater, Acting, Modeling, and Dance.

Anna is such a great photographer and friend. She knows how to make you feel relaxed in front of the camera, and helps you have fun while also knowing how to capture your inner beauty. Her picture quality is wonderful, she always delivers top-knotch quality, and goes above and beyond to give you the best session and portraits possible. I will always recommend Anna to anyone, whether local to Chicago or in other areas!

I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Anna on a branding and headshot shoot! My experience was beyond pleasurable, and Anna has such great energy that brings out the best in anyone for their photos! If you're looking for one of the most talented photographs in the Greater Chicagoland area, Anna is one to consider! She is quite the consummate professional, and she will help you present yourself most brilliantly through the optics.

Anna is incredibly talented, smart, and professional, and provides a very fun and relaxed atmosphere to capture the true essence of a person in headshots and other photos! She is magnificently creative and coached me throughout in a non-intimidating, collaborative and effective way. Her equipment is top notch and she graciously spent so much time with me to get the perfect shots. This is the first time I was getting professional headshots done in about 16 years, so I had anxiety about the process and end results. Anna more than delivered, and I’m now incredibly hopeful for new job opportunities from these shots! Thank you, Anna!

I wholeheartedly give Anna the highest recommendation I can. The tips and pointers she provided in advance of the shoot helped me identify what about me I wanted her to capture in a headshot and how to use hair, makeup, clothes, and accessories to get there. She was skilled, encouraging, and supportive from the moment I walked into her studio until I accepted the finished image. Responses from myself and everyone who sees the image confirm that it was an all-around 5-star experience.

I loved working with Anna on my headshots. She put me at ease instantly which clearly shows in the photo. And I've received so many compliments!One recommendation, if I may. Let Anna guide you in selecting the best shot. She's a pro. And very good. And sees you as you *really* are. Trust her.

I would love for the opportunity to direct and capture you being the most authentic version of you. I know the lights and camera gear can be intimidating, but never fear, it’s just me, a friend that may make you share in a few belly laughs throughout your session.

Oh did I say that I can sing too? How well you ask? That’s for me to know and you to find out.
