OWNER + PHOTOGRAPHER
Annie is a Vancouver-based school and family photographer known for her warm, playful approach. As a mom of two elementary-aged kids, she brings a genuine and lighthearted energy to every session. With years of experience photographing thousands of children each year, Annie creates stunning, artistic images that families cherish for a lifetime.
Not your average school photographer!
We don’t ask kids to say “cheese” or force them into awkward poses. Instead, we play games, make silly noises, and create a relaxed environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. Whether a child is shy, grumpy, or extra silly, we focus on capturing genuine expressions and true personalities.

We work fast and can comfortably photograph 20-30 preschoolers in an hour.
Fall and spring fill up quickly, so it’s best to get in touch early. We recommend booking your photo day at least four months in advance to secure your spot. Book your Vancouver school portraits today!
We offer a variety of packages comparable to large photo studios. There is no cost for the school. Schools will receive complimentary staff headshots and class photos.
We offer just two options. Solid black or white. No lasers, no bookshelves, no props, no distractions! School will decide the colour of the backdrop.
Families can sign up to Annie’s newsletter and get notified when Annie host school portrait sessions at her home studio!
We prioritize natural light whenever possible. Our team looks for bright spaces within the school—often right by a window—to create soft, flattering portraits. Using natural light helps keep the environment calm and comfortable, especially for children who may be sensitive to camera flashes or harsh artificial lighting.
When photographing kids, we keep things fun and relaxed by playing games and using minimal equipment, so children never feel overwhelmed or intimidated by bulky gear.
