Annie’s love for photography began almost at birth. Raised by a professional photographer, she grew up surrounded by cameras, images, and the art of capturing meaningful moments. She took her first photograph at just three and a half years old—an image of her parents sitting on a bench at the St. Louis Botanical Garden, a place that remains a lasting source of inspiration and helped shape her love for nature photography.

Her journey expanded on her 15th birthday, when her father gifted her first DSLR camera and passed down the professional gear that helped shape his own work. From photographing her younger cousins’ sports games to creating portraits for friends, families, birthdays, and special occasions, Annie discovered a passion for telling stories through her lens. In her upcoming solo art exhibit, she invites viewers to experience the world as she sees it—full of color, connection, memory, and wonder.
