Welcome!

Meet the creative behind the lens.

My name is annika.

From birth to vows, I believe in providing thoughtful, timeless photography for life’s most meaningful chapters. I want to cheer you on and calm your nerves. As a mom to two beautiful little kiddos, I know what it means to desire authentic, timeless photos to look back on years from now.

I’ve called the Fox Valley home since 2018, after graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a dual degree in Film and Photojournalism, where I learned to capture depth and emotion through storytelling.

In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis or pickleball, traveling, binging Netflix with my husband, and gathering all of my favorite people for different types of events and parties!

Girl, senior year looks good on you!!! 🤩🤩

From the Lamers’ wedding photos, to newborn photos, to now family photos, I love to see my families grow and change over the years 🥰🥰

This senior session was extra special because I’ve known this senior since he was just 8 years old! 🎓 This is my husband’s younger brother, Andres, a Freedom High School graduate and proud member of the boys’ soccer team! ⚽

I am so excited to announce that I am now collaborating with @birthwisewellnesscenter to capture the beauty that is birth!!

Photographing births is probably my favorite type of photography- it’s raw, it’s intimate, sometimes messy, but

This summer has been a quieter one for me- I gave birth to my second child in late February, haven’t taken on as many weddings, and have been enjoying the extra free time this summer with travel and plans with friends.
