HI, I'M ANN

SCHEDULE MY FREE DISCOVERY CALL 

I know how vulnerable being photographed can feel. I specialize in helping women like you - business owners, creatives, coaches, consultants - feel confident and powerful in front of the camera. That’s why I’ve created a full-service experience designed to bring out your best. You’ll never be left wondering what to do - I guide you every step of the way.

You'll start with professional hair and makeup so you can relax knowing you look fab for your shoot. Afterwards, we will shoot multiple outfits and sets, either at my home studio or on location, to create a variety of images. Don't worry about knowing how to pose, I will guide you from head to toe.

After your shoot I will narrow down your collection and retouch your images so you look your best while still looking natural. We will get together on Zoom again so that you can choose your favorite images for your collection.

Step 3: Create & Shoot

Step 4: Image Selection and Retouching

After you book, I will send you a questionnaire to help me get to know your business better. We will then meet on Zoom to plan everything you need, from outfits to props, and a shot list and session guide. Professional hair and makeup AND use of my home studio are included in your session fee, so you don't have to spend extra time or money finding and scheduling them!

When you reach out, we'll schedule a phone call to talk about your brand and your goals. Once you are ready to book your session, we will schedule your shoot and get to work!

How It Works

From start to finish the experience was comfortable and fun. Ann is a master creative and knows exactly how to capture your essence. I have had many headshots in the past but none have ever captured me so completely as the ones from my shoot with Ann! If you’re on the fence… Do It!!!!" ~Jules

Wow 🤩 I am completely blown away by how much I loved working with Ann and my headshots are the best I’ve ever had! 

Let’s take the stress out of
Brand Photography

I'm Ready!

Your brand has evolved. Your photos should reflect the confident, accomplished woman you are - not the version from 5 years ago, or a DIY headshot with bad lighting. You’ve worked too hard to hide behind outdated visuals or fear of the camera.

I cannot recommend these two enough - choosing to do this session definitely required me to step out of my comfort zone, and Ann&Kam made the day not only comfortable but an incredible memory for me. I had fun, I felt beautiful, and I got to spend the day with two amazing individuals. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will most certainly be visiting them again!" ~Teri

The process is easy and designed to create the perfect day for you 

Let's Get Started


My goal is to create the most beautiful images you have ever had of yourself. It is a collaborative process, so we will work together ahead of time to create the perfect shoot for you and to discuss both what you love and what you are insecure about. Our pricing is structured so that you only buy what you love and there is no obligation. Of course, we want you love all of your images, so get ready! That said, we want you to be 100% in love with your images and your experience. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your portraits at the viewing session, we will offer a reshoot at no additional cost to you. Our goal is to capture images that you will be excited to share.

What if I don't like my images?

Let's think of all the ways you make contact with your future clients, audiences, coworkers, etc. We can start with the obvious like LinkedIn, your social media profile images, and your website. What about your social media feed - how often are you showing up there and what do your images say about you? Do you have an email list that you reach out to regularly? Do you have a professional image on your email signature and profile? Do you use printed materials like business cards, flyers or mailers? Do you run ads? 

Let's talk about variety a little bit. When do you run marketing campaigns? Do you have images for different seasons, holidays or launches you run throughout the year? How about Behind the Scenes images to show your clients what you do. Personality images to spice it up a little? Obviously, the list goes on and on!

Where can I use my brand images?

When you schedule your session, you will also receive my brand session style guide. We'll chat about your outfits at your consultation, and I'll help you decide what works best at your session as well. If you would like even more help, I can recommend a fabulous stylist who can personally help you style your session.

What should I wear for my brand session?

We typically shoot out of our home studio in Barrington Hills, which is a unique Mid-Century Modern Architect's home located in Barrington Hills, Illinois. We are also available for off-site shoots if you have a different location in mind.

Where are you located?

We price our sessions and images separately so that you only pay for the images you love. Sessions start at $490 and include hair and makeup, your brand consultation, a two-hour photoshoot, a $300 image credit and your reveal session. Images start at $250 each with packages of 10 or more starting at $1500.

How much does this cost?

Then you are in the right place! I would guess that 90% of my clients think this before their shoot, probably because they haven’t been photographed in good lighting with posing that flatters their body. It’s my job to guide you so that you look your best, you have fun and your personality comes out. It’s your job to love and accept yourself. It won’t take you long to relax into our shoot and realize that not only is it not difficult or scary, but that you are actually very photogenic! Many clients have shared with me how positive this experience was for their self-image and how good they felt about themselves and their bodies afterwards.

I'm not a model, can you make me look good?

You might find what you're looking or in the FAQ's.
