Your love is art. Let’s capture it.
NEWPORT BEACH, CA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
FOR ALL YOUR LOVE,
IN ALL IT'S MANY FORMS
Love creates the most meaningful stories. I’m here to capture them with timeless, artful imagery
The kind of love that shines in your child’s eyes when they look up at you. The quiet, powerful beauty of your growing belly. The soft gaze of an adoring fiancé. The chubby cheeks and sleepy sighs of a brand-new life. These aren’t just moments — they’re art waiting to be captured. I’m here to preserve the tenderness, the connection, and the beauty that makes your story yours.
Hi, I'm Annika — an Orange County-based lifestyle photographer with a deep love for capturing the art in everyday moments. To me, photography isn’t just about images; it’s about storytelling, emotion, and preserving the beauty that often goes unnoticed. As a mother, I’ve come to truly value presence — holding onto the fleeting, magical moments that make life ours. That longing to bottle up the beauty of my own journey inspired me to create a space for others to do the same. Through a blend of heart and artistry, I’m here to help you preserve your most meaningful memories in a way that feels timeless, personal, and true.
I'm Annika
& for all the treasures you've been given in this life
[ON-IK-UH] because we're close like that
Let’s take a brief moment in time and save it forever, like a message in a bottle to find when you need it the most.
I’m drawn to the kind of moments that can’t be staged — the quiet ones, the wild ones, the in-between ones that speak louder than words. My sessions are rooted in connection and guided by authenticity. Whether you’re laughing out loud, wrapped in a still embrace, or chasing little feet through golden light — who you are in that moment is enough. It’s beautiful. It’s real. That’s the magic I’m here to capture. Come just as you are, and let the love do the rest.
we chase connection over perfection here
the most beautiful thing we can do is to love fully
This is where you can get a feel for my work and what a session with me is truly like. My hope is that you not only see the photos, but feel them — the emotion, the connection, the beauty in every frame. I’m drawn to a timeless, soft editing style that’s full of color and life. During our session, you can expect a relaxed, playful atmosphere where laughter flows freely — especially with your little ones. It’s all about capturing real moments, honestly and artfully.
this is more than just a photo...
it's pieces of your legacy

When she photographed my shy son, she made him feel very comfortable and captured him beautifully. If I could I would buy every single photo she captured!"
