About

Hi friends! My name is Anja (pronounced Anya in case we haven’t met yet!). I love chasing warm, golden light around the PNW and capturing authentic, real moments for families and couples! Some of my other obsessions are running, traveling, hiking, kayaking and pretty much any kind of adventuring (as long as it doesn't involve heights!). And coffee!! Lots and lots of coffee! I stop for coffee after every photo shoot to celebrate getting to capture so many beautiful families and their fun lives. I LOVE what I do! Also let’s be honest, getting to stop for coffee without having my kids with me for a small chunk of time is always a luxury!

Speaking of my kids, I have five (yes five!) beautiful little people (including a set of twins!) who bring lots of laughter, excitement, messes, cuddles (and sometimes tears!) to my life. We spend our days homeschooling, exploring parks and beaches and walking to coffee shops. At night when they go to sleep, I start photo editing marathons, usually listening to a podcast or with The Office on in the background. I’m happily married to the love of my life who stole my heart when we were teenagers and continually convinces me to step out of my comfort zone and go on crazy adventures with him.

I can’t wait to hang out with you and your family and to get to know you!
