Romantic images for fleeting moments.
I am so happy that you've made it here!!
You're not looking to be one of the many. That your unique story is being captured the way you've always envisioned it.
My goal & hope is that you'll walk away from your experience feeling like you've been seen, & heard.
Let's get to know each other a little better, shall we?
Hello! It's me again!
I'm a romantic at heart
My love for stories & books came early in life.
We had reading badges in elementary school. If we managed to reach our book goal for the month, we would earn a free, personal pan pizza. Let's just say, I got a lot of free pizza. :)
Today my love for reading has only intensified, except now I have to buy my own pizzas.
Getting lost in a good book.
SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ARE........
There's just something about putting Gilmore Girls on in the chilly days of fall while wearing cozy sweaters.
I've watched, & heard the show so many times I'm pretty sure I'm fluent in Gilmore.
Oy with the poodles!!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ARE........
There is an art to slow living, but I'm finding my way.
Making more time & space for family & friends. To watch for glimmers throughout my days. To soak in each & every season as it is, and as it comes.
It's an art that I'd love to master some day.
Slow Living
SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ARE........
Hand written letters is one of my biggest love languages. I have a memory box full of letters I use to write both during school & with pen pals.
Pair that love with a love for vintage items like old leather bound notebooks, beautiful hand bound books with gold trim, pink glass, jewelry, clothing, etc. It just makes my heart so so happy!

Our family has been lucky to have her shoot our engagement, wedding, and now maternity photos over the last few years. She is a loving, caring person, and we have loved the sweet, thoughtful touches she's brought out in all of our photos. We can't wait to see photos of our future sessions as our family grows. Thank you for everything, Hope Ann!

frequently ASKED QUESTIONS
do you have payment plans? Will we have to pay it all at once?
what all do you photograph?? What is your style?
how far are you willing to travel & what is your fee?
How will I know what to wear?
What if I need to cancel?
do you include any physical products such as prints or a usb?
Do you have payment plans? Will we have to pay it all at once?
When you book with me I require a 50% non refundable retainer so I can secure your portrait session date for you.
After that all you have is 1 more payment until your session is paid in full.
Your collection needs to be paid in before your portrait session date.
What all do you photograph? What is your style?
I use to just specialize in engagements & weddings. And I love photographing my former wedding & engagement clients milestone moments. It's such a special thing for me to be able to document.
As for my style, it is natural film. (I'm not doing any actual film work at this moment in time, but it may be coming soon.) This is just the style I love, adore, and it gives the images that romantic feel to them.
How far are you willing to travel & what is your fee?
I am always down for an adventure! I start charging a travel fee if your session is beyond Winston-Salem, NC, or Cana, VA.
Travel fees are added after the retainer is paid. From there we can split the payments if need be.
If you would like me to fly to another state, the travel charges will be figured up 1 month before your session date. (Airlines change prices often)
How will I know what to wear?
I can help you there!
I've created a Portrait Session Prep Guide exclusively for Hope Ann clients. It contains valuable resources such as choosing outfits, tips & vendors to work with for hair, make-up, & nails, what to do if it rains, and so much more!!
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel your portrait session up to 48 hours before your scheduled date. You can choose a partial refund, or re-schedule to another date & time.
Do you provide any physical products such as prints or a USB?
No, I don't provide any other physical products except for albums.
There is an option within your online gallery to order lab quality prints & canvases. The professional printing lab my online gallery works with is called, White House Custom Color.
With our time together I will teach you how to backup your images, so they never get lost if your computer or other devices crash.
