Ann photography is the best option in town. I needed headshots for work and they came out great! Definitely recommend her services.

I needed a headshot for a few work events, and seminars that were coming up and reached out to Ann @Ann Photography in Carlsbad Village to see if she could help. She went way above and beyond. We scheduled a Zoom call so she could learn more about me, and my business and helped me uncover the benefits to professional & personal branding. The shoot was great from start to finish. She put me at ease, made me feel comfortable and I could tell she knew what she was doing. At the end of the session, she introduced me to marketing platforms that would help me use the photos once processed. She sent me the proofs to review on my own and prior to "selecting the final ones", we set up an hour call to review them together and discuss how to best use them. Overall, one of the best experiences for professional/ personal development I have experienced. I will definitely be going to see Ann again, for both my business and some fun with boudoir ;) Highly recommend! read more

We had a great session and I even got to take some photos with Luna. Thank you Ann for your great work - it is much appreciated read more

Ann is a true artist. With her deep knowledge of composition, Ann proved that she is a master at her art. Balance, perspective, light, and color are all pieces that create a perfect photograph. Ann has the trained intuition to capture those moments, which brings all the aesthetic elements together. Old school wisdom, new school technology. Ann was a delight to work with. She made the shoot comfortable and welcoming. As a seasoned artist, I can see how she relishes each shot, making sure it will be her best work, every time.

This was the first time I've ever gotten professional photos done and I decided to go all out with the boudoir session. I was nervous, but a friend of mine went to Ann and insisted that she was the best - she was right! My photos are absolutely beautiful! It's a bit pricy but they were worth every penny. They look like magazine quality photos that I can look back on for the rest of my life. Thank you Ann for making this a comfortable, exciting experience! -Janna read more

OMG. This was one of the best days of my life. Ann is brilliant, her work stunning. She is worth every single penny. On top of all that, she had creative wardrobe, hair and makeup, and a great vision. When you pose for Ann she makes you feel comfortable and is there to guide when things are looking stiff or won't shoot well. She has creative gift items you can purchase. My favorite is a tall thin square paperweight with your photo on the center. One of the things I really love about Ann is how realistic she is and how practical. Keeping the photos magazine spread quality and drama. Ann also allowed me a payment plan for 20 digital files, if I could afford the top package I would have done that. I'm definitely having the paperweight made. It's always nice when someone is willing to work with you rather than try to up sell you. I will post pictures after I go in to pick my images. read more

I had an amazing time during my session with Ann. She's very professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I absolutely love my pictures! I highly recommend this photographer. read more

What an amazing Experience from beginning to end! Not only did I get amazing new photos for my businesses and my online profiles, I made a new friend. I literally felt like Ann was a long lost friend, so did my husband. Ann makes being in front of the camera so comfortable, she even taught my husband how to smile! She helped us pose and made amazing suggestions to help our brand stand out. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Her team is amazing as well, her hair and makeup artist was fantastic! Ann really is the best photographer I have ever shot with. The experience was worth the investment, she surpassed my expectations. There were so many amazing shots, it was hard to choose. I would recommend her services for any photography that you want to cherish. read more

What started out as a "bold" idea for my soon-to-be-husband's wedding gift has turned out to be an amazing journey of discovery and healing. Not only is Ann a phenomenal photographer, but her 40 Over 40 project allowed me to embrace all the struggles I have overcome to get to where I am today, and appreciate everything my body has endured in my lifetime. She truly cares about each one of her customers! Our photo session encouraged me to be brave, and I felt beautiful and strong in a way I wish I felt more in every day life.

Mission MORE than accomplished, Ann, and if I could rate you with 10 stars I would. The first line on your website is "Let me show YOU how amazing YOU are through my camera." Without exception, I have never seen such extraordinary photos of myself. You magnificently captured so much of who I know myself to be, and who I am now more ready than ever to let the world know. It was easy and amazingly comfortable to change my initial comment from "these are beautiful pictures" to "I AM that beautiful," fully owning that for the first time in my life. With immeasurable gratitude, thank you! read more

I never knew getting sexy in front of a total stranger while photographing you would be so easy! She def makes you feel at ease, comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommending Ann! (Oh, and her makeup/hair artist.. unbelievable) read more

Typically I look through the hundreds of pictures taken during a photoshoot to find 1 or 2 I kind of like of myself. With Ann!!! it's puzzling to try to cut DOWN the pictures I don't like. They ALL look amazing!! read more

I booked a boudoir shoot with Ann from a Groupon I had seen. It was supposed to be a gift for my husband for Valentine's Day. It turned out to be a gift for myself. There are a ton of Boudoir photographers out there, and Ann is incredibly beyond that. She has a gift. She sees the beauty in everyone, and showcases it through her photos. In my opinion, most Boudoir photography styles are comparable to a Penthouse or Hustler magazine. Ann's style is Victoria's Secret. She is a true artist and professional. On the flip side, she understands that a woman may have insecurities and lifts you up- making you feel empowered and beautiful! My husband and I came together to view the photos that were taken. We were in shock on how AMAZING and stunning all the photos were!! We picked out more photos than we were expecting, and have plans to purchase more as we are able to. This was the ultimate photography experience. I recommend it to anyone that seeks timeless, gorgeous photos. Whether you are looking for boudoir, family photos, portraits, she is THE BEST! She has lifelong clients over here. read more

I wanted to have boudoir pictures taken for my husband as a wedding gift. I searched Groupon and came across a few options. Ann stood out to me because the quality of her pictures were exactly what I had in mind. I live in east county so it was a drive but I did not mind at all. I had closer options but i wasn't as impressed with the pictures. The bonus was that it came with hair and make up. The first meeting I had was great. She showed me pictures and we talked about ideas and outfits. I was surprised to see that she had so many choices at her studio. I didn't expect that at all. Her studio is also very comfortable. The actually photo shoot was so much fun too! I loved my hair and make up and I felt comfortable around Ann. She had some great tips and tricks during the shoot. I received my print that came with the Groupon and decided to give that to my husband for his birthday. He was so excited. I've also shown the picture to some of my friends and they thought it was great too. I can't wait to get the book I ordered and give it to my husband. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend getting your pictures done here! read more

My photo session with Ann was amazing!! I had hair and makeup done at her Carlsbad Studio. She took amazing pictures of me that "wow"d my family and friends. I was awestruck and high from seeing myself in such a different way. I feel she truly connected with "who I am". This has given me a self confidence that is double digits. I would recommend Ann, as she is a professional and certified Master Photographer. read more

Ann is the AMAZING! I LOVED my experience! It was fun and the results were the best ever! I highly recommend Ann Photography. You will be SO glad you did! read more

I am in love with the reflection Ann captured of me - the woman in me that came out - playful, sensual, strong. She creates a safe intimacy where it was easy to be myself and went far and beyond to make all my dreams come true on film. Ann has an incredible gift for seeing you through the lens and bringing out your own natural magic. I did this as a personal project of my own exploration into loving all of myself more deeply, compassionately, and recognizing the unique beauty of my own "flaws". I think every woman should do this at every age and stage to capture the expanding beauty that comes with life experience. I love Ann and can't recommend her highly enough. I can't wait to do it again! read more

Ann is an AMAZING photographer! She is talented, dedicated and kind. Is the photographer THAT important? YES! A nice camera is just that"nice" if you don't have the talents associated with producing portraits and retouching. Remember, you need to exist in photos, as a legacy for your family. You can't frame your iPhone. When looking for a photographer to take my "round number" birthday photos, I researched for six months. I found that I wanted "magazine style" portraits, then I searched for a photographer. I found several, in other states, then found Ann, who was in the Southern California area. She photographs in the style I wanted. Not only that, she made me look 20 pounds lighter, knowing how to use just the right camera angles and lighting. Two months later, I had her photograph me, my 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters. It was a day of pure joy! We played dress up, using her extensive wardrobe, smiled and laughed, spending a special day together. If you are looking for a photographer that is perfect in every way, choose Ann. She is my photographer for life!! read more

I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband for our 1 year anniversary and I feel so lucky to have found Ann on Groupon! I was terrified I'd be stiff in front of the camera but she immediately put me at ease. She took the time to have a consult with me before the actual shoot to get to know me, explain the process and show me samples of her work. I was amazed by the quality of photos and her artistic ability! She is really so talented and kind too! I originally went in thinking I would be purchasing a gift for my husband, but it ended up turning out to be a gift to myself too. Thank you, Ann! read more

I came here for post bridal photos. I was nervous at first but Ann made me feel comfortable right away. She is extremely professional.

I am so happy I chose Ann! You are paying for the quality of these photos and they are absolutely worth it! read more

Life can bring you down sometimes and you can loose yourself. I was nervous going into this shoot especially bc I didn't feel like I would be "in shape" but walking in, meeting with Ann before the shoot calmed my nerves. She made me feel sexy and confident from helping with clothes, lighting and poses. She is completely professional and has a great eye for beautiful shots. I am completely appreciative of the time she took with taking these gorgeous photos. When I proofed them, I could not believe that they were even me! She helped bring out the inner model and confident woman I am! I would recommend anyone to come in and work with her to help capture your inner beauty and strength especially if you've lost it for just a moment. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Ann's Photography. She has years of profesional experience in the field. She truly has an amazing eye that captures your beauty and she was mentored by one of the top 4 photographers in portrait shooting. Her technic is on point and she makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures. If you have never in your life done a photoshoot, don't worry, she knows how to pose you and what angles look best for your body type. The pictures I was presented with were the most beautiful photos I have ever seen of myself. I think every woman needs a chance to do this, not only to feel amazing, but to have a keepsake to pass on your your future generations.

I met Ann at a networking event and had heard from other women what a great job she did with branding photos. As a new business owner, I was a little nervous about getting a photoshoot, but Ann put me at ease and pampered me with champagne, a makeup artist, and amazing lighting. The pictures came out amazing--better than I could have hoped. As a 50-year-old woman, I was so pleased to see myself looking 2 decades younger and like a powerful businesswoman. Thanks, Ann! read more

My experience with Ann was nothing but positive. She was commutative from the very beginning, open minded, but offered her expert opinions, and was patient throughout the process. This was something that was a personal challenge for me but she made me as comfortable as I could be. The outcome was better than I could have imagined. It was strange to see my photos, knowing that was really me. She has a true gift and I only wish every woman could have this empowering experience. read more

I had a great experience with Ann with my pregnancy photography. I had the idea to take my pregnancy photos at 38 weeks. I contacted her and she was very efficient and kind to schedule my session at her earliest convenience.

The photos came out great. I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I cannot wait to tell my friends and family how amazing Ann is. I will for sure be booking with Ann photography in the future. read more

Wow. My experience with Ann was remarkable. I am not one to have photos taken of myself and especially not in lingerie, but Ann made me so comfortable that I almost forgot how little of clothing I was in! Part of the comfort was because of her home studio with beautiful decor and hospitality. Her boudoir wardrobe selection is beautiful and there is a wide range of outfits, panties, corsets, and even accessories! She was able to capture me as the girl-next-door style up to extreme burlesque! I definitely am recommending her to anyone, even the shy! read more
