I’ve always admired Anna’s portrait work! She is not afraid to take risks, and her creativity knows no bounds. This course is full of fresh, inspiring ideas, and full of Anna’s enthusiasm and encouragement. No matter what level photographer you are, you will find enrichment and excitement from this course. She covers everything from gels, to off-camera flash, to location scouting, all the while explaining what she looks for in a portrait and in her compositions, and how she creates multiple images from the same location. You can tell Anna’s heart is in everything she creates! This course is called the “unconventional” portrait and Anna is a true master. Seeing her take risks, seeing her kids step in to be part of the fun, all of it will inspire you to try something new at your next session! I highly recommend this course if you’re looking to add more creativity to your portfolio and a more unique vibe to your sessions.

Anna is a master at portraits, and I am always in awe at the beautiful portraits she creates. This course has definitely inspired my creative side again. With a busy fall season it is exactly what I need to do during a slower time to keep my mind and creativity thinking outside the box. The way Anna shares her knowledge is incredible and very detail oriented with so many tips and tricks. I haven’t been able to dive in completely but I am so excited to as I’ve read through all the information and am so inspired to fully immerse myself. Her behind the scenes are so fun to watch to see her perspective on how she approaches a portrait, especially in a space you would never look twice at. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to tap in to their creativity and build more knowledge within the world of portraits and being intentional in their work.

Anna is one of the most creative people I know! I’ve always been in awe of her portraits and curious about her creative process, so I was thrilled when she offered a course to teach others how to create similar work.
I loved learning about the locations she chooses for simple portraits—places I would have assumed were in a blooming orchard turned out to be as simple as a lone tree in a parking lot. The behind-the-scenes insights she shared gave me a new perspective on how photographers view the world and the ways we can use ordinary spaces to create extraordinary art.
I’m so excited to experiment with all the lighting techniques and artificial light examples she covered. The multi-colored gel photo has always been one of my favorites, and now I feel empowered to create my own!
This course is one of the most informative purchases I’ve made in a long time. Anna didn’t leave out a single detail—she packed this course with invaluable knowledge and insight. I can’t recommend it enough!
