Anna

Originally from the Southwest, though Anna is a true Northern Californian gal at heart. She is the living-breathing "Renaissance Woman": an artist, life coach and musician (she sings and plays the guitar, ukulele, and piano). It all started with a toy camera as a child, and now she masterfully captures the heartfelt visual stories of families into timeless memories. She is a firm believer that we aren’t meant to do life alone and that community and storytelling help us understand one another and make the world go ‘round! 

IN WHAT HISTORICAL PERIOD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE LIVED?

I think it'd be so much fun to live in the 60's or 70's just for the fashion. Avid Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fan here 🙋🏻‍♀️and Miriam's wardrobe gets me every single episode. She's SO fabulous!

WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?

I'm going to be cheesy and say my family ;) I love my crazy-wacky family to bits. If we're talking a physical possession, then my camera obvi :D.

WHAT FICTIONAL CHARACTER DO YOU MOST IDENTIFY WITH?

Pretty sure this has changed over various seasons of life, but I feel like I'm a Monica-Phoebe hybrid from Friends ;)! I can be Type-A organized like Monica, but have a hippie-dippie side like Phoebe.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE San francisco HANGOUTS?

Hands down favorite spot to view the Golden Gate Bridge is Marshall's Beach. It's a half mile hike down coastal stairs to a pretty private beach that will never disappoint for photos whether it's foggy or sunny!

Go-tos

OUR PLACE PAN

My boyfriend and I love cooking together and try new recipes often. He got me the Our Place pan for Christmas and it's pretty much the prettiest pan ever :)

MATCHA LATTES

I love making matcha lattes in the afternoon during my break from editing. Organic Premium Matcha from Full Lead Tea Co. is some of the best!

PODCASTS

I'm secretly obsessed with news podcasts! I love the Your Daily Drive playlist on Spotify because it's the perfect mix of news + your top music suggestions!

GOTTMAN APP

One of my favorite apps for couples is the Gottman Card Decks mobile app! It's basically an app that has all sorts of card decks + conversation starters to help promote conversation and intimacy with you partner. I'm a resource fiend and LOVE equipping my couples with ways to make their relationship thrive and grow.

PUNNY STATIONARY

I'm OBSESSED with punny stationary! One of my love languages is Words of Affirmation, so my love for words, punny cards + stationary is pretty self explanatory ;). I still believe in the art of sending snail mail, because who doesn't love a cute card to bring a smile to someone's face??

CHAMPAGNE

I'm a big lover of champagne! Give me all the bubbles.
