I am catching my breath looking at my daughter's 1st birthday milestone photos - truly all I can say is wow. Anne is an amazing artist/photographer and so talented. She was incredibly patient through my daughter's tantrums and managed to capture some truly amazing moments that I will cherish forever. Her eye for color, detail and composition, along with her imaginative style, easily make her one of the very best newborn/child photographers you will find. I'm so glad I found her work, it is really something special. I will definitely be returning for future sessions or for the next baby! :)

First off I want to say how wonderful it was to work with Anne for both maternity and newborn photo sessions. From the moment of inquiry, she was very responsive and knowledgable in answering all my questions. She listened to what I wanted my photos to look like, and with her guidance and experience, she created such beautiful works of art. You can tell she loves what she does and it is clearly reflected in the final product. I also felt very safe working with her during Covid, she takes very careful measures and ensures everyones safety. We can't say enough wonderful things about her and you won

I absolutely treasure the photos Anne has taken of both my children, and will for years to come. She's incredibly talented, and can coax laughs and smiles out of tiny humans in even the grumpiest of moods. We travel from Seattle down to Olympia for our sessions with her, she's such a delight to work with.

We could not be more thrilled with the photos and our experiences with Anne at Fairies & Frogs Photography. Anne is an absolute artist and has provided us with some amazing works of art in our newborn pictures. We used her for newborn photos for both of our girls and we are in love with the pictures she captured. On top of being incredibly happy with the end product, Anne made the photo-taking process enjoyable. She put us at ease throughout the process and didnt make us feel rushed whatsoever. We had plenty of time to nurse and get baby comfortable and sleepy. She was also so good with both

We are absolutely thrilled with our photographs from Fairies & Frogs Photography! We loved our sons newborn photos so much that we have since been back for his 1 year photos and now his newborn sisters photos.
Anne is amazing with kids and babies- she even got our impossible two year old boy to sit still and to smile for pictures with his new baby sister! He never sits still, let alone smile for the camera! Her studio provides the perfect little outfits and backdrops for photos and she managed to capture the sweetest expressions on our baby. I am so happy we will have these photo-memories

Simply amazing! The location, setup, amenities and general ambiance in addition to Annes fabulous way with babies is the perfect combination for getting photos you will fall in love with. Anne went above and beyond my expectations and I was able to get simply perfect one year photos of my little. Having a baby born during these unprecedented times (COVID) had me worried about her just not screaming much less actually smiling for photos. Anne exceeded any hopes I had and provided my family with photos well enjoy for years to come. Prompt and beautiful results for me to view and order shortly
