Hi There! 

I’M SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU!

Anna-Mesen-Charlotte-Family-Photographer
 

I’m Anna.

A busy mom of three and a lifestyle photographer in Charlotte, NC.

I want to thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet.  I’m sure you’ve been scrolling dozens of sites trying to find a photographer that is the perfect match for you.

I’m guessing that, on one hand, you are really excited about the prospect of an upcoming photo session. You know that it's important because time is moving so dang fast. You want to document your family now, just as they are, at this very moment.  

But on the other hand, finding a photographer and booking a photo session feels like a chore… just one more “thing” heaped upon your pile of never ending “things.” You don’t want anything complicated and you want your photos to actually represent your family…. not some overly fussy, made-up, superficial version of your family. 

That’s where I come in.  I’m here to make your photo session, from our very first contact, to the final delivery of your images, straightforward, simple, and, dare I say, FUN! Your images will be a true celebration of your special family and you will be so delighted with the whole experience!

I will walk you through it.  All you have to do is show up and be yourself!

 

THE PROCESS

Your experience will be seamless from start to finish.

 

01.

Once you let me know you are “in”

You‘ll pay a session fee to reserve your date and I’ll get the ball rolling to plan the perfect family session for you. I’ll send a detailed questionnaire in which I ask specific questions that really get to the heart of the personality of your family.

02.

After that I give you a call

Based on the questionnaire, we plan a family session that perfectly fits your family.

03.

I will make sure that you are well prepared

I’ll send you a comprehensive prep guide and be readily available to answer any and all questions you have leading up to your session date.

 

04.

For the actual session, all you have to do is show up!

Seriously, we will already have an awesome game plan in place, so the session will be low-stress and fun! Your session time is not a time to worry about performing for the camera, but instead a rare opportunity to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your family. I will provide any prompting or directing as needed, but mostly I let candid moments and genuine interactions drive the session.

05.

About 2 weeks after your session, I will send you a slideshow that contains all of your fully edited images.

After viewing the slideshow, you will have the opportunity to select one of three collections for purchase. All collections contain digital images as well as a print credit to use on your choice of professional-quality prints, beautiful wall art, and hand-crafted albums. Once you have purchased your collection, you are ready to download your selected images and use your print credit in your online gallery store!
