About
Although my personal interest spans a variety of styles and subject matter from food to astrophotography, I specialize in lifestyle portraits and events. I value my client's input above all else and strive to produce unique images through a collaborative effort. I believe having a genuine love and passion for photography is what sets me apart and inspires me and in turn, I hope to inspire others! Taking photos is what I do but capturing memories and special moments is why I do it. Message me and let's chat!

Excellent to work with! Collaborative, had great ideas (picked the perfect engagement spot when our first option got rained out) and was the perfect mix of friendly and professional! Hoping to work with Annie again in the future!

Annie did our wedding photoshoot and was amazing! They shot the ceremony, did family photos and then went with us for an offsite shoot. All of these events were handled and shot perfectly, their professionalism and skill made the experience seamless and fun. The photos we received afterwards were stunning, and we will cherish them for a lifetime. Thank you Annie!

Annie was great! She came through on short notice and got back to me right away. She was a huge help in planning my proposal and she made sure everything was ready for the moment at the site.

Annie Yu was wonderful to work with for our wedding/elopement. She is easy to talk to, flexible, and incredibly creative, which made the entire experience stress-free. We felt completely confident trusting her with such an important day, and she captured it beautifully. We highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies based on travel, type of project, post-processing fees, etc.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to make sure a new client is comfortable no matter what and to let him/her/them know that I value their opinion and creativity. After confirming a set date and time, I like to schedule a time a few days before to speak with them in detail about the shoot and get ourselves excited for it!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied arts and entertainment media management at Columbia College Chicago as well as film and photography at Cleveland State University and Visual Design at Cuyahoga Community College.
