Annie’s journey from being in front of the camera to moving behind it reads less like a career shift and more like a natural evolution, one that has shaped her distinct eye for both the seen and the unseen. With over 20 years in the fashion, beauty, and Hollywood industries, she has amassed a client list that feels more like a curated guest list at an awards show—a collection of faces that define red-carpet royalty. It's no wonder she’s become the quiet force behind many of the industry’s most memorable campaigns, the kind you recognize without ever needing to read a tagline.

For over 16 years, Annie resided between Los Angeles and New York, working on some of the biggest campaigns to date. Alongside some of the industry’s titans—award-winning writers, producers, and directors—she learned from the best. She credits these "heavyweights" for sharpening her ability to capture the essential truth behind every campaign and photoshoot, a skill that has set her apart. But it isn’t the awards or the accolades that fuel her; it’s the pursuit of real moments, the rare ones that can’t be staged, the fleeting connections that somehow linger long after the lights fade.

Though her career has taken her to every corner of the globe, Annie feels most grounded in the South, where she finds joy in raising her two children, Atticus and Frankie, alongside her husband Shawn. Here, amid the charm and slower pace, she embraces the beauty of life’s everyday moments—the ones that matter most.
