Everything We Do, Made for You

For the lovers: Getting in front of a camera with your person can feel a little weird - I get it. That's why my shoots feel less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera. Digital, dreamy film, Super 8 video that actually feels like a movie - whatever the format, you'll forget I'm there. Engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and all the in-between moments that matter most.

For the families: Kids don't pose. Neither should you. I shoot real families in real moments - loose, unhurried, a little messy in the best way. Just you, your people, good light, and the kind of photos you'll actually want to look back on in twenty years.

For the creatives: Come hang. My workshops, styled shoots, and mentorship are built for people who feel a little awkward picking up a camera for the first time - or anyone ready to go deeper without the gatekeeping. No ego, no "you should already know this." Just a community of people figuring it out together.

For the community: Averie Ann Studios is more than a studio. I host women centered events and creative gatherings where you can show up exactly as you are - because the best things happen when the right people end up in the same room.

  • "Averie and her team at Averie Ann Studios are amazing. I truly don’t know if I can find the words to thank you for capturing our perfect day. You’re so easy to work with - you took people who are awkward in front of the camera and made us look natural. The photos are so stunning I can’t stop looking at them-and these are just the sneak peeks! Thank you for everything, you’re the best!"

    - Sandra & Jeremy

  • "I could write a book about what an amazing experience working with Averie Ann Studios is, but I’ll spare you all and just say that if you want truly incredible photos to remember your wedding by, hire them immediately. From the engagement shoot to the day of our wedding, Averie and her team were an absolute dream, capturing every moment we requested in the most beautiful way possible. I’m already trying to figure out which wall in our apartment to cover with the photos. Can’t recommend enough!"

    - Quinn & Justin

  • "Averie and her team have been everything we hoped for. She was so on point on the day of the wedding, making sure she didn’t miss a single moment or any family photo we asked for. She took advantage of every opportunity, stayed on schedule, directed family members with ease, and captured incredible candid moments we will treasure forever. She is a true professional - patient, calm, and exactly the energy you want on a wedding day. We are so thankful. You won’t regret choosing her."

    -Michelle & Domenico

  • "Averie shot our wedding and we were beyond amazed with their incredible work. She took the time to understand our traditional wedding customs, asked thoughtful questions, and was flexible and encouraging throughout the process. My wife and I are both camera shy, but Averie made us feel extremely comfortable and captured beautiful candid moments. Choosing Averie and her team was undoubtedly the best vendor decision we made. The photos captured emotion and light so beautifully. If you’re considering booking, just go for it - you won’t be disappointed."

    - Taha & Tasneem

  • "Averie made my wedding day experience seamless and captured every amazing moment. I cried when I got the full gallery, getting to relive it all over again. I booked Averie Ann Studios for the Intimate Wedding Package and, as someone who doesn’t enjoy taking photos, she made me feel comfortable and maximized every minute to capture all the details. Such a great decision hiring Averie and her team. The professionalism and expertise are phenomenal. Because of her, my family and I have the most beautiful memories to reflect back on. Thank you!"

    - Beatriz & Vernon

  • "100000% recommend Averie Ann Studios! She made everything feel so natural. We just received our wedding gallery and I am completely blown away. Words can’t express how grateful I am for this incredibly talented team. I was able to relive our entire wedding day through the photos. The candid images were everything I dreamed of and more. Even friends and family who weren’t there feel like they were by how alive the images feel. We are absolutely in love with these gorgeous memories."

    - Marina & Chris

  • "Averie is amazing! We booked Averie Ann Studios for our wedding and after our engagement shoot we knew we made the right choice. She is such a genuinely cool human and so easy to be around. We are normally like statues in front of the camera but she made us feel so comfortable. We also brought our pup and she was incredibly patient and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend her enough."

    - Alexia & Zack

  • "Averie was amazing. She is kind, friendly, professional, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She worked through quiet moments with us to create incredible images we’re so excited about, while also capturing all the candid magic of the reception. She was patient, thoughtful, and made sure every shot we wanted was covered - and then some. We loved working with Averie and would do it again in a heartbeat."

more than 15 years of documenting celebrations of love

For over 15 years, I've been the person behind the camera at the moments that knock the wind out of you - the ugly-cry laughs, the quiet "oh my god this is really happening" looks, the in-between stuff you didn't know you'd want to remember. What started as a love for capturing love has grown into something bigger: a creative studio built for couples, families, creatives, and the kind of community you actually want to belong to. I shoot on digital, film, and Super 8, because some stories want crisp and some want grainy and dreamy - and I'd rather meet you where your story already lives. I teach workshops for people who feel a little weird holding a camera. I throw events that get the right women in the same room. Whatever brought you here, I'm really glad you found me.
