I’ve always had a deep love for realness and connection. I live for the magic in everyday moments and find purpose in the little things and that’s why photography feels like home to me.
It’s more than just a job. It’s a way to pause time, to hold on to the moments that matter most. I’m not here to run a business where we work once and never speak again. I’m here to build something meaningful with you to get to know your story and capture it in a way that feels honest and true.
When I lost my great-grandma (my soulmate and the woman who made me who I am) and welcomed my daughter, Iris, in the same season… it hit me how fleeting time really is. Those photos I have from Iris' birth? They're everything. They take me back to that day, those emotions, that love and that’s what I want to create for you.
I keep things super candid and relaxed. No stiff poses, just you being you. I’ll guide you at the start if needed, but soon enough, you’ll forget the camera’s even there. We’ll laugh, maybe tear up a little, and I promise it’ll feel more like hanging out than a photoshoot.
If you're looking for someone who truly cares, who’ll cheer you on and capture the heart of your story. I’d love to be part of it.

Embracing Heritage and Transformation: The Story Behind 'Annabella'
The name Annabella holds profound personal significance for me. My mother lovingly crafted this name by blending the names of my two grandmothers - Anne and Beth (affectionately known as Belle). In doing so, she created a unique name that encapsulates the grace and beauty of the women who came before me.
Throughout my life, I've cherished my middle name, Annabella, as a symbol of familial love and legacy. Following a significant life transition, I felt compelled to rebrand myself under this meaningful name. This change represents not just a new chapter, but also a bridge between honoring my past and embracing my future.
Transitioning from 'Felicity Siemens' to 'Annabella' signifies a move towards balance and authenticity. Life is a continuous journey of growth and equilibrium, and I aim for my brand to reflect that harmony.
In my photography, I strive to capture the essence of each individual's story, helping clients feel comfortable and connected to their own histories. By embracing my heritage through the name Annabella, I hope to inspire others to celebrate and preserve their own family legacies.
Capturing the big moments, the little glances, and everything in between.
Your forever starts here, let’s make sure it’s beautifully remembered.
