• Anniemations Photography

    . . . look around, enjoy yourself.  Welcome to my blog.  My name is Ann Montgomery and I am a photographer with a desire to capture the connection people have with each other and the spirit within themselves. I love to focus on the "candid" moments.  The smirk, the tease, the kiss or the laugh (sometimes even the cry).  I believe these moments embrace your spirit.

    I am a mother, a wife and . . . an artist.

    Thanks for stopping by . . .

A mixture of styles, an INCREDIBLE shoot!

Bridals and Off Camera Flash seem to be born for one another.  This gorgeous bride met up with me to try it out and WOWZERS!  We first did some single shots and then met up with the groom on top of the mountain…after the sun went down we put away the lights and finished up with some natural light shots.  Tons of fun … I love the results.  Enjoy and congrats to the darling couple:)

POSE FOR BOWS sneak peek and product preview!

I have to say this has been one of my FAVORITE portrait parties ever!  It was so fun to get all the neat products, it was like Christmas!  Thanks to all those that attended and your products are ALL to die for!  So without further ado … here’s the pics and the products!

This first little group of darlings belong to Lorraine Hunt, a very talented quilter.  She brought me the CUTEST baby quilt (the backing is minky!)  You can see the quilt in the picture with all four girls (scroll down a few) I used it for a prop:)Thanks Lorraine and I am sure I will be contacting you again for more!  If you are interested in contacting Lorraine about her darling quilts, email me and we’ll get ya the details.

Next is a group of FOUR girls (oldest age 3!) aren’t they dolls!  Their talented mother Alexis Hicks makes these classy vintage bows/headbands (I LOVE the feathers!) to contact Alexis about purchasing bows email her at lexielou67@hotmail.com (quilt in picture is the one I got from Lorraine).

Next we have the darling little trio from the talented Hailey Sant.  Her bows are so cute and unique, I love the fabric flowers!  To contact Hailey about ordering email her at haileysant@hotmail.com

Now, how can I properly introduce the CUTEST KIDS CLOTHES EVER!  (Hopefully that will do!)  Stephanie Rasband with PEPPERGRASS CLOTHING makes these custom clothes/ties to fit your needs!  I am so excited to get mine~you know there will be pictures to follow!  You MUST check her out (click on the link to visit her site).

This next group of cuties I have had the pleasure of photographing before (during the Secretly Spoiled photo shoot) so you KNOW they are darling!  They brought me the motherload of bows, flowers, headbands and hats!  My kids may go hungry but they will never go un-accessorized again!  You can view their darling products online at LADY BUGS & LILACS and you really should!

Next we have the mastermind behing ROCK THESE BOWS, Tia Pendleton.  Her stuff is so darling!  My 12 year old is in love!  Check her stuff out for a unique twist on the typical hair bow/flower, you won’t regret it!

and last, but certainly not least, we have Jennifer Mosley with MO’S BOWS, she has a HUGE (and I mean huge) variety of bows, flowers, hats, pettiskirts (aren’t the cheetah ones divine?) and car seat covers.  I had the hardest time choosing my trade, but finally made some decisions (thank heavens for mesquitos or I would have lingered forever!)

Thanks to all that participated, it was a great time.  I think next year I will do another trade party, it will probably be open ended then, so watch for that and work on your “skills”.

FINAL Portrait Party! ~fall colors, ocf, and “The Meadow”!

Jake + Brittan + OCF = TRUE LOVE

This couple is so cute and I am so happy for them:)We headed out at 10 am (can you imagine?!?!  I love OCF!) battled the wind, but got some incredible images.  YAY!

I still have 2 spots left for the POSE FOR BOWS portrait party and 5 sessions left available for the end of the year.

Eyelash Extensions by Stevi :)

I had the fun opportunity to take a friend of mine out and try out the new off camera flash on the beach…LOVED IT!  She went and had her eyelashes done by the EVER WONDERFUL ~ Eyelash Extensions by Stevi, image no mascara, no eyelash curler AND still GREAT LASHES!  She does incredible work so check her out!  The funniest story about the last picture!  We were standing on the side of the road, I was having my model try and hitch a ride … just then three young lads (boys around the age of 10) cruised by on their bicycles.  One of them says, just as they are passing by, “I’ll give you a ride!”  HA!  We couldn’t stop laughing, watch out ladies!
