Portrait Photographers in La Verne, CA

Your search for the right photographer is over! With a rich background steeped in TV, film, and dance, I bring a unique storytelling approach to each session. Every photograph I capture is more than just an image; it’s a moment frozen in time. Whether it’s a family portrait, a personal branding shoot, or the big day that you’ve worked so hard for, I strive to reflect the essence of each individual and their story. Let’s create something beautiful together and capture the moments that deserve to last!

Hi! I’m Annika Do, and I’ve been capturing beautiful moments for over 10 years—doing what I love full-time for the last 2.5 years, and I couldn’t be more excited! Every time I pick up my camera, it never feels like “work”—I truly have the best job in the world. The people I meet and photograph have changed me in so many positive ways, and my hope is to do the same for you by making your experience just as memorable. While many photographers can deliver great photos, I believe it’s about so much more than that. I want to create a space for you to fully be yourself, with your heart wide open, and let go of any poses or expectations of what photos “should” look like. Together, we’ll create something unique and meaningful, capturing this special chapter of your life, no matter how big or small. I specialize in weddings, couples, families, brands, and solo portraits. From my time in LA, where I focused on portraits, to now living in Florida, where I’ve had the privilege of working with so many amazing couples and families, every session is a new adventure. I’ll guide you, help you feel at ease, and ensure the session is full of joy and fun. I also provide previews of raw images, so you can select your favorites for editing. Plus, I work with my talented sister, Anastasiia, who creates stunning video highlights—perfect for weddings and couple sessions! Photography is my passion, my life, and my 100% choice. Check out my portfolio to see if my style resonates with you, and don’t hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to meet you and capture your story!
