For the past 10 years, I've loved developing lasting relationships with my clients to help them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'm a true romantic at heart, and want to capture all the things that make your love story unique. Getting your photos taken can be awkward and vulnerable, but I want to help you embrace those feelings and capture the genuine emotions you feel on such a special day. I can't wait to get to know you and your partner and start this journey together!

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!

QUICK NOTE: I AM OFFERING MINI SESSIONS AUGUST 9TH & SEPTEMBER 6TH. 20 MINUTES | 10 IMAGES | $150 | CORONADO ISLAND | TO SAVE YOUR SPOT MESSAGE ME Hi there! I’m Diane, I’m a San Diego based photographer, wife, mom to a wonderfully wild tiny human, introvert that sometimes reads extrovert, history nerd, and a believer that the best days are the simple days, with little moments full of love. These are also the moments to capture and enjoy for years to come. ​ I am never as happy as when I am pursuing creativity. Which is why I am here, dedicated to creatively capturing your moment in time, as we try to savor the beauty of it. Cheesy? Probably. Okay, definitely. But honestly, what’s more important? When we look back, it will be on the moments where we feel passionate and alive. I am here to provide you with beautiful images that capture YOUR passion. Whether it's your family, your love story, or what you do everyday that drives you. A special note to the moms and dads: I absolutely love working with kids. They bring a unique authenticity to every session because they simply haven't learned how to not be themselves. It's magic. So whether your little ones are wild and adventurous, or quiet and reserved, I would be honored to document this moment in time for your family. I am here to coordinate the chaos, play silly games, make them laugh, and have fun with all of you. So no need to tell them to say cheese, just show up and we will have fun.
