Ann's Photography

The Cookies with Santa is amazing. Great experience, best Santa ever. Really lovely photos

My fiancee and I have had our Christmas cards made with Ann for the past two years and we are going on a third! Ann is not only does a great job photographing, but sells an enjoyable experience having your pictures taken. She does more than just posing and snapping photos -- she learns about you to find creative ways to capture who you are in a photograph. For us, it was having photos of us sledding down a hill with our dog and building a snowman with her as well! We have enjoyed the process and end result so much, we have had her do our save the dates as well!

Ann is an amazing photographer and is wonderful to work with. We have used her on numerous accounts from capturing mine and my husbands proposal, to maternity and our first year with our son and a couple family sessions. Her wisdom, knowledge and experience definitely shows in the studio and in her work. I highly recommend her for any photo experience.

When it comes to having a photograph of an occasion made you have two choices: someone who takes pictures, and a professional that creates custom portraiture with training that includes appropriate lens choice, flattering lighting pattern, tasteful design, applied color theory, elegant posing, a manner that puts you at ease, and inspired creativity. With the notion that anyone who now owns a camera is a "photographer", people tend to forget that certified, master professionals offer a very different product.

Linda Packard is purely and simply a creative genius. I've seen her in action with my newborn for a session that yielded life moments that we proudly display and are excited to hand down to our daughter as an heirloom. When you have a newborn baby you have very little opportunity to create beautiful custom artwork CORRECTLY. Linda's passion for photographing newborns was obvious during our session. We felt at ease knowing she had the knowledge, equipment, creativity, and skill set to create memorable portraits. Her sense of styling the session and lighting choices were tastefully chic! Linda's a CPP and a Master Photographer, which means hat she's been recognized amongst the Professional Photographers of America (the world's oldest and largest association for imaging professional) as a certified professional photographer, and a Master in photography. This is not to be taken lightly. What it means is you can leave your worries about did she get the exposure correct or is the baby's face sharp, or will this pose make me look like a whale at the door, and enjoy your portrait session trusting Linda will capture tear inducing artwork.

So when it comes down to capturing something (or someone) with a time sensitive limitation, who will you choose to properly capture your portraits?

Thank you so much, Linda, for the incredible artwork you've created for our family!

Ann was a fantastic wedding photographer who gave us her 110%. As a solo shooter who traveled to Wisconsin for us, she literally ran 11 miles (with a step app to prove it) making sure to get every one of the right shots on our big day! The pictures were completely amazing because she truly caught the essence of who we are. When we look back in 50 years to remember that day, it'll be exactly as it should be and we could not be luckier to feel that way.

Our pictures of Julian are Great! You absolutely captured his personality and we couldn't be happier. And your patience with all his shenanigans was beyond appreciated! You have a great knack of getting the kids to respond to you, we will treasure theses images for a long time!! Next time we must do an outdoor shoot!

My daughter's senior pictures were amazing. Ann really caught her unique personality and managed to make me happy with some traditional type shots as well. I can say that compared to what my daughter's school was offering, Ann blew them out of the water in every category possible. Price, quality, quantity, and did I mention quality? So of course I had to come back for our Family pictures and again, I was impressed. I am NOT a photogenic person at all, but she managed to take shots of me that I actually liked and didn't want to hide in a photo album. Her shoots are fun, inventive, and completely unlike any other photographer out there, all while retaining a polished and elegant look that everyone can appreciate. I know I'll be going to her again for our next family occasion.

We used Ann's photography for our wedding in 2011 after finding her website. The engagement photos she took for us in Boone NC came out beautiful, they just made me more excited for our wedding. Our wedding images were even more stunning, and I still cherish everything. Ann gives you her full attention when you book with her. She makes sure to listen to what you want. She is very professional and kind. Since then, my husband and I have used Ann for several family photo sessions. I highly recommend her and her work.

Ann's Photography more than surpassed our expectation! Ann and her assisting photographers do high quality work that truly captures the moment. Working with Ann was very enjoyable and fun! From the engagement session to the wedding day we are happy that her and her services were apart of one of the happiest times of our lives!

I absolutely loved having Ann as my wedding photographer. She is so passionate about what she does and it really shows in her work. Her prices are very good for what she gives you. I've had nothing but good things to say about my engagement and wedding photos and I love going and looking back at them.
