Hi, I’m Anna — a photographer based in West Salem, Wisconsin in the beautiful Coulee Region, where I’ve been documenting love stories for the past six years. I still have those “pinch me” moments because turning real, joy-filled moments into lifelong memories truly never gets old.
To me, photography is so much more than showing up and taking pictures. It’s about creating an experience where you feel relaxed, confident, and completely yourself. When you book a session with me, you can expect guidance every step of the way — I’ll direct your poses and help everything feel effortless, natural, and most of all, fun.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me soaking up life on the farm with my husband, Andrew, and our sweet daughter, Adaline — likely outside enjoying the sunshine.
Thanks so much for considering me to capture this moment in your story. I’d love to connect and hear more about what you’re dreaming up!
xo, Anna

What to Expect
Once you book a session with me, the real fun begins — planning your shoot! I’ll help you choose a location that fits your style and vision, and I’m always happy to offer outfit inspiration that photographs beautifully with your chosen backdrop. Most of my sessions take place around the La Crosse, WI area, but if you have somewhere else in mind, just let me know!
During your shoot, I’ll usually play a little music and guide you through some fun prompts to help you (and anyone with you!) loosen up and feel relaxed in front of the camera. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely enjoy the experience from start to finish.
"Anna is amazing to work with! She reached out multiple times before our wedding to ensure that I got all of the pictures I was wanting! She goes above and beyond to make pictures fit the couple perfectly! I can not imagine having a better photographer on our wedding! Anna was timely and made sure to keep us on schedule and capture our wedding perfectly. Anna came up with so many cute photo opportunities and they turned out so good!

We LOVE getting our photos taken by Anna at Rustic Rose Photography! She makes us feel comfortable and guides you through poses making it feel so easy! I am always in love with how our photos turn out from her! Her vibe and style are exactly what we love! Anna is a busy mom/wife/photographer but her turn around time is so quick! She is so sweet, fun and easy to work with. She is great with kids too! Getting our photos back is always so exciting because they are always everything we wanted and more!

Photos are edited in warm, earthy tones that reflect how the moment actually felt — relaxed, natural, and full of presence. Colors stay true to the environment, with soft highlights, rich shadows, and a gentle glow that comes from shooting during golden hour whenever possible.
The editing style is clean and consistent, with just enough depth to bring out the emotion without drawing attention to the edit itself. The goal is for the photos to feel familiar — like something you’ve lived, not just something you’re looking at.
