Description
✨ Storytelling Photography
Capture Less. Document More.
Intentional interpretive photography made simple.
Does this sound familiar?
- You go on a trip, determined to capture every moment.
- You come home with hundreds (or thousands!) of photos.
- The sheer volume feels overwhelming — sorting, organizing, choosing.
- That beautiful photo book or scrapbook project you imagined…
It just doesn’t quite happen
Digital photography has given us unlimited options… but too much choice often leads to procrastination, frustration, and unfinished albums.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Imagine if…
- You came home with a curated, story-ready collection of photos (not a mountain of files).
- You remembered the meaningful moments—the little details, emotions, and experiences—not just the “proof shots.”
- Your photos practically arranged themselves into scrapbook pages or photo books.
- Creating your keepsakes was fun, fast, and stress-free.
That’s exactly the goal for this class.

This class was absolutely fantastic! Anna is an exceptional instructor who makes learning both fun and inspiring. I gained so much insight into how to take photos that truly tell a story. She helped me understand the difference between taking pictures ‘of’ something and taking pictures ‘about’ something—and that shift completely transformed the way I take pictures especially on vacation. Each module was filled with clear instruction, creative ideas, and practical tips that elevated my photography and storytelling skills. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to bring more depth, meaning, and organization to their photos and scrapbooks!

I have been a student of Anna for approximately four years. During this tme she has been more than inspirational for me. This class was superb for someone who has felt overwhelmed by the number of photos I’ve taken on a trip, as many as 1000, editing each one which has taken months, then deciding which to use for my scrapbooking pages. This class places it in better perspective. I’m certain a big help for the next one. I really like the way she has divided the replay video into smaller parts, making it easier to find particular parts once you want to review.

Thanks Ray for your feed back. When you know how and what to capture in your photos, memory-keeping and creating photobooks becomes so much easier.

All of your classes are always SO informative. This class was really good because it focused on the why we take the photos not how to use your camera when taking pictures. I loved the emphasis on taking pictures about something. This will help with my picture taking on our next trip to France. Thank you for being such a great instructor.
