Our story

Thanks for stopping in, I’m so glad you here! I hope that by reading this section, it will help you get to know me better. I’m Annie the heart behind Emerald Grace Photography!

What can I say about myself ? Well, upon meeting me, you will notice that I am not your average photographer: I'm an easy going, caring, a former military wife to a handsome Marine, and mother of 4 amazing children. I live for the ocean which is where you can find me and my family most of the time! I love cafe con leche, Miami Hurricanes football and most of all hanging out with my family. My goal is to make you feel comfortable while capturing the moments that will last a lifetime!

I grew up in the film industry, as I watched my Aunt work as a location producer developing location photos in the dark room . As young as I can remember I was on sets from, Miami Vice, Fair Game, bad boys, and eventually I started working in the industry myself. My first movie being BAD BOYS 2. I am forever grateful for that experience but I quickly learned it wasn’t for me. After marrying and having children I decided to pick up my camera again and from my love of capturing my children and from my earlier career experience , I ended up here capturing and telling all your stories through photographs!

You might ask, "Why is taking photographs so important to me?" Growing up, my Grandmother would always be taking pictures of us, storing them for later...I never realized how important these reflections and memories would be to me until later. Now, when I visit, it's my favorite thing to do: going through all the albums she has. Coming from a big family has contributed to my love of capturing family’s.

I remember, she would put pictures on the fridge; I now do the same. I love that I have these memories and emotions to look back upon and share with my children. I'm not sure my Grandma knew just how important these moments would be one day, but I'm so thankful she developed them , which is why I am a big advocate of printing your prints! One day, you will reflect back on these moments and be brought back; your own story’s told by photographs!

It's my pleasure to be the person you choose to capture all those moments that make your life amazing!
