Beyond the highlight reel, these are the real moments, real people, and real reasons behind the images.
Savannah reached out about updating portraits before a big life change- moving from the DC area to California!! We talked about a musicians tendency to do ONLY that, and how we feel differently about the matter. We chatted making big changes and pivoting with your life goals and how that doesn’t Actually diminish your success although we (musicians) have trained our whole lives to feel that way. So basically, just your standard portrait session meets deep philosophical convergence- it is TOTALLY normal, y’all
Meet Drew Fremder: associate principal trumpet of the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” tenured member of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, newly endorsed Yamaha Performing Artist, and also my husband.
Going full-time is scary! Especially when it wasn’t the plan. I was deep in discussion with my husband about the ideas spinning in my head (if you know me, its constant!): branding sessions, headshot marathons, portrait mixers, studio rentals… and ultimately I decided that I needed to commit more time to shoots styled with my dream clients in mind. I thought of Annie right before Drew mentioned Annie, and before I could even reach out I had a text from Annie! Fate!
