Anna started the studio when she was only 21, and we think that’s kind of big deal! |
Hey y’all, I’m Kelsey! For the last seven years, though, I’ve been called “Mrs. Huson” by most of the people I’ve worked with. That’s right, I’m a teacher who took a leap of faith, and that leap of faith led me here! I taught English and was the yearbook adviser at Highland High School, but a few months into the 2021 school year, I decided I wanted a change, so I started earning my digital marketing certificate; a few months later, I saw that Anna was looking for a new graphic artist and social media manager. |
Hi! I’m Kris! I’m going to be your first point of contact with Unforgettable Photography by Anna. I am normally the person you get to speak to when calling the studio. I send you all the information you need. I book the sessions, guide you through your consultation and image reveal appointment and then I package up your order and frame the portraits. Whoa, good thing I like to stay busy! |
Hi, I’m Mya! I am Anna’s assistant. For my job, I do everything and anything that Anna needs me to do. I go on every photo session with her, I help with the setup and tear down all session sets, and I also make sure the studio is in tip-top shape for everyone that comes into the studio. I also help create backgrounds, and I go on grocery runs to get things for around the studio or for any projects Anna can think of. As Anna’s assistant, I also help with her kids–dropping them off and picking them up from practices or daycares. |

We love that she is always looking for new and creative ideas that make every session unique. She has the ability to make the client feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, which shines through in the finished product. She’s also been called the ‘Baby Whisperer’ amongst our newborn parents.
