let's create something beautiful

photos that
 look as good
as tahoe feels

Joyful, editorial photography for Couples, Families, Seniors, and Brands in Lake Tahoe and Truckee since 2001.

You're not the type to stand still for long. You invest in beautiful experiences, you live fully, and you want photos that actually look like it. Not posed. Not stiff. Just real moments with the people and pretty things that make your life yours. I've spent over 20 years photographing exactly that, from Tahoe's mountains to the Bay Area and well beyond.

Vogue meets real life 

joyful, editorial photography for every chapter of your story.

Serving Lake Tahoe, Truckee, the Bay Area, Canada and destination clients worldwide.

Bonjour!  I’m Annie, the heart and lens behind Annie X Photographie.
  
I create fun, fresh, and editorial images with a touch of fine art, capturing real,  joyful moments with a timeless and elevated feel.

I’m a French Canadian who traded Montreal’s city lights for Tahoe’s alpine glow. With a background in fashion and over two decades behind the lens, I bring a little Vogue and a lot of heart to every story I photograph.

In 2001, while working and traveling  the World Cup Mountain Bike circuit, I turned my passion into a career. Since then, I’ve had the joy of photographing hundreds of weddings, families, seniors, brands, and events across Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, the Bay Area, and  beyond.

I’m also a single mom, a mountain-lover, and an earth conscious creative who lives for golden hour.
I’d love to help tell your story next. Let's make something beautiful.
