Hello, I'm Annie

A mother who wants to remember

I'm Annie—wife, mama, Christ-follower, and a believer in beauty with purpose. I’m drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments and find joy in creating intentional spaces and heirloom images that reflect the heart of your story.


My journey began in North Carolina, where a photojournalism internship sparked a passion for capturing life as it unfolds. That passion led me to study photography at Appalachian State, blending artistry with a deep desire to serve others well.


After years of learning, second shooting, and growing behind the lens, I founded Annie Lievens Photography in 2019. Today, I have the honor of serving clients across the south—preserving their most tender seasons through photographs filled with light, grace, and legacy.

Meet The ones I love most

My business officially launched in 2019 as I officially became Mrs. Annie Lievens,

and I fully transitioned into portraits and families when I became a mom myself!

I love being a wife and a mother more than anything in this world and I love that I get to love and be loved by them.

They are truly a part of this team that helps me care for mothers and families in a similar stage of life.

I believe in the power of the quiet moments—the soft laughter, the stolen glances, the way a mother’s love is felt in every touch.

My work is centered on creating timeless, heirloom portraits that not only capture what your family looks like, but how it feels to be together.


As a photographer, my role is to observe, to listen, and to craft images that are as unique as the families I work with.

I take great care in preserving the essence of motherhood, love, and the connection between each member of your family,

and turn those memories into pieces of art that can be cherished for generations.


Your story deserves to be told with grace, elegance, and timeless beauty.

It’s a gift that will live on far beyond the moment, and it’s an honor to help you preserve it.

My approach

 

I believe the quiet moments tell the most beautiful stories.

My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and deeply focused on connection—capturing the soft snuggles, tender glances, and in-between moments that often go unnoticed but are felt the most.


I work with mothers who want to press pause on the blur of everyday life—to create something lasting, something their children can hold in their hands years from now and feel how deeply they were loved.


Each session is calm and unrushed, designed to honor this season you're in. Whether you’re expecting, holding your newborn close, or chasing little feet around the house, I’ll guide you with intention while letting your family's natural rhythm lead the way.


Because these aren’t just photographs—they’re heirlooms.

Proof of love, beautifully preserved.

"We’ve had incredible experiences working with ALP to capture our family photos. She has a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing candid moments that we will treasure forever.

Her professionalism, skilled communication, and friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, even with our hyperactive toddler! We couldn’t be happier with the results and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a talented photographer who can create lasting memories.”
