Anne primarily works out of the Northwest suburbs and the Chicago North Shore. From her website: “It’s about the clock that stops only when a moment is captured. It’s about the flood tide of remembrance, revealed in shadows and light. Transcendence. It’s about your unrepeatable beauty. Your spirit. It’s about seeing what’s in your heart. It’s about time. This is why I love what I do.”
