I’m Ann — a documentary photographer with a heart full of stories and a deep love for nature, connection, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. I live in Dorset with my husband and our two little wildlings — Phoenix (10) and Forrest (6) and Toad our Great Dane puppy.
Photography has always been part of my journey. Born in Sweden, but spent my teenage years in the U.S., and shaped by many years in London, my path once pointed toward war photography — I even held a plane ticket to Iraq. But life had other plans. Instead, I found myself apprenticing with a healer in London, embarking on a personal odyssey of self-healing and inner discovery. That chapter redefined how I saw the world — and how I chose to document it.
Over the years, I’ve photographed life in many forms: I lived with the Bedouins in Jordan, cycled for peace through the West Bank, and was welcomed into the homes and hearts of families in South African townships. Those experiences taught me that the most powerful stories are often found in the smallest, most human moments.
For a long time, my work was deeply rooted in the early stages of motherhood—capturing the raw beauty of birth and the quiet, intimate rhythms of new life. That season shaped my understanding of vulnerability, connection, and the sacredness of everyday life. Over time, my lens has followed families beyond those first days, evolving into “day in the life” sessions—spontaneous, unscripted adventures that often unfold in forests, along winding paths, or by the sea.
Through my lens, I aim to preserve not just how life looks, but how it feels. My photography is an invitation: to notice more, to slow down, and to remember. Whether I’m working on a personal project, telling someone else’s story, or simply wandering with my camera in hand, I carry my past experiences with me—always seeking truth, beauty, and connection in the raw and quietly powerful.
If you're drawn to authentic, heartfelt storytelling and want to collaborate on a documentary project, or you're simply curious about what a day in the life looks like through my eyes, I'd love to connect. Let’s create something honest, beautiful, and real.
