I'm Anna, a family, newborn, and intimate wedding photographer based in Marin County, and I still can't believe I get to call this my job.

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my dad rarely went anywhere without a camera around his neck, documenting every milestone, vacation, and wonderfully awkward stage of childhood. Looking back, those photographs are some of my family's greatest treasures, and they're a big part of why I believe so deeply in preserving memories.

I picked up my first film camera in high school and quickly fell in love with the art of telling stories through photographs. While studying at UCLA, I interned as a photographer for the student newspaper, and after graduation, I combined my passion for storytelling and education by working for the nonprofit Junior Achievement, where I photographed events while also serving as a grant writer.

In 2013, I officially launched Anna Marks Photography, and over the past 14 years I've had the privilege of documenting hundreds of weddings, families, newborns, businesses, and life's biggest milestones. While my career began in the wedding industry, my own life naturally shifted my focus. Becoming a wife—and later a mom—gave me an even deeper appreciation for the everyday moments that become our most cherished memories. Today, I specialize in family and newborn photography, while continuing to photograph a small number of intimate weddings each year.

My husband, Jack, is my high school sweetheart, and together we're raising our three wonderful kids—Zoe, Woods, and Teddy. After living throughout the Bay Area and spending a short chapter in Europe, we're grateful to call Marin County home again. You'll usually find us exploring local trails, visiting the beach, chasing little feet around the playground, or soaking up the beauty of this incredible place we get to share with our children.

These days, I photograph families with the perspective of both a photographer and a mom. I know just how quickly childhood changes, and I don't take for granted the opportunity to preserve this season for the families who invite me into their lives. My hope is that the images we create together won't just remind you what these years looked like, but exactly how they felt.
