I’m a photographer, a website designer, a blogger, I love blueberries (there’s an embarrassing video out there of my best friend and I competing in our own backyard blueberry eating contest – I won), and I live in a van. I bought my first van in September of 2018 from a slightly suspicious listing on Craigslist, but thankfully it turned out to be the best decision of my lifetime and not a Lifetime movie about stranger danger. I spent the next few months building it into my little home/work space, and while I upgraded to a more mechanically-sound van along the way, I’ve been on the road for almost two years and I travel wherever my heart takes me. And by heart I mean my driving foot. 

I immigrated from Russia to New Jersey at four months old, and all 18 years that I lived in Jersey, I knew that I needed to be somewhere with mountains. In the fall of 2015, I moved to Washington to start school, and lasted two years of switching my major and hating everything I was doing before I dropped out and decided to get serious about photography.

I started photographing weddings, and quickly realized that while weddings are fun, elopements with couples who are a little untraditional are much more my jam. 

Hey, I'm Anna!

I love travel, and live for adventure
