About Beth Anne
"You can Rise Up from anything. You can completely recreate yourself. Nothing is permanent. You're not stuck. You have choices. You can think new thoughts. You can learn something new. You can create new habits. All that matters is that you decide today and NEVER LOOK BACK!"

I feel when creating Art you are opening up a portal that has been birthed through the Artist. As a subject or viewer: "You look into the soul of art to find a message"
Art has the power to evoke strong emotions + connect the viewer on a deeper level
Its important to explore the emotions that surface
What shifted for you being the subject or viewer?
I love that Art has the power to delve into the depths of a human experience
I believe that every individual has a unique and captivating story to tell, and I want to bring those stories to life through my Fine Art Soul Photography
By working closely together, I hope to create an environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely seen. I want our collaboration to be more than a mere transaction; I want it to be a transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact on both of us
And when you view the final photographs, I want you to feel a deep resonance within your soul. I want my images to evoke emotions, stir memories, and inspire introspection. I hope that, through my work, you can connect with the stories of others and find a deeper understanding of yours
Before I pick up the camera I focus on connecting with my client. Getting to the core of their life journey and what speaks to them. I take what is shared and bring it to life through an image. Not one image is the same because we all have different experiences
I am all about the Light when photographing. I love to utilize natural as well as studio when I create. When focusing on natural light I call them "human reflectors." Just look around you there is a light source on each corner - why not use it!
Black + White imagery speaks to my soul but I do love the softness of Color Tones.
Currently I am based out of South Bend, IN but I offer my ART globally
What shifted my photography career the most was connecting with Giordano Dance Chicago + American Ballet Theatre. I am forever grateful to capture such beautiful souls!
My main goal is to leave a positive mark during my journey here on earth
I feel your vibe attracts your TRIBE!
My personal journey is currently redefining itself + I am forever grateful for this new challenge in discovering
I am not defined by my past. I have the power to shape my own identity + narrative, regardless of what took place
I am not Broken or Limited. I speak life into this statement.
I believe in transformative power - The process of transformation, both personally + collectively. Change is necessary for personal growth
Thank you for listening - Now LETS GO CREATE!

The Granny Series....
My grandmother lived a wonderful life till the lovely age of 96. Two years before she passed I wanted to spend the day with her learning how to make her amazing apple pie! Everyone in our family loved her baking + cooking but the apple pie was ranked the best. We actually had holiday gatherings where a pie would go missing towards the end of the evening- it was that good!
I knew around this time her mental and physical health was starting to take a toll. I wanted to bake one last pie with her while capturing each and every moment. She did not like having her photo taken so this was a little challenging at first but as she began putting all the ingredients together- she forgot I was even holding a camera. We reflected on many wonderful Christmas gatherings in the past, spoke about my parents and she definitely told me I was not slicing the apples correctly... which that was her and I loved that!
It was wonderful to watch each movement she would make with her tired hands + knowing she was putting all the love into each stir, adding her right amount of ingredient, and turning the old dial on her timer. I simply can remember the smell of cinnamon + freshly sliced apples. It was comforting + felt like home. Now I will have that moment forever with these images + I am so thankful for that!
My Tribe On the Other Side
My supportive tribe on the other side. They may no longer be physically accessible but they are my Light Angel Tribe guiding me along my spiritual pilgrimage
