I have been having some issues with my health for some time now and as a result I have decided to close Ann Westerman Photography for now. I am so grateful to all my clients and I enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many families. Thank you all so much for supporting my business!
Just a quick post to let everyone know that I have scheduled all the sessions I can manage before my scheduled summer break, so if you are interested in scheduling a session please check back with me in September! I hope you all enjoy your summers with your families! I know I will! Summer is the perfect time to reconnect and relax and I’ve been looking forward to it for months!! :)

I am very excited to announce that I am now booking portrait sessions again. I pour so much time, attention and care into the process of each of my sessions and so in order to maintain the kind of quality time with my family that I desire, please note that I will only schedule a limited amount of sessions each month which may cause a bit of a wait to schedule your session, but I promise it will be worth the wait!
Also, I am very excited to announce that I am now booking weddings as well! In 2010 I photographed my first four weddings and I really enjoyed my experiences with all the wonderful brides and grooms as well as their families and I was very happy with how all of the final collections turned out, so I look forward to expanding this part of my business. I now have a wedding section in my portfolio as you’ll see under “My favorite images of…Weddings” up at the top of my site and you can find more information about my wedding photography up at the top under “The scoop on…My Wedding Photography.”
As you can see I have combined my portfolio site and blog into one blogsite which is something I have wanted to do for sometime so I could have all my images and info in one place. I’ve added new information to my site, changed my product offerings and updated my portfolio with many new images, so please take some time and look around!
Also, I plan to use my Facebook business page much more for updates, announcements and also info on interesting photography products, tips, sites, etc. that I come across that I think my clients may find interesting, so if you have not yet become a Facebook fan, hurry over here.
I very much enjoyed my time away so I could focus on my family and myself and then I worked out a new structure for my business which better blends with my personal life and I am very excited to get back to work.
While I was off I took lots of photographs of my boys and below are some of my favorite images I took during this time.
This last image I just took recently and this was a genuine moment. I was just messing around photographing some flowers on the back porch and I saw them sitting together being all sweet and ran over with my camera and caught this moment. They are so close and even though they can definitely fight with the best of them, they really are very close and I just love this moment…..

I have neglected my blog for quite some time and it is with a heavy heart that I write this post today. When I first began photographing other families at the end of 2008 I never imagined how busy things would get as I launched my business in 2009 and then how it would continue to grow rapidly during 2010. I am so flattered there was such a demand for what I do. I love photography and I feel so blessed to have found an activity and career that brings me so much joy. As my business grew rapidly, it began to take me away from family and my personal life so much more than I originally intended. My boys and my husband are my #1 priority and I want to make sure that it stays that way, so I need to restructure my business in a way that supports that. So I have decided to take a sabbatical from my photography business until sometime during 2011 while I plan some changes that will allow me to balance my work and personal in a way that I am satisfied with.
I’ll leave you with one of my favorite images I took of my boys this past summer on our vacation……

This is a great age to photograph! Babies are so happy around this stage and the can usually sit up unassisted so I can capture a great variety of images. At this age, I always like to hold these sessions inside the client’s homes and all these images were taken in this little girl’s living room where she was happy as could be. Take a look at this beautiful girl who made this session an absolute breeze……
