Sweet words

Lorin

Lorin married Chase at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Mobile, Alabama, & the celebration continued at The Fort Conde Inn

“Working with Anna was such a joy! She has a wonderfully bright and upbeat personality that made everyone feel comfortable. Her talent and experience gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Trusting her to capture our memories was one of the best decisions we made!”

Leslie

Leslie & Ronnel’s engagement session took place in the heart of downtown Mobile, Alabama

“Working with Anna was such a dream. I am one of those people that was actually nervous about taking engagement photos for fear of being in awkward positions or something. But not with Anna, she is such a professional and made us feel super comfortable, almost like a friend was taking our photos. She is such a sweet soul and a truly talented photographer, you’d be making a mistake if you didn’t hire her to take your photos. Our photos came out BEAUTIFUL! Better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you Anna!”

Sarabeth

Sarabeth married her husband, John, tied the knot at Canterbury United Methodist Church and the Reception was held at the Club in Birmingham, Alabama

“Anna did our engagement and wedding photos and we were so impressed! We LOVED them! She was so easy to work with and was so patient with answering my thousands of questions. Loved working with her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”

Amber

Amber Housley hosts the Inspired Retreat each year for creative business owners just outside of Nashville, Tennessee.

Anna does an incredible job at capturing exceptional details. She is able to coordinate large groups while maintaining a positive energy level and atmosphere. She is enthusiastic and passionate about what she does, and you can see it in her photos! Anna is amazing to work with!

Mary

Mary and her family live outside Oneonta, Alabama.  The images from their family session were used to adopt their fifth son, Jack

Anna was such a joy to work with during our recent lifestyle session for our adoption profile book. It was important to show the true essence of our home on a typical day and Anna did just that. She was so fun and immediately put us all at ease with her sweet and spirited demeanor. Our four sons adored her, she played and laughed and even crawled into their fort with them. We enjoyed our session so much that we were sad to see it end but were excited to see what Anna had captured.  Our gallery was everything that I had hoped for and more. She captured our personalities and our home perfectly. Anna is such a talented photographer and you can really see that in the quality of her images. We couldn’t recommend Anna Filly Photography enough.

Josie

Josi married JR at Hedge Farm right outside of Memphis, Tennessee 

Anna photographed our wedding, and we were so thankful she did! Not only were we so pleased with our images, but we’re so thankful to have a fun, stress-free and sentimental time with Anna on our wedding day! She was flexible and helped make the wedding day go smoothly! We were/are very thankful for this talented photographer and friend! 

Bekai

Bekai was a senior at Oneonta High School and now attends Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama

Anna was the first person to professionally photograph me and it was SUCH a great experience!! She builds your confidence so much as she photographs you and she thinks about all the little details!! She even catered to my insecurities which made a huge difference when looking at the final pictures:) 100% recommend for anything. She is such a light & a genuinely sweet person!

Taylor

Taylor married Samuel at the Fort Conde Inn

There aren’t enough words in the world to describe how thankful we are that we chose Anna Filly Photography for our wedding day. From the engagement all the way until the end of our wedding night, she went above & beyond for us. We have a forever friend in Anna & she will always be our go to girl for the special events in our lives! 

Tammy

Tammy and her husband John got married at the Battle House Hotel in Mobile, Alabama.  Tammy’s daughter, Lorin, also became an Anna Filly Bride and got married to Chase at the Fort Conde Inn.

“I had the pleasure of working with Anna Filly Photography on several occasions. The first, as a bride. Anna had a way of bringing out and capturing the most authentic version of me and my husband. Her energy and laughter is infectious which puts everyone in front of her camera at ease. When my daughter became engaged, I wanted her to have the same wonderful experience with a photographer.  Without a second thought, we chose Anna Filly photography. As mother of the bride, not only did Anna capture the most radiant images of my daughter, she was meticulous in keeping with the wedding event timeline. By doing so, she made the day easy, allowing me to take in every special moment of the day. “

Kristin

Kristin owns the Society for Creative Founders.  SCF is a company dedicated to investing in creative business owners.  They host a conference each Fall and retreats throughout the year.

Anna is professional, flexible, encouraging and entertaining, exactly what you need in a Conference setting and so much more. As much as we would love for everything to go according to plan, sometimes sessions go longer or shorter than expected or the weather decides not to cooperate with what we originally planned out for the daily schedule.  She goes with the flow but is confident in telling us what she needs in order to make everything work well, along with providing images that always far surpass our expectations. She has the patience of a saint. Rather than getting frustrated when pressures arise, she handles them with professionalism and goes above and beyond to put everyone around her at ease.  Her eye captures the moments that are both seen by everyone and those that happen quietly in the background, the ones that the majority of the time have the biggest impact on our attendees. She is polite, respectful, and works hard, and the joy she exudes is like a breath of fresh air to have around you during a Conference Experience as well. The images that she captures with her eye are always beautifully done, and her clean and classic editing style allows us to stay consistent with our branding, which is incredibly important for our Conference from a longevity perspective so that we can use the images she creates for years to come.

Hannah

Hannah & her family have been photographed by Anna Filly on multiple occasions & through many life events.

I  love working with Anna! Every time she sends me our sneak peaks my expectations are always surpassed! Not only are her photos beautiful, but she is so much fun to work with and she makes every session so easy & fun! 

Nick

Nick married his wife Nicole at the Ruins at Kellum Valley in Cleveland, Georgia

Anna is a pro, she has the perfect personality, she loves what she does, she brings things out of you that you couldn’t do on your own, and she clearly loves the Lord. 

Thad

Thad proposed to Korin on the beaches of Pass Christian, Mississippi and later got married in Pensacola, Florida

Anna was fantastic, Very friendly and helpful with advice when I asked for it. The entire experience was great. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. I also really enjoyed the various poses she had us do. These were things we would have not thought of in the moment and probably ever. I was so caught up emotionally. Everything came out wonderfully because of her. 

Kayla

Both of Kayla’s children were photographed by Anna Filly.  From Birth through their first year.

Anna makes you feel like you are the MOST BEAUTIFUL person/couple in the world. Her sweet words make you feel so comfortable during your shoot. She does such a great job of really seeing and understanding what you want in your photographs and it really comes out in the work she produces!

The end of summer always feels a little bittersweet — a reminder that seasons change, little ones grow, and these ordinary moments become the memories we treasure most.

So here’s to an evening in the flowers, a golden sunset, and this beautiful, fleeting season of life. 🤍⛰️Want a session like this one ? I’m offering these in just a few weeks !!
I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who r I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a bride who radiated so much JOY!  Alida + Noel wedding day was SUCH a fantastic celebration.

Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit Our last day of summer before the “ber” months hit & the littles have their first day of school. 

So much joy filled our days this Summer. The beach. The lake. The river. Friends upon friends. Two lost teeth. Our first caught fish. The sprinkler in the backyard. Ella Langley on repeat. Learning to play games as a family. Friday fun nights.  So many adventures & not nearly enough time. We adventured. We tried new things. The sun bleached their hair & they each grew so much. 🥹☀️ 🌊
There’s something about fall that feels like comin There’s something about fall that feels like coming home.

Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, the golden light, or the way life naturally slows down after a busy summer. Whatever it is, this season has always been my absolute favorite. I get giddy just thinking about crisp mornings & cinnamon flavored things, crunchy leaves & flannel anything.

I love that fall invites us to gather around the table a little longer, cheer a little louder at football games, wander through pumpkin patches, and soak up the little moments that somehow become the biggest memories.

As a photographer, I get to witness this season through the eyes of so many wonderful families—and it’s a reminder every year that these moments are worth holding onto.

Tell me... half of you are ready for Fall to be here and half of you aren’t. Which team are you on ?! And what’s your favorite thing about fall? 🍂👇
Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four y Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four years of little Lina. Wow 🥹 She’s everything we prayed she would be & so much more. Lina is joyful, full of confidence, a lover of books , introverted & she’s never met a dog she didn’t like. Loving her is like watching your heart gain legs & curiously explore this big wonderful world. Our golden haired girl is so much fun. She loves “girl dates”, painting her nails, cooking with momma, anywhere there is water & “relaxing with a snack”. 

Angelina Joy, watching you bloom & grow is an honor. You radiate hope simply by being exactly who you are. I’m so abundantly grateful that I get to be your momma. 🫶🏻🐾🍓🌼🍭🫖

Young, wild and THREE ! Faith Marvelee you are al Young, wild and THREE !

Faith Marvelee you are all things vibrant, adventurous & you live life to the fullest. You are a living exclamation mark 🥹♥️ You have the biggest heart and love tending to those younger than you (babies). You love the idea of being a momma & are always quick to keep your siblings in line. Yo don’t do anything halfway- you’re ALL IN! If there is music, you’re dancing. If someone needs help, you’re the first to offer assistance. You rarely sit still & if you’re moving, you’re running. You’re my only child who potty trained in one week just because they wanted to! You’re spicy & fun, carefree and tender. I love you, little one. Cheers to three !!

Instagram went rogue & edited a handful of images in a weird black and white. Ooops !

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
Well hello there ☀️   2026 has had the sweetest a Well hello there ☀️  

2026 has had the sweetest and slowest start.   The kids are praying for snow days, Dave is building garden beds (eeeekkk!!) and I’m caught up in a new book series.

Photography has already been SO fun.  Last week I spent a few days photographing the @restandplay30A retreat in sunshine-soaked 30A Florida.  It was SO fun connecting with the attendees and being refreshed by the precious reminder that rest and play are necessary.

While at the retreat, I felt the nudge to start blogging again.  
Who remembers when I used to blog each week?! 

At first I brushed it off.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I missed the connection and creative outlet blogging offered me.  Writing will always be special for me.  I have journals upon journals to prove it.  But writing in a way that allows for me to connect to others is something that I just can’t shake.

So, I’m posting this online, for the whole world to see.  You can expect at least 12 blog posts from me this year.  I’m hoping for more, but let’s not bite off more than we can chew 😉. Everything ranging from my most favorite photography works to everyday life as a momma of four, to gardening and everything in between.  I cannot wait to meet you over at www.annafilly.com/blog/ 👒♥️🌼
