Annie Barson is a Philadelphia-based portrait and events photographer serving the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey regions.

Annie is versatile in the field - from Mitzvahs, to bridal showers, elopements/weddings, family shoots and headshots, she does it all. Regardless of occasion, Annie’s attention to detail delivers beautiful, tailored galleries to each client. Her personalized approach truly captures timeless moments.
yawA:What are a few of your favorite businesses in the main line?
Annie: Tabouli in the Ardmore Farmers Market is consistently good - and authentic - Mediterranean cuisine. Coco Thai Bistro is also some of the best Thai food in Philly! I'd be remiss not to mention my family's deli, Hymies (check out the pickle bar!)
yawA: Do you have a favorite eco friendly brand?
Annie: I love Blueland's soap tablets that dissolve in water. They always have fun scents and I love how eco-friendly the brand is.
yawA: What is your favorite memory on the main line?
Annie: Going to Children's Book World in Haverford to get a new book. I've loved to read since I was a kid and the staff there always got everyone excited about the newest books - I even went to a few events to hear my favorite authors speak.
Another one of my favorite memories was believe it or not, during the pandemic when I briefly lived with my parents and sister again as I graduated college. I experienced the main line differently - there were new restaurants and businesses from when I had lived there. I went on long walks around Haverford and Ardmore. I noticed things I never had before when I lived there growing up and as a result, developed a newfound appreciation for my neighborhood.
