Wall galleries are my passion. We know that everyone tells you to make sure you get digital files, but files don’t smile at you from your living room walls every morning. Files pile up in your drawer, your hard drive. Creating wall galleries that bring a smile to your face every time you walk by is what gets me up every morning. I can’t wait to help you get your wall of love started!

FAQ’s:
What is UnScripted? If you are already a fan of Anna’s work you know that she is not the kind of photographer that will seat you in a group, arrange your heads, your hands and then snap a photo of you all looking directly at the camera with pasted smiles. She is more likely to direct you to jump into a pile and tickle each other or tell fart jokes until your ten year old belly laughs (and stops that goofy fake smile he uses for school photo day). Anna also has a session style that is more documentary, capturing your family as you really are. Your home, your Golden Retriever (wink wink), you and your husband stealing a glance at each other over the kids’ heads (or was that a glare). These UnScripted shoots are less about putting everyone in place and shooting and more about capturing you all just being a family. After 24 years as a mother Anna can tell you that the photos you REALLY want are those real moments that wouldn’t be called portraits, but rather, real life, captured. Here are some examples:
A Day in the Life (this is a compilation of several UnScripted shoots of one family)
At the Lake -A perfect example of what we can capture in a 1.5 hour UnScripted session.
One Day with a Milwaukee family– This is a full day session, UnScripted, but the style of the shoot gives you the feel of an UnScripted session.
Getting REALLY real– You can make your “real life” shoot as real or as polished as you choose. You might want to coordinate your family just so, or maybe you want me to show up and capture your bed-heads in PJ’s while you eat Saturday morning pancakes. That is totally up to you!
Do I get the digital files? Digital files are available for $750 in addition to your package purchase.
Can I buy a package for someone? Yes! Just make sure you let them know the date restrictions so they don’t miss the awesome, insane savings!
Can we buy more than the included items? Absolutely! Of course you have the option to just keep what comes with this offer but you can certainly add more.w e have the full line of products available to you and we can go over those options when we meet for your photo reveal.
Can I just skip the photo reveal and review my photos online in my own time? We value your time and we value your experience. After 13 years providing full service to our customers we have learned that the best experience for you is to meet with us to make your selections and to let us help you with the best options for your photos your home and your budget. We promise this is the most pressure free appointment, Anna is just a guide in the process. The only thing we will insist upon, because we KNOW this is what you will be most happy with in the end, is that you make your selections that day. Don’t worry, though, we will give you at least 24 hours with your gallery before your meeting. It’s painless, we promise.
Where do we take the photos? These UnScripted sessions should take place somewhere that is special to your family. Your home, your backyard, the beach, a favorite playground or ice cream shop. Because the session is only 1.5 hours we recommend keeping the locations to one spot or up to two locations if they are very close together.
Okay, but what IS a wall gallery? Our wall galleries are created using real photographic prints on a masonite backer board, then laminated to protect the photos from dirty fingers and flying coffee (it works, I’ve ahem, tested it). They are then mounted on foam and attached to the wall via velcro and command strip adhesives that protect the walls from damage. They are awesome and unique. And they really are a show-stopper on your walls. Our Walls of Love have been bringing joy to families in California, Minnesota, Texas, Washington DC, Massachusetts, Oregon, Illinois, Washington state, Florida. . . okay, all over the U.S. for the last 13 years. A client or fan from San Francisco could walk into the home of a friend in Chicago and take one look at their Wall of Love and say “That’s an Anna Mayer wall, isn’t it?” The joy is real and we hear from clients ALL THE TIME about how much happiness their galleries bring.
How do we create a wall gallery? Don’t panic, Anna’s got this. She has been creating wall galleries for 13 years and she will walk you through the process of creating yours, from choosing the best photos to represent your family to deciding the layout (something layered and random or something more symmetrical and “clean”) and determining which size is the right scale for your available space.
But I don’t have a lot of wall space. Most of our clients don’t! One of the things we most love about these galleries is that they can be scaled to fit any space. From a small wall between doors in a hallway to an epic living room wall with vaulted ceilings. We promise, you have space for this and you will LOVE how it brings joy and life to your walls.
What should we wear?
Step one: don’t panic and don’t overthink it. Twenty years from now you will just see the beautiful faces of your now-grown children (and maybe you’d laugh and your most carefully chosen clothing, anyway). But for those who like a plan:
