anne frost photo

My name is Anne Strand, but I found it easier to go with Frost since it’s my business name + less confusing. You can call it my artist name.

I am so thankful that I get to do what I love and to share in the greatest moments of peoples’ lives at the same time. Capturing a mother carrying her baby in her womb, to birth and newborn. Through big milestones and during big life events. I love meeting new people at any age at any stage of their lives, and to get to create art and beautiful stories with images they can look back at and remember forever.  

a little about me

I am a native Norwegian. Born above the Arctic circle, but grew up in a small town more south, called Gjøvik, 60°N. My passion for art is in my genes, and I was raised in a home where crayons, colored pencils, paint and paper would never run out. Thank you, mom!  – I developed an early interest in taking pictures of absolutely anything, and my red 1980s 35mm still camera would go with me anywhere I went. Upgrades to come later.  

Moved to Boise, Idaho in 2005 from Oslo, Norway.  While raising my family I picked up real estate for about three years, before I decided to pursue my dream to become a professional photographer. With 11 years of experience as a Graphic Designer, I pay attention to color, light, details and have years of editing experience.  I love using natural light during all four seasons that we are so lucky to have here in Idaho, but also bring my camera inside for some portrait and newborn sessions. 

my loves & favorites

Other than pending time with my finace, our five kids in our blended family, and with our toy Aussi and Irish Setter. Here are some other loves & favorites 

What my clients say.

From the moment we met, Anne made us feel very comfortable and made my son's senior photo shoot an enjoyable experience. We left with smiles on our faces, talking about how she was one of the best photographers we've ever dealt with. On top of the great experience, the pictures turned out fantastic. We couldn't be happier. 10/10 would recommend.

Anne was great to work with. My son who didn’t really want to do the whole senior photo thing had a good time and we got some great photos that showed his personality. Best of all he actually, truthfully loves the results!

Frost Photography was recommended to me by my best friend, who had previously had their family photos taken by them. Anne photographed my daughter’s 16th Birthday Party, and I am so thankful to have all of those amazing pictures to commemorate the day! Anne is so kind and welcoming and put everyone at ease. My daughter absolutely loved the photo shoot and we will definitely be booking Anne again in the future! I love the way that she captured Maddie’s personality, and I’m still in awe of all of the wonderful (so many!) pictures that we received! Thank you so much Anne, you captured her special day just perfectly! 💞

Frost Photography has been able to artistically capture a true representation of my beautiful children, family, and friends. Many of the photos Anne took brought me to tears. I've had the pleasure of working with Frost over the years, Anne's made every shoot fun, creative, and stress free. I'd recommend Anne to anyone looking for professional photos. After our last session she proved she can literally herd cats and make it look seemless, lol. I'm full of gratitude for this positive experience and the wonderful memories I can share and cherish forever.

Anne was AMAZING with my son. She made this day absolutely painless. What a beautiful spirit this woman has. She had my son smiling and relaxed during quarantine. Please don’t let your 2020 seniors be forgotten. Book with Anne and let our kids remember this special time in their lives! (No haircuts and all).

I absolutely love working with Anne! She is so much fun and very professional from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for better pictures of my senior. He loved the session and the fun moments created. We've found the best photographer ever. ♥️

“Who took these pictures?” This is the response we get every time we share her work with friends and family! SERIOUSLY, LOOK NO FURTHER! Frost Photography is truly the complete package! Anne captured stunning newborn pictures of my daughter Edith Sue and then one year later, photographed her ‘WON-der Woman’ smash cake session in our backyard! Anne adds beautiful props and creative elements to create photographs that become memories of our daughters that we will cherish for a lifetime!

We hired Anne to take my daughter’s senior pictures. Although fall colors were not the best this year, Anne somehow brought out the beauty & lighting in every single backdrop! She really knew how to capture my daughter’s personality in all of the photos. She also took pictures of her with her cello and all I can say is that they were absolutely breathtaking!! Anne’s prices were super reasonable too! I would recommend her 100% for any photo shoot

We have used Anne for both family pictures and senior portraits. Both occasions she has more than met my expectations. Prices are extremely fair for the quality of photography and the fun experience we had taking the pictures. I owned a photography business for 8 years and know great photography when I see it. Anne is very professional, prompt and talented. I would absolutely recommend Frost Photography!!

We had Anne take senior photos for both my son & daughter and also for our very first family photo last year. We even brought our 2 Danes with us for the family shoot and she was so patient with them! We loved how our photos turned out and highly recommend her if you are looking for a fun, creative and patient photographer to take photos of you or your loved ones!

Anne took my daughter Robyn's senior photos last Fall and we had so much fun. We picked a couple locations in downtown Boise and one in the park by the greenbelt bridge. Anne set up several different looks and we ended up with a priceless combination. I can't pick my favorite because they are all awesome. Thanks Anne Gro Strand
