Hi, I’m Ana Marie — though most people know me as Morning Thyme. The name started as a little play on my initials, “A.M.,” and slowly turned into Morning Thyme, which just felt like me: warm, grounded, and a little inspired by the slow moments in life.

I’m originally from Arkansas, where I grew up loving open air, time outside, and being surrounded by friends and family. Those moments — the loud laughter, late sunsets, messy in-between memories, and people you never want to forget — are what made me fall in love with photography.

For me, photography is about holding onto memories forever. It’s about capturing the feeling of a season of life before it slips by. Whether it’s a big milestone or just a really beautiful ordinary moment, I want to help people document the cool, fun, real parts of their lives in a way that feels honest and lasting.
