About Me

St Albans Portrait Photographer — Annie Griggs
Hi, I’m Annie Griggs

I’m a professional portrait photographer based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, specialising in maternity, newborn, baby, children, family and professional headshot photography — and I absolutely love what I do.

My passion for photography started long before it became my career. I was lucky enough to turn that passion into a business when I founded Annie Griggs Photography in 2016, initially focusing on location and lifestyle photography around Hertfordshire. Over the years, the business grew through word of mouth, and I began gaining recognition from some of the most respected photography associations in the UK.

Award-winning Photography in Hertfordshire

I trained with leading industry experts, and I’m a proud member of The Guild of Photographers, the Master Photographers Association (MPA), and BANPAS. Because my clients deserve nothing less than the very best, I continually push myself to grow and improve.

In 2018 I took the exciting step of opening my first high street studio in Redbourn — a huge milestone in my journey. In April 2025, I moved to a stunning new studio at Abbey Avenue, St Albans. It’s a beautiful, cosy space close to Verulamium Park with easy parking and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect setting for capturing life’s most precious moments.

I work with families, newborns, mums-to-be, professionals, and yes — pets too! Whatever your session, my goal is always the same: to make you feel relaxed, have fun, and walk away with portraits you’ll be proud to display.

As a St Albans portrait photographer, I’d love to welcome you to the studio soon!

My work has been recognised at the highest level of the photography industry, with multiple awards from The Guild of Photographers and the Master Photographers Association.
