Ever felt the urge to create just for yourself? This week, I’m chatting with Anjana Olson, an award-winning photographer, educator, and lighting guru, about her self-portrait journey and how it’s transformed her art AND her business.

Master photographer, Anj (Anjana) Olson is the portrait photographer of Anj Portrait Studio, serving Des Moines, Iowa and surrounding areas. After obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and a Nutritional Science degree from Iowa State University, she chose to follow the path of photography and specializes in tangible fine art for her clients. Her work is influenced by her experiences as a Mama to 3 amazing sons, Wes Anderson movies, and her voracious appetite for books.
