Heinrich was born in Darmstadt and moved to Larroque, Entre Ríos Province, with her family in 1926, her father having been injured during the First World War.[1] In 1930 she opened her first studio in Buenos Aires.[4] Two years later she moved to a larger studio and began photographing actors from the Teatro Colón.[2][4] Her photos were also the cover of magazines such as El Hogar, Sintonía, Alta Sociedad, Radiolandia and Antena for forty years.[1][4]

In the 1950s Heinrich was part of a modernist group calling themselves Carpeta de los diez (Group of Ten).[5]

Heinrich's work was shown in New York for the first time in 2016 at Nailya Alexander Gallery in the show "Annemarie Heinrich: Glamour and Modernity in Buenos Aires."[6]

In 2015 the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires held a retrospective of her work.[5]

Heinrich is considered one of Argentina's most important photographers.[1][4]
