A good photographer draws you out of your shell

and draws other people to the beauty of your final photographs.

I understand your fears and hesitations about being in front of the camera. I hear things like: Can you get my kids and husband to smile? Will you capture my uniqueness? How can I be myself when I hate being in the spotlight? Will my final photographs look cool? Will the gravity of our love shine through the images? From booking your shoot to the day of the session, I will guide you through the whole process so you are at ease and have loads of fun on shoot day.

Almost sure I fit your style? Read on.

When you hear the laughter or feel the love captured in your photos, that is what makes an amazing image you cherish!

i'm andrea

My clients tell me it’s obvious that I’m doing exactly what I’m meant to do. I must agree!  For years, I’ve heard things like, “Andrea, I had such a great time. This was so painless!” or “Omg! Thanks for fixing my hair, thanks for taking care of me!” 

I’ve been obsessed with artistic imagery since I was a teenager flipping through fashion magazines. Before I even knew the terms, I was drawn in by color, light, poses, composition, emotion, and connection. I went to college for fine art, and when I picked up a camera and realized I could create images just like the ones I loved, there was no other path for me.

After graduating with a BFA,  I worked for another location photographer before starting my own studio, and now I have nearly three decades of experience. As an entrepreneur and mom to two teenage daughters, I love breaking molds and being a positive role model of confidence and strength.
