About

So many times clients come to the sitting and start off by saying that they aren't photogenic...with my skills and artistry I'm able to prove them wrong! Basically my clients are responding to my gentle and enthusiastic coaching. I get inside my subject, create a dialog with my clients and make them feel relaxed and it shows in the final product...there's no end to the possibilities. It's really a joint effort. I go the extra mile to produce the highest quality results. I am a Portrait Passionista. I take great care with my clients and it shows.

It's all about transformation. When a client comes to the studio they are looking for something: a great experience, a new look or a feeling that they're revealing some part of themselves that's been under wraps for a while. I love seeing how people change in front of the camera, gaining a new confidence.

Working with people is a great pleasure and seeing them excited about what we've produced together is always a thrill. I also love trying new techniques, lighting and set-ups.

    She made me feel so comfortable, and I truly dislike having my picture taken! Now I have lovely photos of my daughter and myself, and a smashing one for my website! Thanks, Andrea.

    Andrea has a fantastic intuitive sense of what kind of portrait would work best. She uses that intuition and experiments until the perfect shots are taken. I am using a number of her portraits for my real estate business. Thanks Andrea!!

    Andea has a very positive approach to portraiture of mature adults. Instead of trying to hide my flaws or make me look young, she bothered to find out what I like about myself now and made sure that shone through in the images. It had been many years since I had professional portraits done, and I am very pleased with the results.

    When I went to Andreas studio she was hosting our Women Entrepreneurs group and offering headshots to our group members. After days of agonizing about whether or not Id have her take my photo, I left for the event at her place having decided - nope, no photo. I havent worn makeup in three years. I didnt do my hair. I wore an old branded t-shirt just to look at unphotographable as possible.
    Once there, peer pressure took over... Come on! You gotta have your photo taken. I thought, ok, but no one will ever see it because I wont be passing that around with my dark eye circles, red cheeks, and double chin.
    Andrea draped a soft pink tulle around my neckline to cover my black t-shirt, had me stand with one foot way forward, and hands resting on that forward knee, and lean as forward as possible without falling over. Snap. Done.
    A few days later she presented our photos with no retouching. People kept asking me if that photo was taken in my 20s. Its so lovely. The lighting is soft, and my dark eye circles are non-existent, and I look great, not what I saw in the mirror when I left my house that day.
    I was always skeptical of photographers. The technology in cameras today with auto-features and photoshop, in my previous opinion, made it very easy for anyone to feel like a photographer and take stunning photographs if you just took enough of them and used cropping, filters, and tech tools. I no longer hold that skepticism or belief.
    What Andrea does with you as a subject is so subtle, but the outcome is absolutely everything. Ive seen the before/after of many of my group members since then and if you want a real artist and photographer experience - Andrea should be your pick.

    Frequently asked questions

    A client's experience with me involves getting to know each other at our initial, complimentary consultation. We discuss why they're coming to me, how they'd like to be photographed, what clothes and colors they enjoy wearing. If they decide the time is right then we set up a day and time for the session. The day of the shoot, they'll experience professional hair and makeup, styling and the shoot. It's a day of fun and experimentation where they can express themselves in the privacy and safety of the studio. And they can come away from the experience with gorgeous prints of their day. I specialize in Headshots and Fine Art Portraiture.

    I am self-taught. I've been a photographer for over 30 years.
