Sarah has to be one of the most creative, artistic, and inventive brides I have ever met. I was so excited when we talked about her wedding & all the details she’d been working on. I felt so honored that she saw something in my personal work and trusted me to capture her wedding in […]

My cousin Angie may fool you with her pretty pastel dress, but this woman is clearly one of the bravest I have ever met. She works as a nurse and loves to “jump out of perfectly good airplanes” on her days off. She’s also been working hard to lose an impressive amount of weight this […]

    Thank you for such a wonderful day Andrea! I had so much fun spending time with you. You are an amazing photographer! Our pictures are beautiful! 🙂

I never aspired to be a wedding photographer. I think if I had, I would have been much better prepared as a business woman. I like to plan ahead. I like to have goals. In more than one sense, this is the irony of my life as a student turned Air Force wife and graphic […]

    hi! I’m 16 and have done an engagement session, family portrait session, and 3 of my friends senior pictures.. I am really enjoying what i’m doing and want to learn more! So looking around your website, i LOVE our style of photography! I Own a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and use a telephoto 70-300 lense and was wondering what you use? I want to know what i really should invest in. The only other piece of equipment i have is a tripod haha. The lighting in your pics is just SO beautful! I’m looking to buy a new lense 🙂 Thanks 🙂

    Thank you Sarah, and I’m glad you enjoy photography too! My cameras & lens collection has been growing over the years. Over time you learn what you enjoy using & what you don’t. It’s not so much that one is right and another is wrong (although if you are documenting events, you quickly learn some are more suited for certain places than others). I love using zoom lenses for children & event photography. I love using my primes for newborn portrait sessions and still life. I shoot with Nikon, but they are both amazing brands with a lot of good stuff in their lines ups. I preferred my 70-200 lens for a long time, but now I’m really appreciating my 24-70- it helps to tell the “complete” story a little better! Best of luck to you with everything!

    Hi Andrea,

    My name is Kate and I am an spiring wedding photographer. I’ve been taking a few classes, and have a base of information about photography in general, but I really want to get a first hand view of what it’s like to be a wedding photographer. I really love your work and your style. I was wondering if you would possibly have any internship opportunities avaliable this summmer or even next summer? Thank you so much for your time! have a wonderful day!

    Best,
    Kate

    Hi Kate, that is really cool… I’m excited for you and what you do in the future! At this time I’m not doing anything like that, but in the future I would definitely consider it. Find me on Facebook & keep in touch, so that I can let you know if I do 🙂

Did anyone see Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland? It was beautiful. I think I was too sleepy to enjoy it properly {being pregnant is hard work}, but I loved they way they artistically translated the story. I’ve been feeling a little like Alice. I was cleaning my closet this week and clothes that fit me […]

  • Andrea - March 14, 2010 - 10:31 am

    Thank you Stephanie, I can’t wait to meet her baby either! I will send you an e-mail with my pricing menu, thank you so much for asking! {I’ve seen Peyton on your Facebook, she’s ADORABLE! It would be great to see you again!}

Last month brought some amazing discoveries, as well as some difficult news. We found out {finally} that my son Kevin will be having a little brother! I have so many curiosities about this lovely little baby. Will he be a clone of Rocky the way Kevin is? Will he be shy or more outgoing? It’s […]

    First off, I love your new blog! Looks amazing. Second, I am sorry he won’t be here. As you know, I’m 5 months into our 2nd yearlong+ deployment in 2 years, so I know all too well what you’re going through right now. I too envy the strength of other women, but I have to remind myself that I am strong, too, no matter how many times a week (or day) I fall apart. It’s not an easy life we live, and one many people will never understand, but you’re strong in your own way and you’ll make it through! Looks like we’ll both have a great Christmas this year!……..Unless, of course, the Army decides to extend my husband =P

    Andrea,
    I love this post! You’ve got a rough road ahead of you, but I am so happy to see you note all of the things for which you are thankful. It’s good to not focus on just the negative in these types of situations. I too have met and read about some military wives with emotional capabilities I myself will never possess. I know it’s their (the hubbies’) job, and I know they’re fighting for our country, and I know that’s why we love them, but sometimes I would just want a pity party. I mean no married woman should have to be a single parent…for any amount of time! You’ll get through this…and come out stronger for having survived!!
    p.s. I LOVE the ultrasound pic — how cute are those little fingers?!

    Andrea, your new page looks amazing. I have said it before and will say it again, you are fantastic at what you do. Absolutley beautiful. 🙂

  • Andrea - March 19, 2010 - 10:54 am

    Thanks Mandy, so happy for you with your engagement!
    Amy & Kerry, just wanted to thank you so much for your encouraging words! We are really blessed that we’ve had an idea of what to expect and that we have a lot of support. The more time I have to plan, the easier it is on me. I’ll be wrapping up some Fall weddings then he’ll be here soon after. Christmas is definitely going to be a very good time this year!
