ABOUT ANDREA |SHE | HER
Discovering the world trough
my lens
My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Yes, photography is my passion and my job; I look forward to it every day. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend.
Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!
Seeker of light and shadow. I love to find beautiful light or make it, and always look for interesting backgrounds and locations.
I'm a Pisces, a dreamer, and a storyteller and I strive to create the images that will live in your wedding album, hoping to be found someday by a great-grandchild and be a part of that moment with you.
MY VALUES
I believe in the beauty of diversity and the power of inclusion
I’m committed to creating a space where everybody feels safe and celebrated in front of my lens. Your race, sexual orientation, background, and beliefs are worthy and welcome here.
MOTHER OF BOYS
With all my heart I believe people can change the world by raising their kids right.
FUN FACT ABOUT ME
I have a degree in Industrial Design with a specialty in furniture design but I spent more hours in the Dark Room developing film than designing furniture.

A Child just became a bride
Your choice to entrust me with documenting your story helps change the story of a girl on the other side of the world fighting for basic rights. A portion of your retainer goes directly to underfunded, yet effective local organizations that advance girl’s rights by providing education, job training, and vital life skills.
