We decided to gift family photos to our extended family for the Holidays and were so glad we were connected with Andrea! We booked a 1-hr session with her and she did an AMAZING job capturing our large family, which also includes a toddler and baby!

Andrea gave great direction and struck the perfect balance of staging us and also catching some playful, organic moments. She scouted the location the day before and got there early the day of to make sure we had great photos!

Can't thank her enough for this special family shoot and how great the pictures turned out!-AshleyView Photographer profile
Andrea did a phenomenal job taking our family pictures! She captured the essence of our family perfectly, bringing out genuine smiles and warmth in every shot. Her patience and professionalism (with three kids under 5) made the whole experience as enjoyable as it could be! We are absolutely thrilled with the results and will cherish these beautiful memories forever. Thank you, Andrea, for giving us such stunning photos to look back on!-ChelseaView Photographer profile
Andrea was the perfect person for us! Our family reunion shoot included grandparents down to a 2-year-old. Andrea worked with the whole family to capture the most amazing memories. She provided insight into the best locations, guided us on where to stand, and was so patient with everyone. Andrea also was quick to respond and communicated perfectly. I would highly recommend Andrea!!!!-AlainaView Photographer profile
Maddie was absolutely wonderful. We had 3 little kids who were tired and at the end of their day. And somehow she managed to get what little they had to give to turn it into amazing! She came prepared with fun games for the kids and was able to get the shots we wanted to get, while also getting great candids. Her attention to detail was so appreciated. The background and lighting were really beautiful. Very professional and lovely to work with. Thank you, Maddie!-KristyView Photographer profile
