Hey Friends,I'm Andréa



Photographing your journey through motherhood is a passion project for me-

because I'm a mom too!

Motherhood isn't always easy, and as you know our every day flies by so quickly; it's not always as simple as slowing down and breathing in those snippets of time.

That's where I hope to be a friend to you!

What's My Approach?

I know just how much this means to you-

We're going to pop away the phones, forget about the to do's, and just live in a moment from your every day. I truly believe that every session is meant to feel effortless which is why I focus on making it a snippet from your story. We'll get the goofy and loud but also the sweetest breaths of intimacy that can only come out when you’re truly comfortable. What I really want is for you to walk away after our time together feeling like you just had the best afternoon playing, loving, and snuggling; being with the people you love most. It's a moment of time in your beautiful life that we're going to freeze and it should feel just like you.

So whether we're slowing down time and following your babe's lead in their newborn session, letting your toddlers take charge on an adventure through the park, or popping by the beach and making it part of a date night for just the two of you- every moment still feels like yours.

Casually Prompted and Gently Posed.

Genuine Connection that is all your own.

My belief is that we aren't finished until there’s sand in our hair and we've broken a sweat capturing your best dance moves!

Because isn't it after all of that, that you  know you've had the most fun?

I’m more than just another photographer-

I’m here because I wholeheartedly want to be a new lifelong mama friend!
