II. About Me

..

My life as a photographer started when my grandmother gave me my first film camera when I was 12 years old. I was enthralled by the ability to capturing what my eyes saw. The thought of capturing a memory and sharing it with my family encouraged me to continue to learn and to be a better photographer.

Since then, everywhere I went there was a camera around my wrist and the framing of images was in my eyes. And those early images that I took with my Grandma’s camera, they are among my most precious for they represent more than the images, they represent the beginning of something special.

I have subsequently studied landscape and portrait photography in North and South America. Most recently my photography was appreciated when I submitted photos for a calendar in hopes that I would gain the prestige of garnering a month. To my surprise, they bought up the rights to all my submitted photos and used them exclusively for the whole calendar.

Most of my work is not for publication, but for appreciation. My true passion for photography comes from capturing the love of family and the inner light of individuals. My love of family inspires me to preserve their memories so that future generations can share in the life that has shown us so much happiness and love.

I am a wife, big sister, aunt, daughter and a friend. I love french cuisine, wine, flamenco, art and traveling!

My perfect day would be to find all these things together and share it with my husband and of course preserve the day with any of my Canon cameras. My studio is in the beautiful Catskill State Park and our home is in Long Island but work brings me all over the East Coast as well as my childhood home - Ecuador.

Thank you for considering me to be your photographer.

xoxo

The art of photography is part intuitive and part technical. A good photographer will help the models to relax so their inner love and beauty may shine through the lens. Then understand how to capture an excellent image and through post processing turn that image into art that will be universally cherished.

"Andrea was very kind and professional. She was patient and helpful in directing us. She worked around our son, who had his own plans for the shoot (running after pigeons) and took some beautiful pictures of him in action. It was a great experience. Thanks again, Andrea!"

"Stephen and I just wanted to thank you for your time taking pictures ofour family in New York. Seeing as how my own mother wants every photo we ever take of Emley and can't wait, she'll be able to be surprised this year with a photo she's never seen because of our session with you. We will be sure to share your photography website and details with anyone looking for quality, affordable, hassle-free family photos. They are something I will treasure forever.Thanks Again!!!

"We're huge fans of Andrea. She is very professional, organized, and efficient--and the sole reason we are able to get holiday cards out! Somehow, despite very fidgety boys who refuse to smile on cue, she is able to coax a family photo out of us in record time, which is also the only amount of time we can keep things contained! She knows how to keep things moving, and she was willing to use our ideas, so one photo shoot can meet many needs. And all is done with a laugh and a smile! Thanks Andrea!!"
