You DON’T have to have it all figured out.

That’s EXACTLY what I’m here for.

Hi! I’m Andrea.

It started in Seattle with a film camera and a brain that wouldn't stop spinning.

I picked up photography because developing film was the first thing that ever made my ADHD brain go quiet. Something about the whole process, the patience, the craft, the magic of watching an image appear, just clicked for me in a way nothing else had.

What started as hiking trails and road trip snapshots turned into shooting my friends' weddings, then strangers' weddings, then brands, then businesses and somewhere along the way I also became a licensed therapist.

yeah. both things. at the same time. on purpose.

It turns out understanding how people feel is pretty useful when your job is to make them feel comfortable enough to be themselves in front of a camera.

Not sure where to start? Let's just talk.

Photographer + Therapist. Yes, REALLY.

  • NO posing scripts.

  • NO "okay now act natural."

  • NO waiting six months for your gallery.

  • NO feeling like you have to perform a version of yourself.

Just a low-pressure, fully guided experience with someone who genuinely gives a damn (and happens to have a master's degree in making people feel okay).

A few things you should probably know about me:

A strip of four photographs on a film reel. The first photo shows two people and a black dog outdoors at sunset. The second photo depicts a woman standing on a porch in a black jacket and glasses. The third photo features a smiling couple in formal attire, embracing each other. The fourth photo shows a woman standing on a trail overlooking a beach and ocean, wearing a purple T-shirt and hat.
