Hi, Andrea (On-drey-uh) here!
…but you can call me Drea!! I am a professional wedding, lifestyle and boudoir photographer living in Arizona. My love for travel and adventure has influenced my style and passion for photography. I am here to capture special memories, like the moment a partner sees their soon-to-be-wed for the first time, to illustrating the empowerment one feels wearing nothing but lace and silk.
Here are a few fun facts about me:
I am a powerlifter
I am a HUGE pickle lover
I got engaged in Portugal
I speak kindergarten-level German
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist
My Origin Story
I picked up my first camera in High School and felt a strong desire to create. Learning to develop my own film, was the first step in learning more than just editing, but the whole process of photography. I knew at this moment this is what made my brain calm. From photographing moments on hikes and roadtrips to capturing the intimate love of friends getting married, a love for wanting to capture adventure and memories every day became origin story.
My Professional Style
My photographic style is filled with rich tones, adventure and a broad spectrum of emotion. As a photographer I am able to lean on my professional training in emotion to understand and listen to where a client is at and direct them to achieve a result they are safe and comfortable with. I ultimately want to express your special moments with my unique style.
I love working with all people, and ultimately love clients that are themselves and are ready to present their authentic selves to me. Couples who are vulnerable and open to creativity. I love working with modern couples. Oftentimes when people think of "modern" they may think clean lines, simple textures and limited color palettes. When I think of modern I think of culture, people, beliefs, differences and LOVE. As an artist, I thrive when couples match my energy. I like being silly and tend to be self-aware and deprecating. You'll find me in new yoga positions making sure we get the best angle.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality are of the utmost importance to me. Take a read if you’d like to learn how I hold myself and my team accountable!
If you’re looking for a photographer with commitment, passion, and a sprinkle of spunkiness, then work with me! I have created a community of returning clients and made lifelong friends along the way, and there’s nothing like living in the moment and making memories for years to come!
