Adrea: Decade

If I can't post pictures of the family shoots I've done, I'll post pictures of my own family. This guy has been married to ME for a decade... that makes him a hero... if only because of my food habits ;)

When do Christmas Cards Go out?

I'm holding out all these family Christmas picture shoots... I'm thinking mid-November is fair enough to spoil?

Adrea: Product Photography

I had a great opportunity to work with a friend's bonus mom (stepmom - isn't that a nice way of putting it though?) this week.

She created this necklace where you can store favorite fortunes or any fortunes you might receive when dining around fortune cookies. It can be cute, funny, sweet, or just inspiring.

I rented a macro lens to make sure I got the most detail possible. Look for this necklace "Fortunes to Live By" soon.

Adrea: Two Weeks of Finn

Literally we took these on his two week birthday.

So we're still mostly going to be featuring artsy only or our own family only still as we are still trying to be sensitive about spoiling family pictures too early! Rest assured we're still working hard!

Who We Are

Sarah and Adrea share in-laws, an appreciation for chocolate chip cookies, and a love for photography.

Adrea grew up in Southern California driving her family and friends crazy by taking random pictures of them. She graduated Westmont College double-majoring in Art and English. She currently stays home where her job is to keep two beautiful kids and a super cool husband happy and generally well fed.
Adrea adamantly believes in the power of a picture and thinks everyone deserves a really artsy photographer to come into their home and document their family in a beautiful way. She does not, however, know how to get anywhere, so that is an obstacle.

Sarah grew up in Northern California, and clearly remembers her first photo (of a beaten barn) taken with her father's camera when she was 7. Her love of photography, and things beaten and run down, grew from there. She worked as a photographer throughout high school and college, and to this day cannot resist snapping up old chairs and armoires (and the occasional home) to refurbish.
Sarah has a degree in Social Work and is a busy collector of hobbies; anything that explores her three loves: people, music and art. Most days you can find her at home nurturing her curious son, hilarious husband and holding either a measuring spoon, a paint brush, a sewing needle, or a camera.

Sarah and Adrea set up this site as part portfolio, part experiment, part team-building exercise.

We hope you enjoy our journey.

**We are looking for willing models, but we would probably prefer to know them, or know someone who knows them as we are not officially in business... nor have we figured out some rather important logistics... like printing our photographs independently for example.

** We love that people are starting to actually ask for us - we have started to institute a sitting fee in order to justify our time away to our husbands.
