I still practice whenever I can, even if it's not official. The reason? I want to get adept at finding the right light anytime, anywhere. I got it for Bess... not so much for Pearl, but that just means we went artsier for Pearl.

Sarah: tulips

I walked into a room at a friends house... and fell in love with the light falling on these tulips... magical lighting makes me swoon.

Adrea: Under and Beside the Pier

Sarah: beauty

There is a funny line from a reality tv show the Rachel Zoe Project... something about being breathless when she puts the perfect outfit together...

Very rarely do I feel this way about my own work... but these photos, the lighting... the subject... the whole package... really make me pause... and enjoy art...

If it hasn't been too obvious... I am drawn to little details... and have begun to detest to bigger picture... :) ... I want to work on both...

Adrea: Pier

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 three 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.
