Hiatus

Sarah and I are working on our website - an actual website.

And we're also toying with the idea of new solo photography blogs within that website.

We are not sure that this one is done forever. But for now, we're trying things out.

Adrea: Ava Smiles

Sigh, there is no point in separating these if Facebook only updates once every few weeks. What an annoyance. And now theres this whole other share option. Hmmm.

Anyway - third and final post on Ava (even though there are about ten more that are my absolute favorites). I did Ava's family's Christmas shoot last year and was frustrated that I couldn't capture just how incredibly adorable Ava was at the time. So I have been pestering her mom to let me try again since and whoo, our schedules finally meshed. I'm satisfied finally... for now...

Adrea: Ava Magic

I don't remember getting Ava anywhere near anything blue. The asphalt just changed to match her eyes apparently.

Adrea: Hang in There

Oh come on, you all were thinking of the kitten hanging from the tree branch poster too - admit it. And she is easily as cute as a kitten...

Adrea: Maggie at the Blue Door

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.
