If you are new here, welcome. I’m Andrea.
My work is split in two dimensions of time:
the past and the future.
Looking Back
Editorial Nostalgia & Portrait Sessions
Documentary portrait sessions and short films of the people, rituals, and moments that mean the most to you. Guided so you feel comfortable, but unscripted for authentic moments to unfold. This is how ordinary Tuesdays become unforgettable and part of your family’s legacy.
After working with me, you’ll have something that can’t be recreated or replaced.
Looking Ahead
Headshots & Business Branding Sessions
Strategic imagery for professionals and businesses ready to be seen. Your portraits should reflect your expertise and vision. So when people meet you, there is alignment between your online presence and the person in front of them. This builds trust and deepens connection.
After working with me, you are positioned to control how the world sees you & your business.
Maybe you’ve been here before & ready to connect. Here’s a shortcut:
Editorial Nostalgia Sessions
Cook Me a Meal & Tell Me a Story…
Editorial Nostalgia sessions are for people who understand that the most important photographs aren't taken at milestones. They're taken on ordinary days, in your kitchen, or wherever life is unfolding with the people who matter most.
Whatever it is, I am here to honor and preserve the memories…
The garden you’ve tended tenderly for thirty years.
Saturday morning
coffee rituals at home.
Your Grandmother’s soup recipe that everyone loves.
Your meticulously curated vinyl collection.

What to Expect: Editorial Nostalgia Sessions
You can start with a fragment of a concept or a whole scene in mind.
Begin with Conversation
1
I want to hear your story so we can plan with intention. Most Discovery Calls/meetings are 20–30 minutes and help us clarify expectations.
If you are local to Tipp City and Dayton, I prefer to meet in person to preview the spaces & allow us to brainstorm in real-time together.
We’ll also talk through how your images will be used. Some clients love to share, others prefer complete discretion. Your privacy is always respected, and nothing is shared without your permission.
Booking
2
After our call, I’ll send a customized quote based on the scope of your story and the details we discussed. These sessions are designed as a thoughtful investment, reflecting the time, planning, and care involved.
Sessions are secured with a 50% non-refundable retainer that outlines deliverables & usage. Payment options include secure bank transfer, credit card, and check.
Plan with Purpose
3
You’ll receive a Story Brief that outlines location, people, wardrobe, and meaningful details.
These sessions are designed to be intentional and unhurried, so you’ll have a customized planning tool to help you feel prepared and at ease.
Session Day
4
This is the fun part. I’ll gently guide the experience while leaving space for natural moments to unfold.
Most people arrive unsure that their space is “photogenic,” and leave surprised by how natural it felt. No one is awkward when they feel at peace.
Your Story is Delivered
5
Your gallery, written narrative, and any selected add-ons are delivered within four to five weeks.
Time Is Passing Faster Than We Can Hold Onto It
Let’s capture everything you want to remember about what life looks like right now.
Session Details & Pricing
-
A ritual, recipe, or moment documented with reverence.
For most stories, that’s somewhere between two and four hours together.
For larger families or more complex coverage, we'll talk through scope before you book so there are no surprises.
Short films, heirloom albums, and archival wall prints can be added to any session.
This is a founding rate, limited availability at this price.
-
A 60–90 second documentary of your session with ambient sound, real moments, no narration. The way the kitchen sounded that morning. The way you laughed. The record spinning on the turntable.
This is the thing you will watch on a Tuesday twenty years from now and be grateful exists.
Launching Summer of 2026.
-
Professionally printed on archival paper by a professional print lab I have trusted for over fifteen years. Bound to last generations. These are not photo books from a drugstore, they are archives designed to be displayed and passed down through generations.
Designed collaboratively after your session. Delivered within 4–6 weeks of image selection and approval.
-
A photograph that lives on your wall is a different object than one that lives on your phone. I work with a professional lab to produce museum-quality prints in sizes from 11×14 to 24×36, mounted on white styrene or finished as canvas.
After your gallery is delivered, I'll help you identify the image that deserves a wall. Most clients know immediately which one it is.
-
One family. One ongoing story. Return visits across seasons and milestones such as a new baby, a child leaving for college, a tradition quietly disappearing, a garden in every season.
This is the work I am most proud of. Includes optional film, print, and album selections each visit or as a collection. Inquire to discuss what this looks like for your family.

Let’s Work Together!
You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start by you telling me about a person, recipe, tradition, story, or place you would like to honor with photography + video.
