Hello, My Name Is
Greetings! I'm Andrea. 
I picked up my first camera as a toddler and began coloring the walls with inappropriate markers around the same time. In college, I studied design, took a formal course in photography, and learned to love the distinctive atmosphere of the dark room. In 2006, I had the opportunity to open my own creative services studio. I'm based in Western Ohio, working with art buyers and editors worldwide. Take your time here. Enjoy a few quiet moments in your busy day. If you like what you see, would like to begin a project, or just want to say hello, please reach out and contact me.
Background
After graduating Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and minor in Leadership from Marietta College, I completed my Master's in English. With years of experience working in sports event management at the highest level, I've coordinated functions for world-class sponsors and vendors including ABC Sports / ESPN, Accenture, American Express, Anheuser-Busch, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Kettering Medical Center Network, MasterCard International, Microsoft XBox, and Shell/True North Energy. I'm happy to bring that effort, experience, and sense of professionalism to each of my projects.

Behind the Scenes
I've lived in Ohio, California, and Florida. I'm slightly addicted to dark chocolate. My studio iPod mix includes everything from Willie Nelson and Norah Jones to Chet Baker and Pearl Jam. As much as I love living in the peace and quiet of the American Midwest, I travel as much as humanly possible and enjoy finding new favorite places.
Subjects
Although I'm proud to wear the badge of "generalist" and have shot virtually everything at some point along the way, I'm most often found on the sidelines of sporting events and concerts. Capturing athletes and musicians at the top of their game is always a thrill. On quieter days, I often take to the back roads where I discover new landscapes hiding just around the next corner. I value candid moments in natural, dramatic light and sincerely believe Nick Devlin's comment that "the only great camera is the one that's there with you when the light happens."
Brag List
I've completed projects for Caribbean Travel + Life magazine, Frank Lloyd Wright Pavilion, GoToTennis.com, Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission, minor league baseball, One Call Now, the PGA TOUR, West Virginia University Football, the Willowtree Inn, and Your Wedding Day magazine among others. I am proud to have collectors and clients all around the world.
Sustainable Practices
With a strong commitment to sustainable living, I incorporate green printing practices as often as possible. My office recycles religiously and reuses many resources including shipping boxes. My goal is not to compete with national chains, big box stores, or agencies with millions of penny-priced images. When you work with me, you're choosing a small, artisan studio in Western Ohio.
