MEET ANDREW

Photographer

​

What really makes a great photographer? How are some photographers able to take amazing photos, while other photographers take rather "blah" photos? I learned that it had to do with a combination of education and experience.  Sure, expensive cameras and gear is helpful, but they are just tools.  And yes, being creative and having a good eye is a big bonus.  But, they are useless without knowledge and experience..  After this realization, I plunged in head first, investing hours and hours learning as much as possible (in-person/online classes, books, blogs, etc) and gaining as much experience as possible. I never stop learning, often investing a few hours each week.  

​

Practice makes perfect!  I practiced using family and friends.  I refused to accept money until I had mastered the fundamentals and I felt comfortable that I could deliver a quality product.  As life happened, I got more opportunities to grow as a photographer. Eventually, these images made their way on to Facebook, and I slowly started getting requests for photoshoots.  I began accepting these requests and quickly realized that I enjoy being a photographer.  

​

I'm having a blast! Overtime, I was getting so many photoshoot requests that I decided to go legit and start an actual business.  The response has been amazing and so encouraging.  I've been working hard to build the type of photography business that I would want to book for my own family.  I'm proud that my business has grown organically (and by positive word of mouth).  I can't wait to see what the future holds!  I'm always under the belief that my best work is ahead!
