about andrea

I have always had a passion for creative opportunities. It was until I picked up a camera in seventh grade that my attention and love for photography really grew. Ever since then, I have had the drive to explore photography in a way that made me want it to become my career. Upon running my own business that captures senior photos, engagements, newborn photos, and recently, weddings, I have been able to explore and expand my photography portfolio and knowledge beyond my expectations.

Having two older sisters to which I lived in the shadows of both made me focus on a differential and unique hobby out of us three. I owe it to my two older sisters that were persistent enough to persuade me to take up photography, while taking photos that represented milestones in their lives; graduations, engagements, etc. It was then that my photography business started and began growing, and I am honored to have two of the most important people in my life a part of that.

I hope to connect, inspire, and make an impact.

publications

I was featured in the Johnstown, Pennsylvania Tribune Democrat for outlining a unique and special career during my senior year of high school. The article mainly focused on my love for photography and how I would maintain my goals of running a successful business at such a young age.

I am also a column writer for the site Society19 to which I write bi-monthly articles that pertain to everyday college student issues!
