• Welcome! My name is Andrea and I dig photography. I am a McKinney TX based photographer, who specializes in newborns, babies, children, families and high school seniors photography. I am a wife, a mother, a movie critic, a storyteller, a laundry folding machine, a boo boo kisser, a finder of lost shoes and a proficient host of other talents that only a five year old can appreciate. I live outside of Dallas, Texas with my husband who keeps me laughing, my daughter who keeps me humble, and baby boy that keeps my life CRAZY.

    My blog is where I post my favorites from my recent photo sessions, show off my personal work, ramble on about my life or anything that just strikes my fancy! I am a natural light photographer who enjoys being artistic, fresh, modern, intimate, real...YOU! I want to capture your real life, not your typical "Sunday best" photographer. My sessions are laid back, stress free and an opportunity to capture your child's personality for you to remember in years to come.

    Thank you for visiting, I hope you will come back often, enjoy the photos and stories of my clients' memorable time with me. Feel free to leave me some blog "love" aka comments. If nothing else, you can keep up on my adorable children, Ellie and Nolan. Really, they are worth the trip back here time and time again in and of itself.

Avery & Samuel | My sister and some guy she married

It has been a while since I have photographed my sister’s family.  My MUCH MUCH older and aging sister.  Thank goodness her kids take after her in beauty rather than their Daddy!
We did these photos by her house in about 30 minutes.  I just LOVE the laughing photo.  My niece was all set to strike a pose for me, she is beautiful and looks so much like her Momma!   It was a great session and I love capturing family!

The Tongs and their cheeseball kid!

I will NEVER forget my session with the Tong family.  All was well, we got some great shots and then everything fell apart!  Colsten became addicted to cheeseballs!  I have never photographed a kid with cheeseballs before???  BUT it sure was funny and definitely memorable.  we had to improvise at the park with some slide photos instead.  Mom and Dada were such good sports!

A few more photos from a beautiful family that I captured in downtown Mckinney!  These boys were just a pleasure to capture.  What a great looking crew!

The Patels and the Bells

I have been photographing these two families for a few years now which always makes me so happy!  I love seeing how my clients grow and change from year to wear.  Plus- I love catching up with their Moms too.  Thank you for entrusting me to capture these beautiful faces!

Ally & Nash | The Marshalls

Oh why did I let myself get so far behind on my blog?

My efforts to catch up lead me to the Marshalls.  Their daughter Ally has the most beautiful long hair, and was so quiet and sweet during our session.  Nash was so full of fun energy and went along like a champ!  I really loved so many of their photos that I could not break this post up among a few people.  What a beautiful family and I know it meant so much to this Mom to capture her kiddos and I was so honored to do it!

Mini Sessions

I was pretty pumped to meet this beautiful angel below.  I used to work with her Mommy, back in my corporate America days.  It was so great to see her Mom and to capture this beauty!  Look at that pale skin, blue eyes and gorgeous lips!

I know this Mom REALLY wanted that perfect family shot, but let’s just admit it, sometimes that just doesn’t happen.  I LOVE these kids!  Their silly faces and personalities help me capture what childhood is all about.    I know we didn’t quit get that perfect photo, but these are so much better!

I know these two through my neighbors.  They contacted me for some updated photos.  The whole session I heard whispers of, “I love you.”  So amazing!
