Hey guys! My name is Andrew and I am from the beautiful city of Austin. It is full of culture and is known for it’s eclectic music scene – hence being called THE live music capital of the world. With Austin emerging as one of the most influential hubs for arts of all kinds, it is a blessing and honor to call Austin my home. From 2015-2020 my family relocated to Chicago. Here, my love for urban landscape photography intensified. The Windy City is filled with hundreds of unique skyscrapers that range from the architectural styles of Art Deco to Late Modernism. I highly recommend visiting Chicago for all of you who haven’t been. After my 5 year adventure in Chicago my family moved back to Austin and it feels good to be home!
As a photographer I love capturing candid moments of all kinds, whether it be engagements, seniors portraits, weddings… whatever! I use the natural light around me to create a story that best fits the mood. I love shadows, slight blurs in motion, dim intimate lighting… things that might drive other photographers crazy. I prefer shooting in an organic environment – whether it be in an intimate restaurant, at the park, in your own home, or in the city. I believe this is how portrait photography should be done.
As of 2015, my wife Katarina has taken over the newborn side of the business. She is a Neonatal ICU Nurse and has a deep passion for photography. She surprises me with her different approaches, angles, and style towards photography and through this we make a solid husband & wife photography combo!
The LOWDOWN
MUSIC // Growing up I was trained in classical piano and then transitioned into acoustic & electric guitar. I have played in many famous music venues in Austin including Emo’s, Antone’s, and The Parish. Music has been a big influence in my life and you can see me jamming out to pretty much everything – from local artists like Danny Malone to classics like Frank Sinatra!
FOODS // Austin is known for some good eats! Favorite restaurants in no particular order: Chi’lantro, Franklin Barbecue, Hopdoddy’s, and Blue Dahlia Bistro. If you haven’t tried any of these restaurants I highly recommend you go! As for restaurants in Chicago – Girl and the Goat, Crisp, Oiistar, Tank Noodle, and Au Cheval.
FAMILY// My family consists of my wife Katarina and our son Oliver!
MOVIES // I love to laugh. Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors. He can make any movie scene hilarious by just standing there. Zoolander, Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers… I love them all.
HOBBIES // Music, rock climbing, guitar, home brewing
GEAR // What you can see me walking around with most of the time is my Canon 6d and my 135mm f/2L lens or my 24-105mm f/4L.
