i think its time for shandrea and i to turn up the excitement meter! poor kid is going to have so many pictures but i won’t start taking them until he/she is 2 months old…i think.
this blog was created to show a different side of images by andre. so you'll see pictures of my family as well as places i have been. you will also see pictures with no comments as sometime i'll just let an image speak for it's self.
there will be times when i come across a commercial image that i have taken and is out of the ordinary for me, i will post and discuss my thought process behing the image
so hopefully, this blog will help you gain a different perspective about images by andre.
I am a just a guy who picked up a camera (around 2005 i think) because I loved to take pictures of buildings as a hobby and as a break from my day job as a software engineer.
Over a period of time, I started taking pictures of high school seniors and weddings and eventually created images by andre.
I still love to create great software but my #1 passion is creating interesting images of people, places and things!

….i am getting closer to defining my style of children photography…do you know where i am going?

“getting out of jury duty is easy. the trick is to say you’re prejudiced against all races.”

i guess homer’s advice didn’t work as i was selected for jury duty and not only that i made the ‘final’ 12
i am excited about the whole process and seeing how it compares to television. the one thing that immediately caught my attention was that the lawyers were not as well polished as their hollywood actors one of them seem to struggle putting sentences together it wasn’t broken english but more like starting a thought…then changing the thought…then coming back to the original thought.
anyway, it seemed like the judge, prosecutor and defense attorney kept coming back to me about some statements i made. i wonder what i said…..;-)
i haven’t photographed a lot of children simply because i am not exactly sure what my style will be for children as i would want to avoid the dreaded sears/wal-mart look. so what do you do…pose children, capture them naturally or a mixture of both?
some photographers are really great with children…i am just now sure if i am one. i guess i could always practice on jordyn some more as i haven’t taken any pictures of her since our wedding!
