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 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!

Hey Andre,
The barefoot boy pose is wonderful. I love your eye to detail and your appreciation of understated backgrounds (i.e. backgrounds that might not normally capture someone’s attention). There is a simplicity to your work that is sharp, yet understated. I love the way you appear to capture moods in kids’ photography. I think you’re onto something here…what an incredible skill you have.
Peace,
Michele
