these young men were nice to work with and boy were they quick changers…or maybe its just because men are faster than women…hmmm.


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!

this past fall i began experiementing using artificial light outdoor just as another tool to use when the situation requires it. next year i hope to use this style of lighting in the early morning or late evenings when it too dark to use natural lighting.as you can see from some of these examples it just create a different look.

of course danielle was the perfect person to help me test this style of lighting and for that i say THANK YOU!
p.s. what will i ever do with those size 9 shoes danielle?



it was unbelieveable how many goose bumps brianna had on her arms!! i am not sure why because i was quite warm in my sweatshirt, skull cap, gloves and etc…
brianna…you’re such a wimp!…but what can you expect for a life long steeler fan! i blame it on bad parenting!
i mean what kind of parent would raise their child to be a card carrying member of the ‘puttz’ burger steelers? just makes you shake your head sometimes. they have really damaged this young lady as the “…’force’ is strong with this one”
GO BROWNS!! this is our year!

small blooper!


jasmine gives a great serious look! one could almost believe that she was mad at me!
hmm, maybe she was because it was about 28 degree when we shot this! and we got up early for this
but as you can see she has a great smile too.




well its that time of year and I need to update my cover page. I am currently thinking about using one of danielle’s images but I am not fully pursuaded…
i need to tweak these images some more so we will see…stay tuned!


because my wedding with shandrea is approaching I had no choice but to begin shootings some outdoor images for the senior reps this week and I thought 40 degree would be warm enough. boy was I wrong! my hands were stiff making it hard to change the settings not to mention the inability to think clearly!
if you think I had it bad…what about the senior reps who wore short sleeve shirts!
I give a lot of credit to jerrica for hanging in there even though the chill bumps on her arms were the size of mt.everest!!
this one is my personal favorite and it may end up on the front page of the main site!

jerrica again in the cold…

at first I wasn’t too excited about the yellow top but it grew on me…
