it’s our way of helping families & couples hold onto their most meaningful moments.
We’re partners in life, love, and photography based in sunny Southern California. Our love for photography began unexpectedly with a simple cake smash session — and before we knew it, we were hooked. What started as a coincidence quickly grew into a passion for capturing authentic, joy-filled moments that families can treasure for years to come.
Hi, we’re Andrew & Melissa!
Our Philosophy
We believe photography should feel natural, fun, and true to who you are. No stiff poses or forced smiles — just genuine connection, laughter, and the little details that tell your story. Whether we’re chasing golden hour light, wrangling giggly toddlers, or documenting quiet in-between moments, our goal is to create images that feel timeless and deeply personal.
Meet Us Outside the Camera
When we’re not photographing, you’ll usually find us outdoors enjoying the beauty of Southern California, hiking trails, or soaking up sunshine with our little one and our bunnies. We also love discovering new coffee shops and slowing down over a good cup together. Andrew is a military veteran with a passion for woodworking, and Melissa is a therapist at heart who loves creativity and connection — both behind the lens and in everyday life.
Let’s Tell Your Story
We’re so glad you found us! Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, welcoming a new season of life, or simply wanting to freeze time for a little while, we’d love to capture your story with heart.
