"Good Enough"

If you have a hammer, does that make you a master carpenter?
If you own a set of wrenches, are you an expert mechanic?
If you can read, are you a teacher?
If you can write, are you an author?
Does a thermometer and PDR make you a doctor?
Any professional needs training in addition to their talent to deliver the level of expertise you expect. That is why we routinely attend seminars and conventions, even though we have been photographing for 25 years. We understand that even though we know how to correctly pose and light a subject, it is important to continually educate ourselves on new equipment, techniques, and products.
We start to creat our professional product before we take the first picture. It doesn't end with the click of the shutter either. that is why we don't hand you a cd with your images at the end of your session. Our goal is to deliver finished professional artwork that you will be proud to share with your family and friends.
At Andrews "Good Enough" just isn't.

What are you DOING???

We have been answering that question a lot this summer. If you have been by the studio, you have probably noticed what amounts to basically a mess at the back of our corner building. What most people didn't know was that we have been tearing down the back section, starting with the inside. This summer it was time for the roof and walls to go!
We have been told that the back section was actually an old farm building brought in to town, probably 100 years ago. What we found out during the de-construction phase was that it was basically set beside the exsisting building and tied in with the flashing and siding. More importantly, it was not set on a real foundation. Of course, over the period of 100 years four wooden beams are going to rot, the soil will move and erode, creating an unstable contruction, to say the least.
The good news is - it is gone! We are now in the process of filling in the holes, re-siding the back, and figuring out how to finish up the open ground.

The Heartbreaker

This was quite a day at the studio. Ricky was a few weeks old and we wanted to get some pictures of him with his dad. Then we set out to get the family together. Oh yes, what a way to have fun - a newborn, a 2 year old and a 4 year old! This is the makings for what is commonly known as "photographers birth control". Actually everything was going quite well. Brian was setting up the family with Katie, the 2 year old standing behind mom & dad, who were sitting on the floor. For a reason only Kate knew, she decided to leave the group. She walked right over to me and without a word gave me the sweetest kiss! Now who could discipline her for that - and no one had better! She may as well as have taken my heart and put it in her pocket!

Well, I guess after that, we must have been feeling pretty brave, because we put the girls in the ivory lace dresses to photograph them with Ricky. As you can see, he wasn't really happy about it all at that point, but this is just the sweetest portrait!

By the way, Kate is still very, very special. Her eyes just twinkle when she smiles. She makes me wonder just what is going on in that little mind.
