Just for Nichole!

These photographs are from forever ago, as my wonder friend Nichole reminds me. Every time I say yeah I know I need to put them up on my site. Then, like always I forget or get distracted like I often do. My hubby says I'm like the fish from Finding Nemo, Dora who has short term memory loss every five minutes. I see a shinny object and I'm gone, off to la-la land. But, they and other friends and family still love me.

I did these photos as a favor for the many times she has watched Seren for me while I'm on a job or appointment. Her kids are super beautiful. I tell her all the time you are a great baby maker, she giggles and says, "That's why were going to have two more..." I love her kids blue eyes and can't wait to take more photos of them in the future.

Much love to my friend Nichole and family,
Andrea :)

Sneak Peak of Baby "Z"

Congrats to Brittany and Kyle for their first son Draden. He is the so handsome and well behaved. Very easy baby to photograph! Thanks for letting me experiment with the cheese clothe and branch! I think it looks Great! I'll let you know when I'm done editing. Have a great night!

This is one Kyle took of me holding him. We were getting ready to do birthday suit ones and he got shy and covered himself up. LOL His little smirk says it all, "No, you're not taking photos of my stuff." It was to funny and cute!

Steelers vs. Eagles

Ha-ha. Here's to fuelling the fire between my best friend Dana and my Dad. STEELERS vs. EAGLES ha-ha lol so funny. Dad came to visit with a new Penguins/Steelers Champion t-shirt in hand for Seren. She wears it and Dana hates it. So, Dana finally after lot's of talking about doing it finally does. Goes home to visit and brings back not only a Phillies Phanatic t-shirt but, also an Eagles cheerleading outfit. lol SO funny! Now, so my dad and the whole Decanini family from Pittsburgh don't disown me and Seren. I must say we had to bribe her with chocolate and then, in the last photo you can see she's trying to take it off... lol.

Hope, this makes everyone laugh and have a great day. Love and miss everyone,

Andrea :) Go STEELERS! LOL

Hyatt Family Summer 2009

This was a fun, very hot day... Had a lot going on, different locations, individuals, groups you name we did it. First time shooting in downtown Virginia Beach, there is a lot of great places to shoot and can give a more urban feel to the photos. I Liked it a lot and thought the photos turned out wonderful! Hope you all enjoy them too.

Made a little slideshow...

Vaughn Turns One

I was there when she was born and can't believe it's already been a year. This was a fun day and I got a lot of great shot's! Vaughn and her mom were my guinea pig models that helped make up most of my portfolio at first! I know she's feels lucky and happy that I'm her friend and asked her to help me out, but I'm the LUCKY one! If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I'm at now. My biz is still growing as is my portfolio. There is always new ones to add, but I know some of theirs will always be there years from now. Thank you April, your the best! Hope you like all the new photos!

I loved this one because, she grabbed my sunglasses on her own and put them on!She looks so Innocent in this one and I just love black and whites.She's a wild child that loves to stick out her tongue! I swore the first 15 photos are like this. LOL

Put a sepia tone on this one and love the natural light from my back door. It's always a great place for photos.She picked up Seren's giraffe and it's priceless. Put an antique filter on this one. I like to change stuff up and play around with them. You never now what you'll get and sometime I like them more.

Loved this orange dress and used a warming filter on this one.Golden filter and some soft focus. Makes them all moody.I love this how this one is composed, it's very natural and she's playing with her tutu. I like this black and white because it's a little blasted and lot's of white space.What's not to love about this one?

Crain Family At the Beach

These were a while ago too, but still really good and fun times! Love those twins! Super cute and fun! I don't know how she does it. I helped watch my other friends two girls for three days and I was so tired after it... lol. I'm pretty sure I still want three kids, we'll see what happens.

Ander's Family Day at the Beach

This was a fun day and I can't believe it's almost been a year. I remember being there when her was born! Little George is so handsome and simply delightful. Thank you for letting me capture all your special moments. I look forward to his 1st Birthday!

Love my Sisters

I just want to say I love my sisters and I'm so proud of both of them. My little sister Paula more so lately. We joke and call her the struggling artist for life... But, I hope and know this will not be the case forever! She packed up and moved away for the awesome Vancouver Institute of Media Art's School in Vancouver, Canada for a year and now has moved to Austin, TX in looks for her first real job. I know once she gets her foot in the door they'll just fall in love with her and her work. So anyone interested in just to look or knows a guy that knows a guy please, pass along her demo real. www.pauladecanini.com

XOXO's

Greetings to All

I'm very confused about this blog thing... I debated for days on weather I should do one or not. Having so many things to check and update between email accounts, myspace, facebook and business website! How could I possible have time of one more? I guess writing this late at night says everything... lol. I figured more exposure for my business on the web and another way for my customers to track and get to know me the better. It's all about the backlinks, so I've heard. You could be the very best in what you do, but if your not out there in peoples faces no one knows you. I want to utilize everything I can to succeed in this world. I have drive, passion and know I can do it. Do anything for that matter, if I put my mind to it. I've found in my life everyone can ones they try. Even if they take one step back, "tomorrow is another day..." at least that's what Scarlett says in Gone with the Wind. and on that note I bid all a farewell. Look forward to bogging some more.
