Hey,

I'm Andre

Thanks for stopping by—seriously, it means a lot. Since you’re here, you’re probably wondering who I am beyond the lens. I'm a professional photographer based in Seattle, and while I love capturing beautiful images, photography has always been more than just a job—it’s how I make sense of the world.

From the moment I picked up my first digital camera at age eight, I was hooked. There was something captivating about the way a photo could freeze time. What I didn't fully grasp then, but have come to understand deeply over the years, is that memories are slippery things. We don't just remember the moment—we remember the last time we remembered it. Photographs anchor those memories. They become the scaffolding for how we recall the past, helping us relive the joy, the stillness, the laughter—exactly as it was.

That’s why I do what I do. Whether it’s a wedding, a family moment, or an adventure halfway across the world, I photograph with intention—to give people not just pretty images, but a way to remember their lives vividly.

A Bit About Me

I’m a happy-go-lucky, slightly over-caffeinated, extroverted human who lives for connection, laughter, and those unplanned moments that make life feel electric. I was born and raised in Seattle, where nature has always been my greatest playground and source of inspiration. The Pacific Northwest is where I developed my appreciation for landscapes, long hikes, golden light, and the sheer magic of a foggy morning.

When I’m not photographing people, I’m usually still creating—I love oil painting and can spend hours layering color and texture on canvas (Although it has been some time since I have done this). I also care deeply about the preservation of nature. The more I’ve traveled, the more I’ve realized how fragile and precious this planet is. I want future generations to experience the same jaw-dropping beauty that I have been so privileged to experience.

The Journey So Far

Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent two years working in finance. I was helping manage investments and sitting in meetings where numbers ruled everything. It paid well, but I constantly felt a void. The idea of making money out of money didn’t resonate with me—it lacked soul. Eventually, I stepped away from the spreadsheets and leaned into storytelling instead.

Photography gave me a way to capture meaning, emotion, and human connection. It gave me freedom—and fulfillment.

Wandering With Purpose

So far, photography has taken me across the globe—from the rolling hills of England and the canals of Amsterdam to the chaotic charm of Bangkok and the peaceful beaches of Bali. I've explored Vietnam, the Philippines, Germany, and Thailand, and the list is still growing. Each place offers a new story, a new face, and a new light.

And yes, I do include myself in vacation photos—because life is too short to always be behind the camera.

Whether I'm eating mango sticky rice under the sun or hiking around the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I’m always observing, documenting, and seeking out connection.

Let's Make Something Beautiful

If you’ve made it this far, thank you. I’d love the chance to photograph a chapter of your story—whether it’s an engagement, a family adventure, or just a snapshot of who you are at this moment in time.
