I travel a long way for this.
For the families who’ve tried before, but didn’t feel truly seen.
For the ones who are used to being behind the camera.
For the ones who don’t know yet how beautiful their story really looks from the outside.

I can’t wait to see Nikki and her family again. She’s my very first session as soon as I get off the plane in New York.

Last time, she told me:
“My husband legit cried watching the slideshow.” I hope this time, I’m able to give them even more; especially as she steps back from her business, and as the kids grow older and these photos become even more meaningful.

Our last session was in 2023, six years after I first photographed her in 2017.
There’s something really special about being invited back into a family’s story.

I have one more sunset session available on August 4 in NY.
Reach out now to make it yours.

I have about two weeks before travel begins again.

I have about two weeks before travel begins again.

The morning light here has a memory of its own.
It falls just as it always has;
on curtains that haven’t changed,
on the hallway where we’ve all grown older,
on the walls that hold our summers.

There’s a kind of quiet you only find
in familiar rooms.
Strawberries fresh from the garden.
Sleepy conversations on old couches.
The reflection of motherhood,
seen through glass.

Not much happens in these photos.
And yet, everything does.

Just the kind of stillness
that reminds you of what matters.
That brings you home
no matter where you are.

This might be my last visit to the US for a while.

This might be my last visit to the US for a while. (Though I’ve said that before,
and life always has its own way.)

Things are shifting.
My work, my rhythm, my energy.

So if you’ve ever wanted to learn with me, shoot alongside me, or have your family captured by me; this is the time.

→ We’ll shoot side by side.
→ You’ll see the full flow of how I work.
→ And we’ll talk about the kind of photography—and business—that lasts.

Palm Beach Workshop ~ Aug 5–6
One seat left.

Los Angeles Workshop ~ Sept 2–3
A few spots still open.

And for sessions:
→ New York / Long Island ~ Aug 4 (sunset)
→ San Francisco / Bay Area ~ Aug 31 (sunset)

I don’t know when I’ll be back.
But I do know these days will be full of heart; and I’d love to have you there.

DM me or head to the link in bio to book.

“In the end, I want my heart to be covered in st

“In the end, I want my heart to be covered in stretch marks.” @andreagibson

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that line.
What a way to live.
To love so deeply, so openly,
that your heart bears the proof.

That’s the kind of life I want.
That’s the kind of work I hope I leave behind.
Not just pretty pictures;
but feeling.
Presence.
Proof that we were here,
loving, trying, expanding, breaking, healing.

If I’ve photographed your family,
shared space with you in a workshop,
or simply let you see a little of my own story;
know this:
you’ve left a mark.
And I hope I’ve left something meaningful too.

Rest in peace Andrea 🤍

The light.
The mess.
The laughter you don’t remember until you see it again.

I have just two sessions left in the US:

one in New York (August 4) and one in San Francisco (August 31).

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, maybe this is it.
