Andrea Hautala Photography Blog

The windows are in and aren’t they absolutely gorgeous?!?! They will bring in tons of light for natural light sessions. There’s still alot of work to do but we are hopeful that all will be done by June. Will you just LOOK at all that space dedicated all for shooting?!?! And the flooring arrived today–I chose a rustic wide plank oak.

These little guys were so much fun! They loved dressing up in dad’s military uniforms and playing around. This is another Operation Love Reunited Session. I am honored to get the chance to photograph these wonderful families!

In no particular order, here are a few more recent sessions I haven’t gotten up on the blog lately–a little mish mash of everything.

The calls flooded in as soon as I signed up with Operation Love Reunited to do departing military sessions for families. This is the first of many to come. This serviceman is headed back to Iraq. Just want to say a huge thanks for everything our guys are doing for our country!

I am *always* on the hunt for new and interesting locations. If you know of a great spot you think would be fun to go to, I’d love to hear about it….drop me a line or send me a pic of it. Here’s a local spot I found last week….

All work and no play….well you know how the saying goes. We finally took some time off for a much needed vacation and headed to Disneyland for Springbreak. Aside from the massive crowds, it was a wonderful time. The highlight of our trip for my daughter was getting her face painted like a kitty.

These children were an absolute JOY to photograph! Such good kids–I was so impressed with them, and aren’t they just beautiful?!?

An influx of newborns. I love photographing newborns so this is a good thing. Just a few from some recent sessions…

If you come to my home studio, you might find various “contraptions” set out to “catch” things. Some are right by the front door–creatively constructed by the mind of a 6 year old to cleverly trap an unsuspecting creature. On this particular day, Froggie was captured and loved just a little bit before he was set free to roam the wild again.
