Here’s what past clients are saying about their portrait experience.
Absolutely Amazing! I found Andrea Hautala through the internet. I wanted to have pictures taken of my newborn Granddaughter and her family that we could treasure forever. I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Andrea captured all the emotion and wonderment of the moment. When we went to view the pictures for the first time she had put them onto a DVD slide show with music. Not only does she take the most Amazing and Beautiful pictures but she chose the most beautiful perfect song to go with them. Hearing the song Sweet Sweet Baby playing and seeing my Son and Daughter-in-law holding beautiful Aliyah was so emotional. Tears immediately started rolling down my cheeks and to this day I still get emotional when I see it. All the pictures were more than I ever could have imagined. I have never had such a wonderful experience or been more satisfied with a photographer. Everyone that has seen the pictures have commented on how absolutely amazing the images are. Thank you So Much Andrea for this wonderful experience and photographs that will be treasured Forever… A. Bryant

Andrea Hautala is amazing! Although I had used some other photographers in the past, my infant and toddler children have now been photographed by Andrea on several occasions. After each photo session I have waited with much anticipation to return and view the images. Every time I have been amazed at what she has captured. My breath has at times been taken away and tears brought to my eyes at the sight of a particular image of my child. I have then stolen a glance at my husband and realized that the photo affected him in the same way. Andrea has also demonstrated incredible patience with my children. My toddler son is overflowing with energy and Andrea rolls with the flow of my children in a way that makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I know that I am incapable of adequately describing the qualities of her photography with words, but Andrea consistently captures images in a very special way like no other portrait photographs that I have ever seen. –C.

“I just can’t say enough about what a great experience this session with Andrea was!!! We would never have thought to set up this shot had it not been for Andrea’s amazing direction and suggestions. Definitely trust her; she is of the same caliber of photographers that we could never have hoped to afford! Thank you again for our picture treasures, Andrea!!” –Vaughn Family

“Andrea, you do the most amazing things with the pictures; you are an artist or how else would ordinary people like our family transform into such beautiful people! Thank you for the awesome pictures. ” –Anurag

“I was incredibly happy with my first session with Andrea. I was especially happy when my husband and I arrived to preview the photos of our maternity session. All of the pictures she took were perfect; it was very hard to choose which pictures to get in larger sizes. Our baby is due in July, and I’m so excited to share our baby with Andrea for his/her first photo shoot. Andrea is so awesome to work with and really has an eye for what will work. My husband and I would just love for her to follow us around for the rest of our baby’s life. Thank you! Thank you!” –A. Roe

“I wanted photos of my thirteen year old daughter and while I had seen Andrea’s wonderful images of small children, I wasn’t sure her style would translate to a young teenage girl. I wish everyone could see how Andrea captured Kristi’s unique personality–braces and all. Â In just the last few months, Kristi has matured alot, but Andrea caught the moment and the smile I love and I will treasure it forever.” –J. Cetak

“I received a Baby Plan program as a shower gift and it was by far the best gift I received! As a new mom I had no idea how quickly my daughter would change. Andrea has captured the heart and spirit of my baby time and again. Her photographs are unique while preserving the nuances of her growth at each developmental stage. My heart melts each time I look at my daughters’ pictures and I know I will treasure them always.” –D. Schramm

“Andrea has truly captured the personality of my lil’ one in her wonderful photos from my daughter’s birth to one year birthday. I have found it so difficult to choose my favorites to buy after each session as I love them all. There is no better way to capture a child’s first year as with her portraits.” –L. Mason

“Andrea is amazing! She came to my house to photograph Elli Lyn when she was just 7 days old and she spent 3 hours getting just the right shots. It took 3 hours because Elli had to nurse, nap, potty, etc. Andrea was sooo patient, considerate and understanding the entire time! She has an incredible “eye” for the perfect shot and she is patient about getting it. She has photographed Elli for the Baby Plan and I struggle choosing portraits everytime because they are all so adorable!! ” –J. Imlig

“We feel so fortunate to have Andrea capture the magic of our daughter’s first year of life. Andrea’s photographs illuminate Avery’s personality in a beautiful, artistic format. I have looked forward to every visit with Andrea and each time I see the pictures, I can’t believe my eyes. The shots are absolutely amazing. Sometimes I can’t believe the beautiful little baby girl in the photos is mine!” –R. Hall

“The session was relaxed and a lot of fun! I was impressed with how Andrea so easily came up with poses that weren’t posed and managed to quickly catch fleeting moments of our baby. Andrea’s pictures are more like art than photographs. Â Andrea captured not only our baby’s image on film but his personality too.” –S. Babel

“I joined Andrea’s baby plan almost a year ago. It has been such a pleasure working with her. She is professional, and dedicated to high quality work, yet the time is relaxing and calm. She has done a wonderful job capturing my daughter’s firsts, her first smile, her first sit, and her first stand. I can’t imagine having my daughter take her first steps without Andrea being there to photograph it. The baby plan is a great way to get some priceless and beautiful photos. I would highly recommend Andrea to any of my friends, but the truth is a her photographs sell themselves. I am thrilled to have these beautiful keepsake photos to remember my daughter’s babyhood, a time that passes so quickly. ” –N. Grant

“I was invited to a “picture party” without any previous exposure to Andrea’s work. I was absolutely thrilled with the professional, unbelievable quality and personality of the photographs. The finished photograph of my son and myself actually made me cry, it was so beautiful. I was so pleased with the product that I ordered several different poses, which became Christmas gifts for all my family members. I will definitely use Andrea in the future, and would recommend her work to anyone, most especially new parents.” –N. Butigan

“I feel as if Andrea has done more than taken pictures of my children. I feel she has captured the very essence of them. Â The portraits show them as I see them; flawless, unique, pure, and precious. Her talent to create such a meaningful work of art is immeasurable, as is my love of the portraits I’ve purchased.”–M. McLay

“Andrea is wonderful photographer. I like her personality and of couse her work. She is very gentle and understanding with children. My daughter is very shy, but Andrea made her very comfortable and smile for pictures. Her studio is very relaxed. She shot every perfect moment. When we saw her pictures on her website, we just fell in love with her pictures. Specially children’s smiles. Even though they are on the picture, I see they are very lively as if they come out from the picture. I am very satisfied with her work. I sent my daughter’s picture to my parent who live in Japan. They told me they never seen picture like that before. They are so happy and they told me they can not stop looking at the picture because they are so spiritual. They feel my daughter through the picture. I showed pictures to my friends. Everybody said those are wonderful. I am very thankful for Andrea that she took my daughter’s special picture of 3 years old celebration with Kimono (that is tradition in Japan). We celebrate 3 years and 7 years old for girls and 5 years old for boys. I will do the 7 years old picture with Andrea once again. Thank you very much and we love your work.” –A. Suzuki-Peebles

“Last year my family was lucky enough to find Andrea as a photographer. We participated in a session with her in which we took some holiday photographs, as well as some multigenerational poses. After the sitting, I felt like we had probably gotten some good pictures, but when I saw the proofs of what she had captured they took my breath away! There were so many excellent, beautiful images to choose from that the only difficulty was choosing which ones to order. When Andrea presented us with the final printings of our photographs, again I was amazed. The quality and clarity of our images were incredible. These are photographs that my family will treasure for generations and I am so glad we had them taken. During the entire time we worked with Andrea I was impressed with her professionalism. She was warm and friendly to work with during the photoshoot and extremely easy to reach and talk to afterwards. She delivered our photographs on time and they were exactly what we wanted. There were no problems whatsoever. I know that my family will be using Andrea’s services again in the near future and I confidentally recommend her services to others as well. You won’t regret this choice!” –L. Herman

“The expressions you capture on Justice’s face, the details you catch, and the moments that you are able to preserve in these portraits recreate the whole experience of watching him grow for me everytime I look at them. I love the portraits you take of him, you truly capture his essence. Â Everyone that sees them always comments on how beautiful your work is. You are totally devoted to doing a wonderful job and it shows!” –N. Stewart

“I just want to thank Andrea for all the pre-photo tips on how to dress, how to dress your kids, and what to do with your hair/makeup etc. It was so helpful and we ended up with the best photo I’ve ever had for myself and my family, especially with two little kids under the age of five. I am highly recommending you to other friends that I have with small children. The experience was so positive and we came away with a really awesome portrait to share with others for years to come.” –The Hauss Family

“Andrea made my maternity photograph experience one never to forget. My goal was to capture my 4 year old daughter’s love, emotions and fascination for her unborn baby brother. The session was calm with a comfortable environment and just the right amount of time for a 4 year olds attention span. The end results were incredible! The pictures were classy, artistic and beautiful. I couldn’t wait to share them with family and friends. I would highly recommend Andrea to any pregnant mom and can’t wait to have her photograph my newborn son!” –C. Jansen
