What a session is like

LET'S Chat

We booked a newborn shooting with Andrea. The communication was throughout perfect and she send very clear handouts on how to prepare for the shooting. That helped actually a lot in choosing our outfits and prepare for the shooting which was an indoor shoot in our home. She was punctual and super nice in person as well. Andrea interacted excellent with our very shy toddler so that our toddler felt very fast comfortable and wanted to be in the pictures. Andrea had the shooting well prepared and guided us into the positions and made us all feel at ease and relaxed. The shooting was a very laid back and realistic shoot at home. 

-2024 newborn Session Review
Long Beach, CA

I had the most amazing experience with Andrea Dawkins Photography. My photographer captured everything I desired to have. She has a very calming spirit that makes you relax while she captures the best of you.

KIND WORDS

 Andrea has a way of bringing out in you what was already there it felt so natural I didn't feel like the smiles or anything that I was doing was awkward it just felt beautiful natural I felt so beautiful during every minute of the photo shoot and then when I received the pictures I literally cried because I couldn't have ever imagined how beautiful they would come out it is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life and I would encourage anyone else to do the same thing I did Embrace Where You Are celebrate yourself celebrate the moment that you're in.

KIND WORDS

 Words aren’t enough to express how pleased I am with our photos. To think I had thoughts of not doing a maternity shoot but I’m glad I did and I chose you. From the beginning to the end it was very welcoming, encouraging, and warm. Customer service was excellent. My family and I left the shoot discussing how pleased we were and nothing felt forced. Thank you once again
