Andrea is a dear friend of mine and one of the kindest & most hardworking people I know. I was so excited for my photoshoot with her, but looking forward even more to girl's night, which turned into a much-needed girl's weekend for both of us. A unique and beautiful personality that rarely says an unkind word about anyone, Andrea is a fantastic photographer, has a full-time job, and is a very attentive and loving wife and mommy. She's the queen of all badasses, and as much shit as she talks, I still don't think she fully sees her wonderful potential and the lives that she touches with every interaction, from the coffee shop ladies to going in business mode photographing a beautiful wedding. It's no wonder her business has grown astronomically fast in the past years.
I absolutely love seeing Andrea in her element; she has such a contagious smile, and if you watch closely when she looks at the camera, you can see a proud smile when she takes the perfect shot. She loves what she does, and she loves making people happy! She does whatever she can to get that perfect shot, too. It is clear that she thinks of every little detail so that the people who hire her will be satisfied with her work. She charges some of the most reasonable prices and quick turnaround time that everyone loves, but she can't advertise how much she cares about her subject and making sure the pictures are perfect for them. She makes sure that everyone gets their money's worth and then some! She definitely gets click-happy, and it's worth it.
I've seen plenty of her pictures as she shoots everything: graduation, family, and even some cute couple pictures. I have always loved her work, but we did my pictures for more OnlyFans content, and I cannot say enough that Andrea went above and beyond. I paid her to do my hair/makeup and take my pictures, and she did it like an absolute pro, even though she had a crazy week. It was a long, eventful day for both of us; we got up in the morning and were served some of the most delicious breakfasts in our Airbnb in Netarts, OR, before we got to work. My favorite place we shot was probably the dunes we went to; although more open than I was comfortable with at first, I lost my resolve quickly. Between Andrea's encouragement and being tired of ducking and pausing to take good pictures, I just said, "I'm over it." and let my ass free, not caring who got a peek. (My apologies to the old couple that got the best view!)
I knew I would have fun with Andrea; we always have a good time together, but when we went back to get a few sneak peeks of the pictures taken, I was in awe. I still think, "Is that me?!" Not only the naked person, but the person that has the confidence enough to let someone I'm not sleeping with see me fully naked and then to just have no fucks towards the end of the day. It was quite freeing to not hide myself, to not care what other people think about my flaws, and not worry about my own flaws myself. I just hung out with a friend and did whatever she told me to, trusting that she knew what the hell she was doing.
My goal for OnlyFans is to make enough money independently and stop being surprised at pictures that I look AMAZING in. One day, instead of saying, "Is that me?" I'll be saying, "Fuck yeah, that IS me!" (I discontinued my OF for a few reasons, but I did gain more confidence because of it.)
Andrea's quick turnaround time had me getting back all of my pictures in less than a week, and I have gone through them sooo many times because I fucking love them! I am so impressed with her and all of her talent, and I am so grateful to be able to call her my friend. I look forward to other future shoots with Andrea and know she will capture each moment perfectly, as always.
(Btw: The title was inspired by an ex screaming, "I've fucked models!" when fighting with me, then jealously freaking out over me talking to anyone, only to tell me, "You know you're beautiful, right?" Yeah, I fucking do... now look where we're at, I'm the model, and he's still the stalker that can't move on...)
Thank you for reading, and please don't forget to support Andrea!
