We are happily located in Carlsbad, California, photographing mostly babies and families. We find the beach life a perfect fit, casual and fun, which we hope is also a good description of our approach to photography. Artisan Photography is a full service boutique studio. With 20 years of experience and numerous awards.
We pride ourselves in creating extraordinary works of art in a heartfelt and professional manner. Most people come to us when they are looking for a type of imagery that is timeless. Our process involves a planning session to talk about what to wear, how to choose the perfect location, easy directions on how to pose in a natural way during your photo session, and even help select your favorite images.

Services
When should I schedule my baby's photo session? The best time to schedule your session is before your baby is born. We will put a big smiley face on the calendar for your due date and then pick the session day, once baby arrives. We like to photograph babies when they are 5-12 days old, while they are still very sleepy and we can get all those sweet, curly poses easier.
Family and Kids hold a special place for us, we know how much these images will come to mean over time, they certainly have for us. Our little Mongrels (Mateo & Lucas) are growing up so fast, we joke that we'd love to be able to freeze them for just a little while, we just want it to last a bit longer.
Be ready to go at your session time. Let kids know we will be having a fun time together! We will shoot for approximately one hour. Don't worry I have lot's of tricks to keep kids happy, engaged and entertained during the session, you just have to join in the games. Be sure to measure all of the walls that might be a good spot for your portraits and send us your wall picture snaps over before your ordering session.
I've had the immense pleasure to have Andrea capture my kids at age 7 & 10 last summer during a 45 minutes photo session. I have to say, I was a skeptical at first to pay a photographer for pictures? Boy, was I wrong! The pictures didn't turn out just amazing but gorgeous. She truly capture their essence of joie de vivre!

If you are looking for a professional photographer to capture wonderful memories of your family you need look no further than Andrea. She recently took pictures of my goddaughter, who is 6, and we could not have had a better experience. Andrea made the photo session so much fun with music and her passion for what she does comes through in how she works with the entire family to ensure that we got fabulous pictures.

I LOVE Andrea! She is truly fantastic at what she does. The pictures of my son came out beyond perfect. She is wonderful and experienced with children. The way she quickly puts them back to sleep, I learned some holding/calm tips for her. You can see how much love she puts in her work. She really perfected her craft and enjoys what she does. I will continue to go back to Andrea for future babies and I would recommend her if you are looking for a photographer. Thank you so much Andrea xoxo

We just had our baby's newborn photos yesterday and she was AMAZING! Definitely a baby whisperer, she had my baby asleep in no time and knew exactly what to do to put him to sleep. The studio was nice and warm and comfortable for baby along with noise makers and a bouncy bed. The environment of the studio even put my mom to sleep haha. My son pooped and peed everywhere and she handled it like a pro, got him cleaned up and back to the cute pics! I'm sooooo excited to get the pics back I know they turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Andrea is absolutely amazing. She was so easy to contact and flexible with planning our newborn photos. Her studio is great! She has an awesome set up, complete with a changing table and tons of props! She even made sure the temperature in the room was raised so he wouldn't get cold while getting his pictures taken. Andrea was so patient with our son and really took her time to make sure every detail was perfect. We were blown away by her kindness and the quality of the photos. We love each picture and will cherish them for many years to come. Do yourself a favor and book with Andrea at Artisan

Andrea is an incredibly talented photographer with the patience of a saint! Her work with our newborn son was amazing! She put up with pooping and peeing and readjusting positions over and over again and the results left me speechless! Her studio is the perfect set up for newborn photos and she has all the props and wraps you could dream up. I highly recommend Andrea for your photography needs!
