I had such a great time with this beautiful family. They were the first of my fall sessions and I can’t wait to get into the crazy Fall/Holiday session fun. Check out how cute their two little girls are. They are so beautiful, and weren’t afraid to crack me up a bit too.

Well, it’s been crazy around here lately, and by lately I mean the past year. Mostly in my personal life (new baby (3rd) + new house = very little free time for me. I’ve been really focusing on enjoying time with my family, being healthy and fit, and just living life. It’s been really nice. BUT don’t worry, I haven’t given up on photography. I’m still here, photographing babies, kids and families. I’m still teaching photography classes too. So, for now, “please excuse the dust” on the blog, but don’t be afraid to contact me with booking inquiries and workshop/class inquiries. I have a lot in the works for this 2012-2013 year. I’m looking forward to meeting new clients and seeing the old ones too!
And here’s an old favorite. Don’t forget to start thinking about those Fall Family portraits. I’m taking bookings now.
It’s time for Holiday Minis! | Northern Virginia Family Photographer
Children , Family , Newborn, Posted on: Oct, 07
It might only be October, but it’s time to think about the holidays, family photos, holiday cards and gifts! Holiday minis are perfect for family photos including your little furry friends. They can include your entire family (including your pets) or just your children. It’s a great time to capture those images made especially holiday cards and those special gifts for grandma and grandpa. Don’t forget that a gift certificate for a session or even one of my workshops is also a great gift for a friend or spouse.
Details for Holiday Minis are below:
Change |Northern Virginia Baby Photographer|
Children , Family , Personal, Posted on: Jul, 24
Taylor is #3 for me and I still get amazed by how much they change each month in the first year. She is 4 months old (ALREADY) and the sweetest, happiest baby ever. I’ve dedicated myself to taking these monthly pictures…even if they aren’t perfect. I find if the most challenging to take pictures of my own children. Anyway, here she is…Miss T.
On another note…we have some wonderful new neighbors who have been hit with some hard times. Their 22 month old daughter has been diagnosed with Leukemia. She is currently undergoing Chemotherapy. Her family moved here 1.5 weeks ago from Texas. We met them on Friday, hung out and hit it off on Sunday, and Idalya was diagnosed on Tuesday. As a mom I wanted to give Leslie (Idalya’s mom) as much support as possible.
Please take a moment to visit the donation page that I set up. You can sign up to bring a meal (or have one sent) or just donate towards meals, activity baskets for Idalya, and anything else that will help the family. Please also keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Here is the link: Donations for Idalya
Thank You!!

Ten on Tuesday |Northern Virgnia Family Photographer|
Children , Family , Newborn , Personal , Workshops, Posted on: Apr, 05
Well it’s been a little while since I posted, but I have a good reason. Here’s 10 things on my mind today.
1. Of course the #1 thing on my mind today is my beautiful 2 week old, Taylor. She joined us on March 22nd (her due date was today). She is such a great baby and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Here she is.
2. And I can’t forget about my beautiful boys. Here’s a picture of all three of my loves!
3. You may have noticed a change in our look. I am so excited about our re-branding that went on in the past month. The new look is exactly what I had in mind and thanks to Corina Nielson Designs I have a pretty new brand. I can’t wait to get my new business cards and other materials.
4. While I am on Maternity leave, I did promise a few clients who were due around the same time as I was that we would get their newborn session in. One of them was little Charlie and he was just precious. I had the pleasure of capturing his big brother’s first year and now I get to do the same for Charlie. I can’t wait to see the whole family grow!
5. Being home and having another addition to the family…I have decided to take on some coupon cutting. A recent thread on one of my forums inspired me to take the plunge. I just started learning the ropes, but I plan to try and keep it going and see what we can save. There are some great blogs out there devoted to coupons and savings. Money Saving Mom is a great blog to start with. I signed up for email alerts and “liked” them on FB. Check it out.
6. Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook Here. I often post specials and events on this page first.
7. I have a lot in store for AndreaGayle Photography & Design this spring and summer. New products, collections and workshops coming. Sign up for the newsletter if you want to stay connected with what’s new. Sign up HERE.
8. Stay tuned for Mommy and Me mini sessions in honor of Mother’s Day.
9. Don’t forget about Camp Mamarazzi. I am offering 4 new dates for our Burke location. Want to host a Camp Mamarazzi? If you host a Camp at your home, you receive 50% off your class fee. Invite all of your girlfriends and make it a girls afternoon, night out or Saturday get together. Enlist here
10. And the WINNER is: P. Batu. Congrats and thank you to all who joined in our March Madness Bracket Fun! The winner received a complementary mini session with 5 digital files.

It’s Small Business Saturday! | Northern Virginia Photographer|
Children , Family , Newborn , Workshops, Posted on: Nov, 27
Black Friday is over, but you still have so many sales going on. Don’t forget about your small businesses out there! Today is officially small business Saturday. What does that mean? Well, it’s all set up by American Express:
American Express has announced its first Small Business Saturday this week on November 27 in an effort to simultaneously help small businesses and the U.S. economy — and its own public image — using Facebook as a central part of the campaign. The company is set to award registered American Express card holders a $25 credit for spending at least that amount at a local, independent business on Saturday. Thus far the Small Business Saturday Page has about 882,000 Likes.
The Facebook integration for this program is multi-faceted. First, the Small Business Saturday Facebook Pages is set up so that American Express will donate $1 for every new Like up to $1 million to Girls Inc., a non-profit working to help young women gain confidence.
So in honor of today I am holding a sale on my January 15th Camp Mamarazzi Workshop for learning how to use your Digital SLR camera! So all those Mom’s hoping to get that DSLR for the Holidays or even those thoughtful husbands looking for the perfect gift for their talented wives. This is the time to get it!
