High school Seniors Class of 2011, Andrews Photography

We just finished up on Amys images. Her sister and mom came alone for the fun and a helping hand too. The perfect outfits for High School Senior Portraits. We always recommend something Black long sleeved. See the Black and White images, sets the focus on the face and not the surroundings. Bring a prom dress and some thing with color and their you go. Into sports don't forget the jersey or athletic gear it makes a great shot. Thanks again Amy for choosing Andrews-Photography to document your High School Senior Portraits

Jack and Jill, Rites of Passage Ceremony, 2010, Andrews-Photography documents the ceremony of 20 young men on the path to success. We do not know all the men's stories or what they have done before but after the ceremony. We have no doubt that they will attain whatever they set out to do. Here is just two group images of the young men.

The 15x30 image was taken prior to the ceremony. The image is available only as a 15x30 or larger if you would like email me direct or call with questions before you order.

The second image is a 5x20, we can order larger images but the smallest would be the 5x20 print or gallery wrap.

A Gallerwrap is a print canvas stretched over a wooden frame, pretty cool you don't need a frame. Very cutting edge.

Jack and Jill Organization Event: Rites of Passage

Andrews Photography has been working now on this Event for the last three years. We have noticed a trend in the event. The amount of time invested in each Initiate. Time is now the most expensive commodity we have. Rites of passage has put i the time with each one of these young men. Jack and Jill is a essential catalyst for the future. Without this program I think many young men would be left behind.

Many quotes come to mind to back up the ideal of such programs. "It takes a village to raise a child". If so then let us pray for more such villages as the Jack and Jill Rites of Passage. These 20+ young men have and forever will feel the reassurance that someone took the time to care for them. They will think back when things get tough, that they have some one to call besides there family. Someone who took the time to set them on a path to live beyond what they could hope for. Ceremonies of becoming a adult of leaving behind the things of your childhood and taking the reins of adulthood are needed.

Every Society has "Rites of Passage", Spanish customs for a young girl are referred to as a "Quincetta". When she is considered old enough to take up the commandments and be an adult. The Jewish Community has a similar ceremony the Bar Mitzvah. I have been to many such ceremonies and have noticed a definite change in each individual partaking in the process and ceremony. The Rites of Passage is needed in every community to help these young men weather the storm of being a man.

Rites of passage has done a fantastic job of being flexible and changing with the times. They strive to be better each year and should be commended for their drive and conviction. I am sure they put in many more hours then needed. They proceed out of love to these young gentle men to help guild them down there path.

The grand ceremony the impending event, without this there would be no drive, no catalyst for these initiates to do better. Without the mentors there would be no one guide to spur them on. I hear that a few of these young men do not have fathers or male role models. What a gift to them then to have someone to look up to. If the program can elevate one individual save one person from going down a path he could have otherwise side stepped. Then it is a success for all.

I am Rod Andrew Wilson and I believe in The Rites Of Passage

Andrews Photography

A child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah is not only an important rite of passage, but also a celebration of faith to share with family and friends. After all the hard work, the planning, the studying, and the preparations, it will be a day filled with laughter, tears, and even the occasional oops!

All of these memories pass so quickly. That's why photography is so important to help make this a day you will always remember. Hire a professional to document your day and get results you'll be proud to show your friends and family.

Here is Isabelle in a secluded spot showing off her pearly whites. Then A great photo of her reading from the Torah in the temple at Bet Shalom Congregation. What a wonderful Temple so many cool little spots to make a artistic portrait.

At Andrews Photography our goal is simple: to create wonderful photographs that capture the uniqueness of your Bar or Bat Mitzvah day. And, we don't run the event. Instead, we follow the action, moving around unobtrusively, virtually unnoticed, searching for the meaningful moment — the emotional father-daughter dance, friends embracing, grandparents beaming, kids being kids. A little bit about Isabelles day, We were not able to photography any of the ceremony on this occasion. Doug her father, had a great plan in place though and we captured some fantastic photos of Isabelle around the temple before the ceremony. Lots of fantastic friends and family interaction too.

Thanks To Doug and Lynn for booking us to document their daughters special day. At Andrews Photography we love going beyond client expectations. 5 minutes in to the Artistic Portraits, Doug commented on our style, "he though we would just snap a few photos and be done". Our coverage is unique in that we take Details of the Torah,Prayer book, family photos, friends, Synagogue, artistic and fun photojournalist style coverage of the happenings throughout the day.

Our view is, "Your day is special shouldn't your photos represent that too".

Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah coverage starts at $750.00 for 4 hours. Saturday coverage can be a little more depending on what month you choose. Please call for complete day coverage or special requests. We also offer a fun time portrait corner, thing boas hats fun glasses props that kids think are fun.

Nyssa, thanks for posing for me. We only had a few minutes to snap off a few photos before she was off to work. Cool blue background just had to pull it out for her. We tried out the new yellow background too.
Love you Girl!

We had a chance to take Photos of Sasha a High School Senior from North High. Only one hiccup to the session, she forgot her favorite red Jacket. Dad to the rescue he must have been in a jet car or something he only took 15 minutes to get here. Dominoes eat your heart out. We shot some on the way back to the studio and finished up in studio. Rod tried something new at the end of the session and it turned out to be Sashas favorite. See the sepia hard edge light photo. Very bold and dynamic look.

How does your High School Senior see her or himself? Much of the session is determined in the attitude of the senior as the arrive. Sasha commented during the first 15 minutes of the session that this wasn't what she expected. She though it was going to be, hey just take a seat here do this smile, your done. Lots of smiles and comments on wow Rods a bit goofy followed. Glad she had fun that's what the experience is all about. Be prepared come happy and well do the rest.

A local Singer Aram or "AJ" was in need of some head shots for one of his auditions. This guy tried out for American Idol. He met the performers to Kooza at Elbario in Saint Paul.

Danami "musician", Headshots in Saint Paul, Andrews Photography Danami needed a few head shots done of himself. For his cd release party and of course his new LP out this fall. He also needed a silhouette shot with some art placed inside. Danami found images that meant something to him. A few famous persona's that had a impact on his life. Plus we added a few of him in there too. Fun headshots in under 2 hours. We did two clothing changes and 4 slight lighting changes to make this shoot work. Danami had a clear idea of what he wanted and he got it and more. This image is going to make one killer poster! Andrews Photography is always up for something new and engaging. This helps our grey matter expand.

Andrews Photography decided to start the shoot out with some hard directional light. Less is more kind of thing. Then we did a few fun poses with some emotion and topped it off with him adjusting his hair. We got a few great photographs of him doing his thing. Danami really knew how to move in front of the camera, thanks for bring the emotion.

We used a few tricks from my fashion routine, ringflash, low angle, wide lens, hard side light, and of course Rod Andrew behind the lens.
