Andrews-Photography, photos by Rod Andrew

Driving yesterday to a photo shoot and I saw these work cranes. The symmetry was mesmerizing I had to turn around and grab a photo. Light, repetition and bold color. The cranes looked like they were on break, talking over coffee, waiting for the next job. Maybe pondering why they have no work, one looks a bid sad. Everyone has there passion and loves. "Always strive to be better, never settle".

Babies first Birthday, She didnt like the cake

Hi folks, Rod here I got a chance to capture a few great images of one cool kid this weekend on location. Please watch the video, sorry about the bad crop but just had to set the camera on the floor for this take.


Watch out world Bridget tuned one and she does not like cake. Maybe after her party she will be more inclined to like cake. The day was great and Bridget was fantastic she was laughing and playing around. she loves her butterfly and balloons. when her mom blew bubbles she made a few faces. Its pretty cool watching kids find out about life right before your eyes. I wonder if she will remember The portrait sessions. I think back to when I was young and my mom brought us in for a portrait session. All I wanted to do was play with a ball and throw my sisters shoes across the room. I think I was 5 and my sister was 4, I still have that 8x10. My sister with one shoe on and me with a little grin. It was the last time we saw that photographer.

Andrews Photography covers Santas arrival at Woodbury Lakes



The official start to the Holidays, Andrews Photography captures Santas arrival! Andrews-Photography was out at Woodbury Lakes on Saturday the 22nd for Santas arrival. The fun started at 4:15pm and folks were already having a blast at the games and face painting. Families having fun petting the reindeer and taking carriage rides around the mall. The activities tent was jammed with people making cards and decorating gingerbread men. One kid was brave enough to start eating his gingerbread man by biting off the head first. It was hard to see the kids smiles under all those parkas but you could hear there laughter. The cold tried to dampen there spirits but with all there was to do it was hard not to keep warm. Free mini donuts were also provided as fast as the elves could make them. Between the good cheer, frosty the snowman, and hot chocolate how could you not have fun.

It was nearing 7:00 pm and the kids were starting to get a bit fidgety waiting for old saint nick. You could feel the energy in the air something big was going to happen. Then the sleigh was sighted on I-94 heading towards the mall. but per FAA regulations Santa had to land in the parking lot due east. Woodbury police and fire met him there to safe guard the sleigh and refresh the reindeer. Then it was off to the party riding in first class style aboard a Fire Engine. He was escorted up to light the tree and say a few words to the crowd. The fireworks popped and the crowd cheered. Santa told me later that it was the best welcome he had all month and Woodbury Lakes was the place to be and be seen. I asked him what he likes best about christmas and he replied "why its the season of giving and it feels so good to help out my fellow man". If you haven't taken your kids to see old saint nick check out the Woodbury website for times and dates.

Other news, Macys is running a benefit for every Santa letter dropped off, they are giving a $1.00 to there Charity of the year.

And if you need any photo coverage for your holiday party this year dont forget to drop Andrews Photography a line.
