Today we’d like to introduce you to Andreea Glenney
Hi Andreea, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My story, where do I start? I would lie if I say photography was always my passion, I had no idea that I like taking pictures, that I have “an eye” for it. It wasn’t me discovering this passion, it was my kids who inspired me to explore it.
It started with everyday pictures and in no time I had external drives with folders full of images until one day my husband came home with a “real camera” a DSLR. I was so happy that I can take better pictures, little I knew the pictures weren’t any better, but the possibilities of becoming better sparked. I learnt that a software can transform the mediocre pictures into something better looking to my eyes, I learnt that different settings in camera can be controlled by me, I found out that light can make a picture better or worse and I discovered that a different angle can change the perspective for the viewer. I found out about Adobe Elements and printed all the information that I could find about all “the tools” that it was offering me. Soon after, I learnt that Photoshop can take my pictures to a whole different level and I wanted to give it a try. It wasn’t easy, it was intimidating and overwhelming, but I discovered that Youtube has endless videos about everything I wanted to do. With continuous support and encouragement from my husband and my family, I started to share my pictures on line and slowly gaining the confidence that I needed to take clients.
Looking back at the beginning of my journey and how much growth I gained, I know that I could’ve never done it without my husband and my children.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Smooth road is not always a safe road, but often just a boring one. And no, it wasn’t a smooth road. In 17 years of living in US, we moved 12 times, we lived in 5 states, NY, NJ, CO, FL and GA, I moved my business few times starting all over again, it’s not easy, but each time I felt so lucky to discover new places, new opportunities, new people and each time was so different than last time. I wouldn’t change a thing, each bump made me jump further!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
With over 10 years of experience in the art of photography, I specialize in creating stunning portraits of Newborns, Children, and Families. My approach is centered on capturing the genuine emotions and unique connections that make each family story special. My sessions are never rushed, I take the time to know my clients and their personalities, I try to learn about their expectations and I encourage communication before and during the photoshoot.
I love interacting with children and I develop a unique strong connection with them from the very beginning . My goal isn’t just to deliver beautiful images, but to create an hour in my clients life that will become a memory with me, an experience that will be worth returning to.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
