Andrea - Artisan Owner and Main Photographer

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.

Hi! I’m Andrea. I’m the mother of two (not so little) boys and wife to a fantastic husband. We are happily located in Carlsbad, California just north of San Diego. I absolutely love being close to the ocean and how laid back life is here.

I love making paper lists just to get the satisfaction of crossing items out once they are done, it’s not the same on my iPhone

I am a little OCD (ok maybe a little more than just a little).

Bike riding and rollerblading are two of my very favorite activities.

I like cooking specialty desserts, and yup, sometimes I do eat dessert before dinner!

When I am in the kitchen I listen to really loud music and if a song I like plays I will dance to it…

I am a little goofy.

I have always loved overcast days and if it rains I even do my happy dance.

My boys (husband included) are all very good at getting into trouble and even better at getting out of it by making me laugh.

While I speak two languages fluently and am proficient in a third, I always manage to mess up American slang. Every time!

I love having a full house and LOVE having friends over, if food is involved it’s even better.
