Hello! I’m Andrea and I am the proud proprietor of Whimsy Lane Studio LLC located in Columbus, Ohio. I have been a professional photographer for more than a decade now and reside in Sunbury, Ohio. Whether you are an expecting mother with that special glow, an overjoyed parent of a newborn child, to a growing family, I pride myself on encapsulating those precious moments in your life.

I have had the honor to speak at national photography conferences, facilitate educational workshops, and mentor aspiring photographers from across the US. Although I find great pride in working with other professionals in the photography industry, my true passion is to work with and for clients…like you!

Life is a journey with special whimsical moments along the way. Come…with me…as we venture down Whimsy Lane…

Sessions Offered

MATERNITY

Are you pregnant and ready to feel like a Goddess??? Let’s talk Maternity sessions at Whimsy Lane! I have a closet full of beautiful gowns, fabrics, bodysuits and so much more to show off your baby bump and make you feel like the Goddess that you are. Pregnancy is hard and uncomfortable, your body has changed and you may not feel like yourself but you are doing the most amazing thing by bringing this new life into the world and your body is beautiful and should be celebrated. Maternity sessions can be done showing very little skin or by baring it all, they can be done by yourself or with your partner and kids, they can be done in the studio or at a park, the options are endless. Each session starts with a phone call or studio tour so that together we can plan what you are comfortable with and how we can make this session bring out the Goddess within.

NEWBORN

When you book a Newborn Session with Whimsy Lane I will style your session completely with your desired colors and style. I have a wide variety of high quality props and accessories from all over the world that are made specifically for newborn portraits and I am always adding to this collection to make your images unique and timeless. All of the items you see in my posted images belong to me and are available to you! These sessions are so special and I want each image to be perfect, a piece of art that you will cherish for generations. I love props and flowers and little teddy bears but your baby is always the focus and the star of the show! I love newborn photography and believe that you won’t find a more skilled newborn photographer in the area, I am the baby whisperer of Ohio! You can expect a newborn session with me to be anywhere from 1-2 hours typically. My Polaris area studio is customized for newborn photography and has all the items needed for a comfortable and relaxing experience for you. Your only job on the day of the session is to have fun, enjoy some downtime and smile (maybe even cry a little) as you watch your little one be the star of the show. And though I always have a seat available for you right by me so you can watch, there is also a parent lounge available complete with coffee, snacks and a TV. In the parent lounge you will also find toys to keep siblings entertained during the session.

Milestone sessions can be for any age over 2 months with 3, 6, 9, 12 months and yearly birthday pictures the most commonly booked. For milestone sessions under 1 year I typically always do them in the studio with a variety of backdrops and props from my enormous collection! And just like the newborn sessions I am happy to completely style the session from the outfits used to the accessories and the props, I have a big client closet of outfits for sizes up to 2T. I often find outdoor sessions work best for 2 and older, although that is weather dependent and a studio session works too in the winter months, but outside they can run and play and interact with their surroundings and more genuine smiles happen easier. There are plenty of great parks and public areas around here to get the perfect setting for each session! In my opinion every age is the best age for a milestone session, babies and kids change and grow so fast! Lets capture their drooling smiles, their wobbly sitting, their toothy grins or even their gap tooth grins, you’ll even love their awkward years……..we all have them and we love them!

FAMILY

When was your last family picture taken? How many images do you have of you with your littlest loves??? I know it’s hard and seems stressful and you don’t know where to start BUT that’s what I am here for, I can help you and in fact I would love to help you! When you schedule a family session with me I am happy to help you with everything from picking out the perfect day to the best outfits and a location that will make it all come together and have your family center stage and ready to be displayed in your home for you to love everyday or on Christmas cards for you to share with friends and family. My goal is to take the stress away, of course you will still worry about what you look like and how your kids will behave but I promise to make it as fun of an experience as possible! Let’s make family pictures a priority, family is everything!

SENIOR

Senior pictures………yes that’s still a thing and it is FUN! Your baby is hitting their biggest milestone yet and what better way to celebrate than making them center stage and doing 1 last BIG session for them! No, people don’t hand out wallets and sign them for their friends like when I was a kid. Now they want the digitals so they can put them all over their social media and use them as profile pictures, I get it and that’s why every Senior session comes with the digitals. Most all of my Senior sessions are done outside at various locations and usually done in the summer or fall going into their Senior year. I will help with outfit suggestions and picking locations to give them the look that they desire…..they all have lots of desires! These sessions are fun and we move fast from 1 location to the next to get all the looks and a variety of outfits for an amazing 1st Senior year experience!
