In 1971 Andrew hitched a ride from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan; he was heading for Vancouver and his ride ended in Abbotsford, making it home. It was not an easy start however, with the love for the art and the perseverance to succeed, it has been a great 50 years. Arlene was introduced to photography by Andrew after her graduation session in the late 70s. Arlene began her career as a Retouch Artist, and also applies her skill to restoration of old images.
Andrew & Arlene are accredited photographers with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC). Both have been awarded their Craftsman, Masters and hold other prestigious designations. Andrew has studied with some of the great European photographic masters including Zeltzman, and through the years he has developed a 6th sense when it comes to lighting and composition which can be easily observed in his family portraits and body sculptures.
Working together for the past 45 years they continue to strive for excellence in art and photography.
This new chapter of our life brought us to the Okanagan and we now enjoy working with a new natural background. The serene location has allowed us to slow down and enjoy life more, which of course includes the abundance of great wineries. We are happy to photograph your family if we are not off somewhere enjoying life.
