This paint-slinging, picture-taking, clay-squishing, graphic-designing, homeschooling mom of two with five furbabies and two turtles, wife of a VERY patient man, has over 20 years of visual art producing and instructing experience tucked into her vintage train case turned camera case. Whether it is my personal photo projects inspired by a favorite story, or creating a keepsake portrait while a senior is telling the story of her dreams for the future, I LOVE creating art as a photographer! I love to incorporate little hiding spots, favorite place, and other sentimental and memorable hints into my photography. I am always trying new things to create the perfect artwork, while also using my years of experience to help mold it into shape. I don’t have to have a smile and get something that is authentic, although I do love to laugh and you know it is contagious! I usually get a some classic shots, but I also want to showcase your family and their personality with more lifestyle and documentary photography.

We limit the number of weddings we photograph each year so that we have the chance to get to know our couples. Customer service is incredibly important to us. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Artistic Dance Collaborative (TM) at Andrew Bowen Photography is a unique experience for dancers and movement artists. I focus on exploring their vision and embracing their creativity. When two artists truly collaborate, magic happens. I have earned my Master of Photography from Professional Photographers of America, and am also a Certified Professional Photographer. In addition to dance work, I also apply my creativity and attention to detail to professional headshots and senior photography. All of my client relationships start with a studio tour. We will discuss your goals, your style, your print options, and your budget. Whether a dancer, senior, professional, or all three, you will have an experience unlike any other when you come through my doors.

I live in Stokesdale with my beautiful wife, youngest daughter and 2 dogs. We are a blended family with 5 girls and 1 boy which has taught me a lot about patience as you can imagine. Being able to connect with clients comes easy for me, and I have a knack for making those around me feel comfortable, which also contributes to genuine images. Don’t believe me? Try me, I guarantee it! Now that you have gotten to know me, contact me so I can get to know you.

Photography is something I just LOVE! I have been a photographer for over 20 years. Since graduating from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill with a degree in photojournalism, I have worked in various areas of photography. I have worked for newspapers, wedding studios, product photography and studio photography. The past ten years I have been working independently in the New York area shooting mostly families and children. Beach photography has become my speciality. I also shoot all events including weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteens and corporate events. I also love shooting sports, especially football and lacrosse. Teenagers and modeling portfolios are also a growing part of my business. I like to keep the shoots light and easy...my goal is for you to have fun while we get great photos. My photojournalism training has taught me how to be unobtrusive at parties and events and just "capture" the special moments. I think my clients also appreciate the fact that I include the CD with all images. This separates me apart from many other photographers. I think of myself as a historian, capturing precious moments in time, especially with children. They change so fast ( I have four so I know!) and many of these beautiful moments will only be remembered if captured on film. I don't know about you but, I am having a lot of fun! I want to remember every minute of it! Let's capture it!
