ABOUT

Thanks so much for stopping by my website.  I’d love to tell you a little bit about myself:  I feel passionate about what I do, and I pinch myself every day, feeling so lucky that I get to wake up and do what I love.  But it wasn’t always like this.

I’ve loved photography forever, starting on my high school yearbook team.  I had no idea what I was doing, but I was given a camera, a darkroom, and all the other necessities.  I learned old-school:  trial and error.  It was awesome.  Fast forward to college, where I was an art major and continued my formal study of photography.  After that, photography was just something I did in my spare time….it wasn’t a business yet.  I had been pursuing acting in New York City and loved it, but found myself bartending most of the time.  After ten years of working for tips and being ready to make a change, I sent myself back to school to study digital photography.  The world of photography had changed so much!  After nine months of full-time, hands-on study, I graduated and officially started Astri Wee Photography.

But I wasn’t actively seeking clients and putting effort into building my company. Until I very unexpectedly became a single mom just after my son, Kai, turned one.  That was when I realized that if I was serious about making my passion my source of income, I needed to buckle down.  Being a creative and owning a business is a big undertaking, and I was up for the challenge.  Since then, right around fall 2014, I’ve slowly and organically grown my business to what it is today.  And I continue to grow.

Regardless of the capacity in which you work with me, two things are important:  1) that you have fun (and for that, you have to be comfortable!), and 2) that you love the end product.  I have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.  If you are not thrilled with your final pictures, we reshoot at no cost to you.

So let’s leap together.  Whether you are looking for images for your website, you’re a social media influencer and need a portfolio of images to work with, or need a stunning family portrait, click contact — I can’t wait to work with you!
