Welcome, I am Andrea Matthies

Meet the Photographer

I’m a portrait and fine art photographer based in Valley Center, California. I specialize in storytelling sessions for families, high school seniors, and individuals who want images that feel natural, expressive, and personal , always with a focus on meaningful locations and a relaxed experience.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m in the garden tending native plants, making herbal medicine, or working on cultural projects that honor ancestry and community. I also create film and alternative process work,
