Introduction
We are obsessed with headshots and portraits, because we love capturing people in a way that share your vision and story best. With us, you'll get a very comfortable photo shoot where we'll coach and guide you through every step. No stress! It's a painless process. Just check our reviews! Andi has had a camera in her hand since 2009, when she bought herself a Canon DSLR. She started photographing her friends' skateboarding and dabbled in weddings for a while. She eventually found her passions were headshots, creative portraits, and product photography. That's how Whiskey Media was founded. Outside of photography and running (multiple) businesses, she is a competitive bodybuilder, as well as a stand up comedian. Interestingly, these lend to making her a skilled photographer for a few reasons. She has expert experience in posing after being coached for years for bodybuilding. And she is in the entertainment industry, helping her have insider knowledge to what's needed to further your career in the industry. Needless to say, you're in good hands with Andi behind the camera.

I had a great experience with Andi at Whiskey Media. She was very responsive, and a fantastic value. She was able to slot me in very quickly for a quick turn-around for my corporate headshots. I'll go back for my next professional photography needs!

It was great working with Andie and Nemo. They were easy to schedule with, affordable, and took some great pictures! Like many people, I'm not comfortable in front of a camera, but they made it look like I was. Andie had my pictures back to me in 3 business days. Great option for professional headshots!
