Lamia

My name is Lamia, or Mia for short. I'm a Sacramento-based photographer dedicated to capturing the world's beauty one frame at a time. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm embracing the joys of motherhood and capturing as many magical and goofy moments as possible with my son.

Surprisingly, I had yet to consider photography in my life plan. I was a medical assistant for several years in many different medical offices until a woman with a crystal ball brain and an incredibly eye-opening experience entered my life and whispered all things photography in my ear. From there, my world has slowly bloomed into something exquisitely beautiful.

My life is blended and filled with creativity, curiosity, and thrill-seeking excitement. When I'm not spending time with loved ones and friends, you usually find me curled up in a cozy blanket with my nose in a book. I am an avid fantasy-romance reader, often lost in mythical worlds of the fae, Wiccans, wizards, gargoyles, and, most importantly, love. Reading takes me to a place full of enchantment and exhilarating experiences that influence my work in the photography world.

I am a thrill seeker, always looking for new adventures and adrenaline-pumping experiences, whether on a roller coaster or binge-reading my latest book. I love all things spooky, so of course, Halloween is my favorite time of year, but in my home, Halloween is a year-long celebration. Next to all of my dark oddities and curiosities, you will find vibrant greenery that will make you feel like you're hiding in an indoor jungle. As a tattooed, hopeless romantic, and proud Leo, I embrace my life with a fiery spirit and a heart full of passion. My tattoos tell the stories of my dreams and desires, which mirror my romantic and whimsical outlook on life.

Above all, I am a devoted animal lover who cherishes every moment spent with my fur (and scale) babies: Pickle, a Shih Tzu who will turn 13 this coming April; Mochi, a one-year-old spoiled French Bulldog; Butters, a Banana Ball Python; Medusa, a Ball Python; and Citrine, a rescued Tortoiseshell named after my favorite crystal, who will be two in October. Welcome to the zoo!

My day begins with a strong cup(s) of coffee, fueling my creativity and inspiring me to continue my adventures. But before I dive into the day, I seek guidance and insight from the mystical realm of tarot readings. The lover's tarot, one of my tattoos, symbolizes union and romantic consideration for yourself and your partner, a reflection of my hopeless romantic nature.

Whether I'm capturing a fleeting moment, embracing a thrilling adventure, finding new meaning in life with my son, or tending to my plants, my goal remains the same. I am always seeking ways to infuse love, magic, and a bit of wonder into everything I do, including the work I create.

Let's create something magical together!

Hi, I’m Andrew, a photographer based in the heart of Sacramento. Photography is more than just a job—it’s a way to connect with people and show them the beauty in their everyday lives. As a family man and Christ follower, I live by the values of love, patience, and integrity, which shape how I approach life and photography. These values help me capture the true essence of each person and moment, bringing out what makes them special.

My love for cars, golf, and football also influences my work. Whether it’s the precision of a golf swing or the attention to detail in a car’s design, I bring that same focus and care to every photo I take. I believe that capturing life’s details helps tell the full story.

Photography is about so much more than just a well-composed picture. It’s about capturing genuine emotions, telling a story, and creating memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Whether it’s the laughter of a child, a candid family moment, or the excitement of a special day, I want my photos to reflect the love and connection in your life. My goal is to create images that don’t just fill an album, but become treasured memories that still spark the same emotions years later, evoking a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality.

What drives me is helping people see just how meaningful their everyday moments are. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to miss those little moments that end up meaning the most. I love being able to freeze time, even for a moment, and give you something to look back on that brings those memories rushing back.

As someone who deeply values family, I understand how important it is to preserve those fleeting moments. Time passes quickly, but photography allows us to hold onto the moments that matter. I’m committed to making sure you feel seen, heard, and comfortable in front of the camera so that your true personality shines through in every shot. My commitment to your satisfaction is unwavering, ensuring you feel reassured and confident in the quality of my work.

I’m a regular guy who loves working with people to create authentic, meaningful photos. I want my clients to feel comfortable, have fun, and enjoy making memories. So whether you’re looking for family portraits, exceptional event photography, or want to capture the joys of everyday life, I’m here to help. Let’s create something special together!
