Andrew Shinn (shinnphoto)

I'm a dad, a husband, a reader, a writer, a blogger, and an appreciator of people.

I take pictures because I'm driven to create.

I really like making normal people look great, so you probably won't see any gorgeous models in my photostream. Just regular people who look like gorgeous models.

For many people, my images will be a defining point in their self-image. I take that seriously, and I treat them with a respect befitting the beauty I see in all people.

Beauty - respect - love - appreciation: that's what I strive to create and the spirit with which I approach those for whom I'm privileged to make portraits.
