Exposing what dwells within.
The second live/work space featured in the October ABODE is the home studio of interior designer Jeannette Andamasaris, of JAID. I love her eclectic taste and mix of old and new, as well as the abundant light that pours through the windows of her 2nd floor loft. Pick up the issue, on stands now, to read Jeannette's story!
The newest Cville ABODE is on stands now! The feature story this month focuses on the live/work studios of three local women; two artists and one designer. I loved meeting each of these women and photographing their lovely, creative spaces. Each deserves their own post, and today I am starting with painter Abby Kasonik's backyard studio. I love the bright, open space with oversized plants and a collection of unique found objects.
This is the fifth installment of my living space series, in which I spend a few hours in a home capturing the details of the lives lived within its walls.
I was first introduced to Adrienne and her home when I photographed her children's playroom for Cville Abode. We have a mutual friend, Anita, and when I put a request on Facebook for my next living space home, Anita sent me Adrienne's information. I immediately recalled how much I loved the space she's created for her family, mostly from thrifting and salvaging unique pieces. This Fry's Spring bungalow nestled in the trees gave me the opportunity to really play with shadow, and I embraced the moodier feel of rooms when they are lit only by the light streaming through the craftsman windows. I love the subdued palette puncutuated by the ocassional pop of color and Adrienne's eye for spying beautiful pieces in unexpected places.
Thank you, Adrienne, for inviting me into your home!

It has been since March that I posted my last Living Space feature...I can't believe it! Last week I photographed a beautiful home and am so excited to share the full series of images. Here's a little preview of what's to come...
There's a whole lot of Andrea Hubbell Photography in the Best Of C-Ville issue on stands now! We are so lucky to live in such an amazing city. Many congratulations to all the local people and businesses that received much-deserved recognition.
And, there's a really sweet write-up of Beyond the Flavor, too!
Pick up a copy now...this is an issue you'll want to hold on to and reference for the next year!
I love this sweet bedroom photographed for Stay Charlottesville yesterday. Don't you want to wake up in this lovely light?
Another beautiful Stay Charlottesville property, this one located on Park Street near downtown. I adore this home!
Pippin Hill Farm + Vineyards has one of the most beautiful tasting rooms in the area, and an incredible summer menu to enjoy while visiting! If the weather is nice, guests can borrow a blanket and have a picnic basket on the lawn. What are you doing this weekend?
Our long wait is over. Charlottesville finally has a pho restaurant! Vu Nguyen, owner and chef at Zinc, will open Moto Pho Co. to the very excited people of Charlottesville tomorrow, August 1st. He designed the clean, modern space that is bright with natural light by day and glowing, exposed lightbulbs by night. I love the community tables and the painted brick walls.
For a peek at the food and our experience as some of the first pho patrons yesterday, check out Beyond the Flavor! Where will you be for lunch tomorrow?!
Another beautiful home available to rent through Stay Charlottesville! Crossfields has it all...a lovely interior, gourmet kitchen, incredible views, refreshing pool...and chickens!
Looking for a country estate to retreat to? Check out this beautiful 1800s Jeffersonian-style estate on 4000 acres just outside of Charlottesville, available for rent through Stay Charlottesville.
Before the next issue comes out in another week...check out the Cville Abode June issue for the story behind this gorgeous Staunton home!
Even with two degrees in architecture, I cannot figure out how this stair is structured...
I spent two days in West Virginia with the talented ladies of 224 Design and Dollilop Designs last month, creating images for a bridal marketing piece for Hawthorn. Unfortunately, it seems that this lovely place may never be open to the public. Regardless, I am pleased to have both Karen and Leslie in my life, and look forward to future collaborative projects with the talented duo.
The images created are meant to portray the essence of the orchards surrounding Hawthorn, and to give couples an idea of what their day would feel like if they chose this beautiful backdrop for their spring wedding.
It is no secret that I adore SCARPA. For the last few months I've been documenting Spring in the shop with the help of the talented Kai'li, SCARPA blogger, social media extrordinaire, and stylist. It has been such a pleasure to spend a couple of hours in the shop each week with her, soaking in the beauty of the space and their merchandise.
When Tina and Mark, owners of Fosteria Design and Woodworks, contacted me about styling and photographing their designs they asked if I had any thoughts about where we might set up our shoot. I came up with some ideas and met them at their home to see the pieces in person...and completely fell in love with their beautiful, historic farmhouse. Tina has done a wonderful job with the interior, using soft neutrals and natural materials throughout each room. It was the perfect setting to photograph their lovely designs, which are all made with reclaimed wood and found objects.
Tina and Mark are a talented duo, designing and crafting clocks, coat racks, furniture (check out Mark's desk!) and even delicate candlesticks. Rather than photograph their pieces in a generic setting without context, I wanted to capture them in a lived-in space that would add to the personality of their brand. Tina and I worked to style each vignette while Mark moved and hung clocks and coat racks where we asked. It was a great day, and I am so pleased with the images captured!
Check out this month's C-Ville Abode!!! There is lots of AHP between the covers...
The new Tablescape column! Such fun to style and photograph.
Mike and Karen Ball in the 'A Room of One's Own' column.
Feature story about three yurts in and around Charlottesville.
Many thanks to C-Ville for the opportunity to photograph such fun people, spaces, and food!
Check out this month's issue of Abode, featuring architect Jim Tuley's last design. I love this modern home, which utilizes it's steep lot remarkably well. The homeowners' art collection is quite impressive, too.
A few of my favorites from the shoot...
I am so honored to have been asked to write, style, and photograph a story in the new wedding publication, The Clutch Guide. This bridal luncheon was inspired by the Friday lunch at Galatoire's we experienced during our last trip to New Orleans. For the recipes of some of our favorite NOLA dishes, check out pages 47-53 online.
Many thanks to Jennifer Prince of Hill City Bride for asking me to be part of such a beautiful publication!
Happy Friday! Take time to enjoy Spring if you've still got hold of her in your part of the world. We're hitting 90 degrees in Charlottesville on Monday and I am not prepared for summer!
Here is a little peek at the two days I spent at Hawthorn House + Orchard in West Virginia this week, where Spring is still going strong...
To follow my images of Cate's home, I wanted to share this image from the March issue of Abode. It is the space of Iñaki Alday, chair of the Department of Architecture at UVA, and partner in the firm owned by he and his wife, aldayjover. I love this quote that Cate captured from Iñaki:
"A compliment we received from a photographer once was that our work is hard to photograph. We think this is good. It means the qualities are not obvious and staged in a way that looks like a set. I have a hard time with spaces that are designed only to look great in a photograph. Rooms are meant to be lived in." - Iñaki Alday
