Life is good.

I'm Andres Castaneda and I'm a lifestyle photographer based in Los Angeles, California. I have two full time jobs, one as a photographer and the other as a family man. Both I was meant to be. Both I would die if I couldn’t do. Though I've photographed hundred of happy families and couples, my greatest joy this year was seeing my son smile at me for the first time. Incredible.

Three years ago, I opened my doors to the world and I’ve developed a brand that speaks to collaboration, creativity and empowering clients to be part of the creative process versus just being on the receiving end. Social media has been my greatest friend and the vehicle to allow my clients to become the voice of my brand.

I live with my beautiful wife Vanessa, my three fantastic children (Tessa, Sienna and Andres) and our super cool dog, Bailey. I live for my family and struggle with putting the camera down to be in the pictures, but I see the world through my camera’s lens. It’s a double-edged sword. I love to eat pizza. I love running around Travel Town with my kids and photographing the world around me. I strive to be the best at my labor of love and in the process help people experience happiness. God had been good to me. I love my life.

Drop me a line. I it would awesome to chat with you about your project, my work or about the best pizza joints in town. :)

Take care, Andres.
