Meet Your Photographer: Andrea Norberg
capturer of Life Moments
Bringing out your beautiful since 2011.
Andrea was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan. Her father was a photography enthusiast and taught her the basics at a very early age. She could be found in her father's dark room gaining knowledge and helping with one of her favourite tasks, making enlargements. It is fair to say that Andrea caught the photography bug early and never stopped.
Growing up, Andrea always travelled with her little point-and-shoot camera. Every tree, every person, every cluster of wild flowers became her subject. But it wasn't until she went on a school trip to Europe in her senior year that she truly became inspired. She knew then, that this was her true passion.
“My clients frequently complain about hating having their picture taken. What a shame - but I get it. I’m more comfortable behind the lens as well.
In this selfie & duckface ridden world, I’ve taken on the personal challenge to prove that anyone can look good in a photograph. I’ll work with you and take the time to to figure out what works best for you - not to look like a different person, but to bring out your best self.”
Andrea graduated from the University of Regina in 2004 with a BFA in film, and worked in retail and administration for a few years afterwards. The death of a friend in the mid-2000s led her to decide to move away from Joe-jobs and down a more fulfilling career path. A heart-to-heart with her mother prompted her to focus on photography. She completed SIAST's Applied Photography Program in 2011, graduating with distinction and opening her business that same summer. She has been learning and growing as a photographer and loving it ever since!
