Image maker. Traveller. Photo Educator. Mother.

Founder and Director, Andrea Rees, has been a photography professional since 2003. She began her career as a portrait photographer in Toronto, Canada and is known for her natural, artistic and emotive baby, family and women’s portrait photography. Her work has been featured on CBC, W Network, Splice Network and in national and international magazines including Shutterbug magazine.

When Andrea is not in Toronto, she loves to explore the world and experience it first-hand with her children and husband or solo. She is passionate about cultural and wildlife experiences as well as supporting small businesses, responsible tourism and women’s empowerment initiatives.  Her travel photography has been featured in apps and has been published in print and digital magazines.

At the age of 11, she began fundraising, donating and participating, in causes she believes in from 25km walkathons to 32km bikeathons. As her photography business grew, she gave a portion of her maternity and women’s portrait session fees to breast cancer research.

She began experimenting with the iPhone as a camera since its arrival in Canada in 2008. After photographing solely with an iPhone for 3 years, she realized the capability of the iPhone as a viable tool for photography. In 2013, she founded The Heart of a Woman Project (THOAW).
