After nearly five years with Collin, Andrea Matherne is the staff photographer, handling commercial shoots, events, weddings, editorial and personal sessions.

Born in Baton Rouge, Andrea grew up in Denham Springs and studied Creative Writing at SELU. “As a kid, I was obsessed with books, and I loved pictures. I remember always believing that my career would be somewhere in the arts, I just wasn’t sure where creative writing would land me.” Andrea still loves writing but uses a different medium these days in her storytelling. Her work has been featured in local publications such as 225 and Country Roads magazines, among others, and she doesn’t plan on stopping there.

Between shooting, editing and freelancing, Andrea also practices brush lettering and calligraphy, writing the alphabet repeatedly until her hand hurts. She enjoys traveling to new places, music, watering and caring for her plants (in excess, at times), rewatching The Office and having deep chats over cups of coffee.

Lastly, Andrea is the remote office manager, handling all packaging and contracts, as well as assisting with client correspondence.
