Living Space | A Family Home in Greenwood

Andrea — Mon, 13 May 2013 18:00:00 +0000

I adore this home outside of Charlottesville in Greenwood, VA. The Abbots have called this house, built 180 years ago as the Greenwood School for Boys, their home for nearly twenty years. Their three girls grew up here, as have their golden retreivers, leaving traces of family in every room. A true Living Space in every way, when I visited last December I knew I needed to return to document this special place.

The house itself is dripping with character, from uneven plaster walls to exposed beams across the ceilings, and is adorned with the simple, chic style of a family who loves comfort, nature and art. Each room is comfortably bright even on the grayest of days, nearly causing me to give in to the desire to curl up with a book or magazine on a slip-covered chair in a light-filled corner. With the family dogs pressing their noses to the glass doors, I moved through each room slowly and meticulously, taking moments to sit on a couch, touch a blanket, and observe the art on the walls, trying my best to imagine how the family who lives here inhabits each space.

Welcome to the Abbots'!

Living Space is a personal project inspired by real spaces being inhabited by real people in a very real way. If you know of a home that would be a good subject for this series, please get in touch with me, here.

Scout is Out! Charlottesville Vol. 5

Andrea — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:16:24 +0000

A good part of my winter was spent working with Heather Halsey, editor of The Scout Guide - Charlottesville, to create the fifth volume in the beautiful Charlottesville series. What a pleasure!!! Each photo shoot was so different, with a wonderful variety of people, spaces, and products to capture. Below are a few of my favorite spreads.

Be sure to pick up the new book, available in shops and restaurants all over Charlottesville! You're sure to find inspiration cover-to-cover.

Thank you, Heather, Susie and Christy for folding me into your awesome team! xoxo.

Our team: Heather Halsey + Andrea Hubbell. Many thanks to Cramer Photo for capturing my portrait. :)

Meghann + Derek | Married 01.05.2013!

Andrea — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:00:00 +0000

Meghann and Derek were married at Birdsong Barn in Florida this January! I loved the 'Rustic Snowflake' theme of their day; the textured barn wood and sparkly snowflakes complimented each other in a very appealing way. M + D were so adorable together; Derek's calm personality perfectly balances Meghann's bubbly nature. They laughed their way through their portraits, making silly faces at each other and causing fits of giggles that made them so much fun to photograph. And the dancing!!! They, and their guests, knew how to party. What a fun night!

Meghann + Derek...congratulations!!! Much love to you both. xoxo, A

Roxie Daisy

Andrea — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:00:00 +0000

I always enjoy working with Roxie Daisy. Being surrounded by beautiful textures, objects, books, and furniture all day long is a dream for this former designer. It has been 16 months since our last photography session, and the Roxie Daisy website was in need of an upgrade. Here is a little taste of what we captured:

Have you seen the new Scarpa website? Designed by Brian, built by our friend Brendan, staff portraits by Sarah, and store/detail images by me. What a fun collaboration! Thanks for bringing us all together, Amy!

Brookville Cookbook

Andrea — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:50:48 +0000

Photographing a cookbook has been a dream of mine for four+ years now, ever since I created Bella Eats in 2008. I am thrilled and excited to be working with one of the best chefs in Charlottesville, Harrison Keevil, and my Beyond the Flavor partner, Sarah Cramer Shields, to create the first Brookville cookbook. Exciting things are in the works, friends! 2013 is off to a great start.

For a sneak peek of our first shoot, check in at Beyond the Flavor. And, please consider donating to our Kickstarter campaign! We'd be so grateful.
