Terrific class that teaches the power of the small device we carry around with us all the time. Great for photos, but I had no idea how much you can improve the standard images. Nobody every says - I wish I had my camera - it's with us all the time. More...

i just completed the Iphonography class with Andy Mars. It includes photography lessons and how to use many photography apps, some free and some not, but you choose which you want to download. These apps greatly enhance your photos and some have the ability to alter them in MANY ways! She does assign “homework” which is fun. And the class content is flexible and tailored to student requests as well. My class started with 4 students but for various reasons people had to cancel so I was given “private” lessons on 2 occasions. She spent one class teaching me how to use a manual camera, per my request, for a vacation in the near future. Andy is passionate about photography, knowledgeable and patient but also has a lot of energy and is fun. More...

A professional photographer and artist, Andy Mars is also talented in conveying her thoughts and methods to others. She makes iPhone photography and all the related apps fun and easy to use. I learned so much in her course and always walked away smiling. I credit her with reviving my long-time interest in taking photographs. More...

Andy is a great photographer, but she is also an awesome and patient teacher. There is never a question too silly or a shortage of time to share her knowledge or demonstrate a technique. Would highly recommend taking one her classes. More...

Enjoy taking a class instructed by ANdy Mars. She taught 10 students on how to use their cameras which was very impressive considering we all had different cameras. She also gave us iphone app recommendations on how to improve our pictures. I highly recommend her classes. More...

For almost a year, I have had the privilege to take personalized, private digital photography lessons from Andy Mars. My photography aptitude has greatly increased as I have learned Photoshop, Lightroom, textured photography and video editing. I have learned how to work with difficult lighting to create the best photograph for clients and proper positioning for photo shoots, headshots, and group events. She always goes out of her way to help her students. With her assistance, I am creating a website, have entered numerous art shows and have my photographs displayed in local restaurants. Andy Mars’ enthusiasm and expertise caused me to turn a hobby and passion into a career. She even has allowed me to assist her at a photo session to give me more experience and expertise. She is talented, passionate, easy going, very friendly, welcoming, and hard working. She is very flexible and always accommodated my college schedule. Every class was enjoyable, informative, and enhanced my creativity and skill. I continue to look forward to my weekly lessons from a wonderful instructor, who I consider a great mentor. More...

I took an iPhone photography course with Andy and a whole other world opened up for me. From the get go I was able to take fantastic pictures with my iPhone. ..perfect focus, perfect light. From there we went on to explore many apps which then brought a whole other creative dimension to my photos. Seeing what she did with her photos was an inspiration! If you ever get the chance, take her course at the Farmington Valley Arts Center! More...

Andy is an incredibly talented photographer. She took the most amazing, authentic photos of our family for our 25 wedding anniversary. My children, who usually aren't into the family photo experience, had a great time. She is creative, calm, easy to work with, and shoots "outside of the box" creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. When we saw the proofs, we loved all of them! More...

I purchased a print from Andy Mars. It was a scene of two elderly people in the park, gardening. She turned what could have been an ordinary scene into a beautiful work of art. With experienced handling, she enhanced the colors and light to make it truly impressionistic. She let some of the less interesting aspects of the shot bleed off the edges, focusing more on her subjects. If feel a true enjoyment every time I look at it. More...

My husband and I were on a very tight budget for our wedding, so we were really pleased to get a photographer for the price Andy offered, especially in NYC. The pictures turned out great.

I was looking for some photos to adorn my home in Woodstock, NY and was referred to the portfolio of Ms. Mars. I was enthralled by many of her photos, and chose three, which were a perfect fit in my master bedroom. Her work is beautiful, unique, and any homeowner would be proud to display her art. More...

I have had discussions with Ms. Mars to learn about her services, both for myself and for my clients. I reviewed her portfolio of photos and made notes of ones I think would interest my clients. Ms. Mars responded quickly when I requested photos of specific subjects not in her portfolio. More...

Q&As

When your photos are different from the norm. I like to think outside the box, keeping it fun, quirky and a little edgy!

Where & when is the event. How many people would I be photographing. What style does the client like.

When I make others happy about the work I did for them.

This is what I know best and I have a passion for photography.

Because I am unique and fun! :-) Please take a look at my photographs on my website (andymarsphotography.com) to see all the different styles I present.
