Minnesota Photographer Andrew vick

"Life should be lived out loud." 

I have studied a lot and I love to learn. Being raised by school teachers taught me the value that everything is an educational opportunity. For college, I fled Minnesota to the shores of sunny San Diego where studies included photography, international business, Spanish, and even surfing (it's a college course!)

Wisdom exists everywhere and I have listened. The best advice I have received was to set a weekly date night with your partner. We have only missed two months of this while bringing our boys into the world. Showing each other that we are priority is big and meaningful.

When I am not with the camera, my favorite things include fly-fishing, playing golf, finding the next great bite or boutique hotel, and anything my boys want to explore. I got married in Duluth and have two boys, Diem and Nelson, who are my spirit animals.

Some of my happy places are floating down the Minnehaha on my kayak, bounding around Duluth and its breweries, picking apples, any chance to explore Latin America, or a simple stay-cation at our favorite hotel.
