About Us

We’re Claire and Andy—a husband and wife duo behind the cameras, parents to two wild and wonderful kids, and big believers in preserving the messy, beautiful magic of family life.

Through our wedding work (Claire Marika Photography), we’ve spent over a decade capturing love stories. But everything changed when we became parents ourselves. Suddenly we weren’t just preserving memories for other people—we were living inside the messy, beautiful, blink-and-it’s-gone magic of family life. And we realized just how important it is to bottle it up before it slips away.

That’s how Honeybee Photo was born.

We’re right there in the parenting trenches with you—snacks in the car, laundry piles everywhere, and a camera roll full of blurry toddler chaos. We know how much work it takes just to get everyone out the door, so we’ve built our entire approach around making family photos as stress-free and doable as possible.

At Honeybee, we offer all kinds of sessions to fit your family and your season—whether it’s a quick and fun mini shoot, a full storytelling session, a milestone you want to remember, or a big extended family gathering. No matter the format, our goal is the same: to capture the love, connection, and real-life moments that make your family yours.

We’re here to help you press pause, even for just a little while, and hold onto the beauty of now—snuggles, silliness, meltdowns and all.
