My photographic adventure began in circa 1980’s San Diego taking candids of friends eating lunch under trees for my middle school yearbook. Shooting for the UCLA Daily Bruin set me on a path to summer internships at the Seattle Times and the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Meeting interesting people with stories to tell was the best part of that work.

I took a pause to complete my studies and begin work as a physical therapist. After our first kid arrived, I launched Audrey Lee Photography in 2006 and began photographing families in San Diego.

Kids grow fast and get busy. Parents get busier. We moved to Seattle in 2009 and I took another pause in the business but never the photography. Life needed me elsewhere.

I’m now ready to return to the space where I thrive. Where I get to make striking images of some interesting people. This is the reboot I’ve been waiting for. Audrey Lee Photography returns with a focus on young adult portraiture. High school seniors are at such a complex and fascinating milestone of their lives-so much of what they look forward to they have no idea what it will be. I am here to chronicle this treasured time.
