About Me

Hi, I’m Andrew DeLong—husband, father, and stargazer with a camera in hand and a dream in my heart. Galactic Visions by DeLong is more than just a name or a brand. It’s a love letter to the stars and a reflection of the journey my family and I are on as we seek meaning, wonder, and connection in the vastness of the cosmos.

Growing up, I was always drawn to the night sky. There was something about the quiet stillness, the endless depth, and the humbling presence of the stars that made me feel both small and deeply inspired. But it wasn’t until I became a dad that I truly understood the magic of those moments. Watching my daughters, especially my oldest, Willow, light up when we talk about Saturn, Mars, the Moon, the Big Dipper, and Orion’s Belt—it sparked something deep in me. Their curiosity reignited my own. That childlike wonder, that insatiable "why," that drive to explore—that’s the soul of Galactic Visions.

Our family lives a humble life. We don’t have a lot of space, but we make room for wonder. I often shoot from the little pocket of sky visible from our apartment, capturing what I can between the rainstorms of the Pacific Northwest. And somehow, even in the limitations, I’ve found beauty—maybe even because of them. That’s what I want others to see, too: that you don’t need to wait for the “perfect” setup to start exploring. The stars are already there, waiting.

My goal with Galactic Visions by DeLong is to offer more than just photographs. One day, I’d love to make prints and custom orders available so people can bring a piece of the galaxy into their homes. But even more than that, I dream of using this platform to inspire others—especially kids—to look up, to ask questions, and to fall in love with science, space, and discovery. I envision Galactic Visions becoming a place of learning, outreach, and shared curiosity. Whether it’s through educational content, talks, school visits, or community nights under the stars, I want to help spark that first moment of awe—the one that changes everything.

This journey is deeply personal to me. It’s about sharing the beauty of the universe with my daughters, helping them see that the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning. It’s about creating a legacy rooted in wonder, humility, and human connection. It’s about reminding others—maybe even you—that there’s still so much to be discovered, and it’s okay to chase the stars.

Thank you for taking the time to be here. Whether you're just passing by, looking for inspiration, or hoping to bring the cosmos a little closer to home, I’m honored to share this vision with you.

Clear skies, Andrew DeLong
