Hey there! I’m Angela — a photographer, entrepreneur, and lifelong creative with a passion for capturing people as they are, right here and right now.

I’ve been doing photography for over 20 years, specializing in high school seniors, families, and small businesses. For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures — it’s about connection. I love getting to know my clients, finding their personality, and creating images that celebrate their story in an authentic, joyful way.

When I’m not behind the camera, I work in the hearing aid industry, serving our local senior community. That experience has taught me so much about listening, patience, and genuine connection — lessons that carry over beautifully into how I approach every photo session.

Recently, I’ve also launched a small business focused on spreading positivity through inspiring apparel. It’s been such a rewarding way to combine creativity with a message I truly believe in: choosing joy and lifting others up.

With my kids grown and this new chapter in full swing, I’m embracing what it means to build a life and business that reflect who I am — grounded, grateful, and always growing.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, confident, and seen, I’d love to work with you and create something truly special.
