I tear up every time I look at these moments captured by Angela. Every. Dang. Time.
She made our surprise engagement AND first ever photoshoot together seamless and even MORE memorable. As an awkward girlie, I was sooo worried about feeling unnatural and uncomfortable getting pictures taken by a professional—but with a surprise proposal and Angela, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
The prompts felt so organic and not awkwardly posed, she encapsulated our full expressions into photos that we’ll always look back on fondly. After hearing how she and my now fiancé orchestrated an amazing proposal, she offered many options of how and where he should propose! I’ve always wanted an intimate setting with nature and she helped DELIVER!! Coming all the way from the east coast, this was all I could ever dream of and ask for. Thank you again, if anyone is on the fence for a PNW photographer—GO WITH HER. She knows her stuff and is an absolute delight of a human being🥹
She matched my VERY high energy vibe (I’m sorry) and helped me fall in love with Oregon even more, might even pack up the animals and move to Oregon

I am so grateful for our wedding photos. We got married at the Metolius with only a few people present. I knew I wanted to keep everything simple but the one thing I was sure I wanted was photos. Angela perfectly captured that day. When people tell me they want to elope, I always tell them to still get a photographer and recommend Angela. Thank you!

Angela is a very talented photographer and makes you feel completely at ease. My family and I have had engagement, wedding, headshots, and family photos from her over the years. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time working with this photographer for my surprise engagement photoshoot! I was coming from another state and was looking for a professional who knew the area very well and could help me get the best possible setting to surprise my now fiancée! Would definitely recommend! Pleasant, accommodating, and detail-oriented, the surprise was a huge success and my fiancée and I love how the photos turned out!

Angela was fantastic! We did a mixed-age family shoot and Angela was great with all ages, including my two young nieces. She was professional, kind and thoughtful throughout the process and the actual shoot. Angela brings a good balance of fun/silly and low-key, which brought a lighthearted energy to our shoot that allowed the whole family to be ourselves and feel comfortable. Not to mention gorgeous photos that showcase our family personality! 10/10 would reccomend for your family photos or event.

Absolutely phenomenal! What a joy to be around. You spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer and Angela is SO FUN. Very professional and organized leading up to the day of and, from the teaser shots we've seen so far, positively stunning work. She captured the attention of shy toddlers and wrangled an unruly extended family with ease. 11/10

We had very specific and daunting ideas in mind for a photo session at the beach, with a family of 15 and a dog…and a chalk color war. Angela took us on and we couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out! She was so careful with the planning to get the right lighting, conditions and placement for us all. Highly recommend, even if you have weird photo ideas, try her, she’ll rock that.
