We need your help!!!!

These two very handsome boys are going to be going to Disney next month to try out for a TV show.  They each need a headshot and mom & dad and I just couldn't come to a difinitive decision... SO, we are asking for your help!!! Could you please chose which of the photographs is your favorite of each boy?

Each boy recited their lines to me and they were both so clever.  Made me smile!

First off is Robert, during his rehearsal he'll be discussing the very serious business of saving your mashed potatoes so that you can hide your vegetables under them. Ü

Next is Justin.  His lines involve a lot of hot dogs.  It made me laugh as I thought to myself that he was describing my husband and probably just about any man on earth.  Justin's lines involve him being at a friend's house, but he has to leave at dinner time if they don't have any hot dogs because that's all he will eat.

Thanks in advance for your help! We appreciate it!

The Beautiful and Talented Amy

Meet Amy. Gorgeous right, and she's got talent... Alot of it!!! 


The reason we photographed Amy is because she needed Playbill headshots for vocal performances.  Not only does she sing, but she is also an interior decorator! And to top it off she's mom to three beautiful and energetic children. 


I've known Amy for years now! I used to play softball and work with her hubby Joe when I worked for "The Credit Union."  Amy would come and support us at so many of our softball games and I can remember back to when her oldest son was born.  (That was just last year, right?!?!) ;)


When Amy and I got together for her portrait session and she disclosed that she was doing interior design... I was soooo excited!  She's been helping me with my bathroom project and I can't wait to see it all finished!!!

Thanks Amy for a wonderful session and for being awesome in dealing with my indecision! (This awesome woman even went to Lowe's with me and shopped!)

She's the best!!!!

A Valentine's Day Wedding - Julie & Doug - Salish Lodge - WA



This is Julie... she and I met through a wonderful photographer friend named Kelly.  Kelly was an invited guest at their wedding and was also like 12 months pregnant *ready to pop at any moment* and therefore Julie hired me to capture the events of their special day!


The day of the the consultation Julie brought her twin sister with her because her then fiance was watching football and couldn't be torn from the television! ;) Tip to wives to be... don't schedule a consultation when sports are on that your fiance can't walk away from!!! Ü 

So because of  FOOTBALL (said with the sarcasm and frustration of a football widow) I didn't even get the chance to meet Doug until the wedding day.  But I felt like I could have known him forever.  Julie and Doug are just the sweetest and coolest couple.
  

The wedding was at the Salish Lodge which I had never been to.  It was a BEAUTIFUL location for a wedding.  The weather was not wonderful, so we didn't get to do any photographs near the waterfall, but thankfully it did clear up enough to snap a few outdoor portraits!



I am thinking back fondly of this day and remembering that it was so beautiful that I ditched my flash stand at the door and decided to go with the reflector for fill light.  I laugh as I think about the fact that I forgot to remove my transmitter to my flash and realized after about 20 minutes that even at the other end of the parking lot I was still firing my flash... poor valet guys probably felt like they were the victim of paparazzi! Ü



I have been inspired to take a creative photograph of the wedding rings that isn't the "traditional shot" by one of my fellow photogs.  She does absolutely non traditional ring photographs and I LOVE them. I for one think, why would you want a photo JUST like everyone else... Your wedding, your rings, you're unique... let's do something fun and different.  I take that attitude into every wedding I shoot!  Of course if you want the traditional shots, I'll get those too... but I'll be thinking in the back of my mind how I can add a different touch or an additional photograph that is unique to you!



Thank you for including me as a part of your special day!  I am looking forward to creating your wedding album and remembering all the wonderful moments of your day!

Sweet adorable Baby Theo




Meet Baby Theo. 
If you are a fan (or like me... or whatever they'll call it this week) on Facebook you've already seen this little cutie when I did a sneak peek for mom & dad. 





Theodore was born on 1/18/10 and was photographed at the ripe old age of 22 days.

Although he wasn't very happy with the fact that we kept putting him down and posing him to our own ideas instead of his... he still did very well and was definitely a photogenic babe!


Newborn sessions are best done around the two week mark, and generally take about 2.5-3 hours because they need to eat, be snuggled and have time to get comfy. 



Conveniently, there is a coffee shop just across the street from my studio, so when it just so happened that Mr Theodore was having a day where he needed lots of snuggling and loving, dad was able to run across the street to get some beverages and lunch while we waited for the star of the show to settle in.

This was my first newborn session at the studio and I think it went amazingly well!  I can't believe how many different options I thought of for photographing him... so many that I couldn't even get to them all!

Thank you so much for the pleasure of  photographing your new family.

I can't wait to watch him grow!

Prom Dress Divas

Caitlin is definitely becoming a super star on my blog! Ü  This is her third appearance... but this time she's bringing friends!


I was thinking to myself... wouldn't it be awesome to offer Prom Dress Photos?  I mean after all, we buy this expensive dress and then wear it once.  Maybe loan it to a girlfriend to wear and then it sits in the closet.



We have to find just the right color, the right fit, make sure it's different from all of our friend's dresses... then we wear it once and we're done with it.  It sits in the closet and we think... I'm sure I'll wear it again some day...



Angie D Photography is now offering "Be a Prom Dress Diva" sessions!  What an awesome way to put your dress on a pedestal, get all gussied up, and get photographs of yourself rocking that dress like no one else could?!?!



Your session can be in the studio or on location.  Location ideas: a field with flowers and tall grass, near an old car or truck or barn, (the contrast between old and new is fun), the beach, downtown.... the ideas are endless!  Bring your bff's or make the session all your own!



So, where will your Diva session be?
