Month: August, 2010
lauren found us on the oh-so-awesome wedding chicks blog, and knew she’d found the right photographers (or we prayed she knew!) when she told us about her vintage Florida wedding plans. we so totally can’t wait till next spring… especially now that we’ve met her photographer self (check out her vintage mamiya – i tried not to drool on it) and james’ musician self (visit his band The Nine Volts here!). thank you guys so much for being brave, for bringing awesome props, and just making our evening FUN!
lauren, you make the most adorable faces. we went home talking about how fun it will be to see you as a bride and capture all those great expressions! i couldn’t believe when i opened up your images and both hubby and i captured this look! when you two make each other smile it is. just. cool. defined.
i’ve no idea why 
but our oldest son loves shooting e-sessions with us. you’ll see a couple of his images here in this post… this image was his vision!
special thanks to the st. petersburg shuffleboard club. we adore this place, and ever since we gave shuffleboard a try with friends on a Friday night, we’ve had big visions for some cool sessions here. you guys were awesome hosts and the club is one of the coolest places in St. Pete!
tiffany is our neighbor, and a mom with a love for girly things as great as her little girl’s! she wasn’t able to be at the session, so i’m super excited to share a few images of her adorable babies! enjoy, mom and dad! (you guys did a great job – i love these! )
she’s making her grumpy face here on purpose, i promise!
usually i have a strong preference for color or black and white, but i think i love these equally.
sweet baby-brother! i love this image because it was at the very end of the session, and while i was shooting away with his big sister, anna had picked up this little guy to snuggle. i want to eat him for dessert. (man, i’ve gotta quit admitting that…)
just a few more.
thank you guys, and miss jenny, for a super wild-and-crazy-fun morning! (and thank you as always, my own girl, for totally rocking.)
hugs! –miss angela
p.s. – it’s time again for some blog-love fun. leave some comments for the adorable v. family. 20 comments earns them a special gift!
crazy story… julie and i “met” at a Christian retreat and hit it off on the spot. as we talked, we realized first, that we went to the same college. then, that it was at the same time. oh, no way… we knew each other! i remember meeting her through a fellow member of our traveling theatre troupe. i thought she was adorable! guess what? she still is. she’s now a phenomenal counselor, specializing in children’s counseling. as a mom of five myself, i value her for her wisdom and sensitivity toward children and families. these are a little peek into her headshot session to help clients get to know her better through her website. (yep, that’s clickable!)
this one makes me giggle, because i asked her to “rest her arm” on a patch of long grasses… didn’t she make it look genuine?
thank you for being such an example to me of a woman who knows who she is in her Maker’s world. and for being so beautiful! oh, and, happy birthday!
hugs…angela
it’s no secret that i’m smitten with kylie. she and her big brother and sister (well, okay, and mom and dad!) are my dream models. their love for each other shines through in each of their sessions, and they’re willing to put up with crazy miss angela to get their memorable images. this session commemorates baby sister’s one year birthday, and as usual, she spoiled me rotten with her dramatic expressions, her heart-stopping gaze, and of course, her attentive family.
truly, i can’t take it.
baby-girl, your family adores you… and what an awesome family they are.
mommy didn’t plan to get “caught” on this session, but i couldn’t help myself.
…and the smash-the-cake. seriously love the delicate little handling of her cupcake. it was, i’m pretty sure, her first taste of junk food. (tainted by miss angela – i’m sorry!) she ate like such a lil’ lady… even covered in frosting! (*special note for all the mommas – this adorable ensemble was created by my friend alicia of too too precious. visit her facebook page for ordering info!)
who’s the yummy one?!
miss angela loves you, kylie-baby! tristan and mackenzie, i like you guys quite a lot, too!
BIG hugs to you all… miss angela
mike is a fabulous DJ we had the privelege to work with at several weddings, where we grew to respect and really like him and his beautiful wife, victoria. when they shared with us during a reception that they were expecting their first lil’ one, we giggled and danced with them… and then even more so when they asked us to do their maternity session. (okay, angela giggled and danced…)
anywhoo, when victoria agreed to be brave and creative and play with us on the beach, anna and i couldn’t wait.
when we say, “loving legacy,” we mean not just yours, but ours, too. as homeschool parents, we consider our family business to be part of our kids’ education. you’ll often find one of our own to be assisting us… they’re learning photographic art and technique alongside their parents, and we’d be thrilled if someday they take us over.
i’m so spoiled to get to “work” with clients like this, and with my tiny little girl, who doesn’t just help me, but is developing a creative voice all her own, with growing technical skills to match. pretty soon, i’ll be assisting her. can’t wait!
i’m proud to be your mama, sweet girl. it’s an honor to work alongside you. 
and one more momma-word: our girl doesn’t just stand over my shoulder. these images are her own composition and even posing… all manual exposure on our professional equipment.
and now, the slideshow mike and victoria requested for their baby shower.
can’t wait to meet you, baby-girl! if you’re half as pretty as your mommy and kind as your daddy, they’re going to need bodyguards.
hugs! {{–miss angela and anna}}
