All About Angela

* Why you love photography?

“The rush of capturing the image that takes away the mother’s breath, or makes a daddy cry is indescribable! Having the honor of creating portraits absolutely thrills my heart! There is just nothing like KNOWing you got THE SHOT, and it is an heirloom that will be cherished for generations. Photography is timeless, and having the opportunity to give that gift to whomever is in front of my lens is one of my greatest pleasures in this lifetime!”

* Your favorite type of photography?

“People, People,People….I LOVE SHOOTING PEOPLE…..(with my camera, of ‘course ”

A funny or interesting photography story?

“One of the most hilarious stories was early on in my career, when I decided to gain some experience and called the world renowned Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Looking to be an assistant photographer…I first talked with the social photographer (’cause I love people , he did not need any help. I then called the horse photographer ( ’cause after all I did have a horse when I was 8 years old…how hard could it be?), he did not need any help either. My last option was the livestock photographer, he was desperate for help! But never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be in an arena with a 2000 pound animal trying to get their ears to point in the right direction!!!! All I can say is, I did learn the difference between a heifer, bull & steer and how to aim, focus and shoot faster than you can dance the Texas two-step!”

* Photography tips or tricks?

“Always be prepared with a bribe when photographing children!”

* Comments about your web site design?

“What a fabulous combination SmugMug and JR Customization are together! They complement each other to create the ideal team for a photographer. They allow photographers to focus on what they do best, and they help us to stay on top of our game in this ever changing profession of which we are privileged to be apart. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have them both in my corner to allow my work to be showcased in the best light!”
