Behind the Lens

ABOUT ANGELA

I'm an eternal optimist who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.

Creative and optimistic Enneagram 9 (or maybe 3!), lover of light, travel, people, and the soft, glowing colors brought to life on film. 

Originally from Austin, Texas, I’ve spent the last decade photographing seniors, families, and wedding celebrations—capturing meaningful milestones with a refined yet down-to-earth approach. After a season living abroad in East Africa with my husband, I’m now based in Southern California, drawing inspiration from light, travel, and the beauty found in everyday moments.

Photographing on both digital and film, I create timeless images with soft, true-to-life tones. My style blends clean composition with a warm, organic feel—resulting in photographs that are both refined and meaningful.

I approach every session with care and intention, creating an experience that feels relaxed, thoughtful, and personal. From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, I’m deeply committed to capturing your story in a way that feels seamless and sincere. For the tangible, intentional preservation of your photographs, I offer heirloom albums, custom archival framing, and gallery wall design—a timeless and refined way to display your favorite moments in your home and enjoy them for years to come.
