Check out this SITE called NEXT that my friend Kari told me about! It’s got amazing kids clothes from the UK and you only have to pay $5 shipping! Just make sure you are clicked on the American Flag at the bottom of the site to order! I have 18 things in my cart, is that bad? I should be cleaning or packing, nah.

Well Hello cute family!

Thursday, July 29, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

Seriously I LOVE these people. Well, I didn’t really know all of them until the shoot but I LOVe them now! They were all so happy and fun to work with. It is such a challenge shooting a large group and trying to be creative and posing eveyone… not to mention to just everyone looking at you without blinking..!!! BUT… This family was up for anything… can you tell?

On a side note. I am moving tomorrow to Sugarhouse! Can’t wait to have my house magically unpacked and sparkling.
More Christmas cards in a few days!

Pay close attention to the running ones… grandpa cracks me up and poor crying Milo in the background:(

Awesome, Angie. And their clothes are so great!

Brittany StoverJuly 29, 2010 - 4:45 am

Holy Friggin’ cow! That must have been fun…whew! That’s exhausting just thinkin’ about it, but once again you did your magic!

BrookeJuly 29, 2010 - 4:48 am

that grandpa is seriously funny. it adds even more to have the kids falling and crying in it too! haha. that made me laugh out loud!

Amanda ContrerasJuly 29, 2010 - 4:58 am

WOW! These are awesome! I love how they are all dressed do fun and colorful! These are not your typical family photos!

Heather MannJuly 29, 2010 - 4:59 am

um…that is the most stylish extended family i have ever seen. just beautiful and so fun and lively! great work.

denise olsonJuly 29, 2010 - 5:04 am

LOVE THE POSING!!!!!!! I could have used this inspiration a month ago. GREAT GREAT job! I have to ask….which lens did you use?

anj.July 29, 2010 - 5:04 am

Biggest biggest biggest smile across my face right now!
Angie they are magic! L.O.V.E.

AriaJuly 29, 2010 - 5:09 am

This has to be my favorite extended family shoots I’ve seen. You did an amazing job with the variety of poses, getting them to be natural and playful, the location is gorgeous, and their clothing is beautiful! You need to write a post with tips on big family reunion shoots.

laneJuly 29, 2010 - 5:15 am

ok that is seriously the cutest large family shoot i have ever ever seen! I adore this! Stying, everything. Just darling!

simplicity photographyJuly 29, 2010 - 5:17 am

85mm, 50mm, and my 17-35 for the running shots

Ryan ToweJuly 29, 2010 - 5:25 am

Honestly, a huge family portrait like that is my nightmare. But seeing you pull it off so amazingly is extremely inspiring. So awesome!!! And having such a fun family never hurts!

KristyJuly 29, 2010 - 5:37 am

These are amazing!!! And so glad you pointed out grandpa–hilarious!

Marie GrossJuly 29, 2010 - 9:15 am

Wow. You make it look EASY. And I’m having a really hard time not feeling extremely jealousy of your mad skills.

stephanieJuly 29, 2010 - 10:58 am

Family sessions are probably the hardest in my opinion and you nailed it. Getting them to run brings out such natural expressions and giddyness! Love.

melissa hansmaJuly 29, 2010 - 12:30 pm

wow….they are alll sooooooooo Trendy:)

Kathy Marciante PhotographyJuly 29, 2010 - 12:40 pm

Awesome family shot!! You’re such an inspiration. You make it look so easy:) Great job!

Jordan EaksJuly 29, 2010 - 1:06 pm

Wow, it looks like they are having a blast!! I bet you had so much fun yourself photographing them!

Stephanie WindJuly 29, 2010 - 1:51 pm

These are fun-tastic!!!

ElyseJuly 29, 2010 - 2:46 pm

These are so great! How did you get them all to dress so fun and coordinated?? Did you guide them, or did they just have the fashion sense themselves??

KristiJuly 29, 2010 - 2:49 pm

well hello fabulous dressers!!! Not sure what guidance you gave them, but wow, did they ever nail the dress code! Fabulous images, Angie. Just spectacular

simplicity photographyJuly 29, 2010 - 2:50 pm

They actually are some of my most stylish clients, they were born with good looks and fashion sense:) I just showed up!

Tira JJuly 30, 2010 - 4:08 pm

Wow! Hello absolutely gorgeous and fun family! Great images Angie!

Taylor & Amanda- Seniors… 2011

Monday, July 26, 2010 Posted in Seniors

This session (I should say 2-day session) was so much fun! My friends Jael & Lisa flew in from Texas and California to get some great pics of Jael’s daughter and friend for their senior photos. We shot for 2 days and found some amazing spots that I have never used before! I wasn’t feeling so hot but I still am on a high from it. Jael literally brought an entire store of clothing and props with her!!! Lots of planning on her part but they turned out so fun! Love you girls!

My kids loved all of you and all the candy you gave them:)

This shot was inspired by the great Elizabeth Messina

OH. MY. WORD. It does not get any cooler or more gorgeous than these shots. I’m wavering between feeling inspired and like I need to throw in the towel because I don’t know that I’ll ever take anything that good. GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS!!!

simplicity photographyJuly 26, 2010 - 1:40 am

stephanieJuly 26, 2010 - 11:30 am

I knew it the minute I saw the crown! It’s identical to the one Elizabeth uses–who incidentally was in my dream last night. So random! Anyway, these are so beautiful! Can you ask her where she got that crown?

StacyJuly 26, 2010 - 12:06 pm

Happy 4th Birthday rugrats.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 Posted in Children, Personal

Chloe and Tate are officially 4 years old today. Wow. really? I was thinking about it today and our lives have changed so much since they were born. I feel like I owe so much of my photography success to these little ones. They motivated me to quit my full time job and just do what I love and be home with them. Children motivate in so many different ways and for that I am thankful. I love you two more than the world and I am so glad that I get to be your mommy. Most days are filled with chaos, whining, crying, messes, and so forth but in the midst of all of that is such a beautiful thing, love.

They gave me 10 minutes… and I cherished them.
How are they SO big!

Note: Chloe is 2 inches taller than Tate and 8 lbs heavier.. No one ever asks anymore if they are twins.. kinda funny.

This one is my favorite of the night… captures their personalities so perfectly!

These are the most well dressed kids in the world. If you don’t mind I am going to have to steal some tips from you for Logan. I just LOVE the way you dress Tate! (Chloe too of course). These are just breathtaking. You are so inspirational with your unique sessions.
