My name is Angela and I'm the artist behind the images of Angela Smith Photography. I'm a wife, mother of two young children, and lover of all things photography.

I am located in Sherwood, Oregon and service the greater Portland Metro area. While I enjoy photographing subjects of all kinds, I have found that my passion lies in capturing life's most treasured moments - the miracle of a newborn, the confidence of a high school senior, a young couple in love, and a bride's tears of joy on her wedding day.

I want to thank you for visiting my blog. Please kick your feet up, grab a cup of coffee, and share my passion with me!

10 month old {S}

Today, I photographed 10 month old {S}. This is the third time I've had the pleasure of photographing her - she is so sweet and such a beauty. She is on the verge of walking & kept me on my toes today...

Three day old {L}

So, yesterday I ventured to my best friend's house to get some beautiful images for her of her 3 day old baby.. Little did I know it would end up being one of my worst shoots ever. Poor little {L} only wanted to be held by his mother & nurse.. Anytime we tried to do anything with him, he cried.. The best shot from our 4 hour session:

Logan was born today!

My best friend surprised me by calling me at 2:15 this morning to let me know that her water had broke & she was headed to the hospital. I left my house at 8:15 this morning thinking I had plenty of time.. I got there at 9:20 and sweet, perfect Logan was born at 9:38AM. Her labor progressed too quickly, so there was no time for an epidural, and she was a champ. She & her husband made a beautiful team and I couldn't be more proud of her.

Newborn {C} - 2 weeks old

Man, this little guy gave me a run for my money!! Upon his arrival, I was told by his parents that he had been awake for about 3 hours. What a relief! I should have no trouble getting him to sleep...or so I thought.. 3 hours of shooting and we could really only get him to doze off in mom or dad's arms, and I use the term "doze" lightly. This family was a joy to work with and I can't wait for them to see their images. Here are a couple of my favorites from the session:

Just my two...

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. In addition to some homemade gifts by my children, I thought she'd love a new picture of the two of them. Since it's just my kids, I figured I'd step outside of the box & use a different background... My fav from the session (and yes, I am pretty sure she never checks my blog):

He's getting so big!

My mom came for a visit today and surprised me by bringing my sister in law and my nephew Koldyn. He's 3 months old now and getting so big. So, of course, we had to do a photoshoot!! Here are a few I pulled off (I couldn't wait).

I adore him!

Last week, I got to photograph sweet little {E} for the third time. He is almost 10 months old and, I swear, gets more adorable every time I see him! I came across this one in my processing and just had to share. He is SO cute!

{6/52} - Pancakes for dinner!

My husband had to work late tonight, so I decided to do something fun with the kids for dinner and make candy-cakes. I told the kids to do whatever for the camera. Here is what they gave me:

Newborn {A} - Sneak Peek!

Wow, it was been way too long since I've photographed a newborn. Way too long. I was thrilled when I received an email a couple days ago about photographing sweet little A. I know her parents, aunt and granparents are all anxious to see the images, so here are a few to hold you over until I get them processed. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with you and your family!

Quite possibly my favorite from the session:
