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!

Six Week Old Ella : Newborn

Lovely Ella came into my studio at the age of six weeks old. Any regular reader of my blog knows that I have a very strong preference for photographing newborns as early as possible - ideally between 4-10 days. The older babies can be much more difficult to get to sleep and pose, and Ella's father had warned me that Ella tended to be a bit fussy. You can imagine my surprise when Ella was a complete angel (although awake) for most of the session.

Omni : 1 Year Old

What can I say about Omni? I adore this child! He is another one that I have been lucky enough to photograph since birth, and one thing has stayed constant through out his first year. Omni is a child of many faces.

I absolutely adore all of the different expressions he gives me during our time together.

Sophie : 2 Years Old

Sweet, sweet Sophie.

Sophie is probably one of the best behaved two year olds I have photographed to date. Not only did she tolerate three outfit changes and three location changes, she did it with grace. And that infectious smile.

My favorite part about Sophie's session was her adorable pink cowboy boots. I think her favorite part was waving to the cars passing by.

Graham : 1 Year Old!

You might recognize Graham from his 9 month session I photographed not too long ago.

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Graham and his family for his 1 year photo shoot. Unfortunately, Graham was getting his first tooth in and was less than thrilled to have some crazy lady with a camera in his face. We took our time, played lots of chase, and managed to get some great photos of Mr. Adorable.

And I think this is Graham's way of telling me the photo shoot is over. :)

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Graham and his family (I have been photographing him since birth). It is such a blessing to be welcomed into the lives of others and to be asked to document such a special time. xoxo

Kelsey & Travis : Engaged!

I'm a bit behind on blogging (surprise, surprise!) but I wanted to make sure this session made it to the blog. I have been so blessed to work with some of the sweetest and most amazing couples, and Kelsey & Travis definitely do not disappoint. They started out as friends and are so incredibly sweet together. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in August.
