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!

Declan : Newborn

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Declan. I was a bit nervous because he was two weeks old - at the older end of my preferred age range - but Declan was an absolute dream! Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Graham : 19 Months

I have had the pleasure of photographing sweet, adorable Graham since he was a teeney, tiny newborn. I was thrilled to capture him at the fun age of 1 and a half, even though I saw more of his backside than his front, as I chased him in the Pearl District. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from our session:

Published - Oregon Bride Magazine

I was honored when The Benson Hotel asked to use a recent image of the ballroom in an upcoming ad for Oregon Bride Magazine. I (im)patiently waited for the magazine to hit the stores and was thrilled when I spotted it today at a local store.

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.
