hey, I'm ang —
Self-taught photographer, boy mom, ex-labour and delivery nurse and internationally recognized educator in the photography industry.
I didn’t come into this world of photography with fancy training. None, in fact. I taught myself nearly 20 years ago through trial, error, practice, and just using my camera every single day. I went from working 12 hour night shifts as an RN to full-time photographer and educator... and nearly a decade ago this business allowed both my husband and I to quit our careers and have this become our family’s sole income.
WHAT GEAR DO I NEED?
WHATEVER DSLR OR MIRRORLESS CAMERA YOU HAVE. It doesn't matter how old it is!
[And if you don't have one, I have an easy buyers guide to get you going without spending a fortune.... seriously, ANY camera will work]

Don't be discouraged... I was a beginner, too.

Photography doesn’t have to be complicated.
You don’t need a degree, a shelf full of lenses, or a confusing 700-page camera manual...

"Thank you for being the amazing, inspiring, supportive and beautiful soul that you are! You do so much for the community and raise the good vibes. Also, thank you for believing in me and seeing potential that I don't even see in myself sometimes.
I still have a lot to learn and practice to be had, but I know that I'm on the right path."

Guess what...
There is nothing i do, that you can't learn.
While I may have some awards under my belt, collaborations with icons and brands I used to look up to with awe, and recognition across the globe for my photography (sorry, that totally sounds like I'm bragging LOL), I'm only sharing this because I want it to inspire you to believe there is literally nothing stopping you from doing the same.
Or, maybe you just want to learn how to capture your own life more beautifully without the intention of it becoming a business —that's okay too!
