MaKayla Senior 2012

2011-09-30T13:29:00.000-07:00

If this doesn't prove that fall is THEE best time to shoot outdoors, then I don't know what does. MaKayla was such a great model to photograph, and the slight chill in the air was perfect to shoot in. Remember to get those family and children sessions booked now!

Vintage Posh Sessions Model Shoot

2011-08-30T18:08:00.000-07:00

I knew right away these ladies would be my inspiration for the Vintage Posh Sessions. They had the perfect look! What a fun night we had, and they couldn't better convey the style and art I want to offer all of you during the month of September. Fall is such a special time, and what better way to capture the essence of it all by booking your very own Vintage Posh Session:)

Olivia Senior 2012

2011-08-02T10:12:00.001-07:00

Beautiful day....beautiful senior. Enough said.

Cameo + Lydia

2011-07-27T10:50:00.000-07:00

Cameo is quite possibly the cutest pregnant woman I have ever seen. I graduated from high school with Cameo, back in the old Win-E-Mac days, so it was great to catch up and play with her daughter Lydia. Thanks so much Cameo for coming all the way to see me:) Hope these photos are exactly what you were looking for...

Charlie and Bennett

2011-07-06T14:45:00.000-07:00

I have been photographing Charlie since he was a few days old, and I always enjoy when he comes back to see me. He always has really funny things to tell me, like today when he exclaimed, "I'm a big boy Angela"! His brother Bennett was also photographed for his 9 month photos, and is already standing and crawling everywhere!

Dennis & Jen

2011-06-29T15:36:00.000-07:00

Enjoy these fun summer engagement images featuring my dear friend, Dennis, and his beautiful fiancee Jen:)

Hellerud/Phillips

2011-06-20T10:49:00.000-07:00

I met both Beth and Shane as a volunteer coach for Special Olympics. They were married over the weekend on the campus of Concordia. I enjoyed meeting all of the great individuals in their wedding party (especially 'beard' and 'mini beard':) I wish B and S many happy years together!

Roed/Krogstad Wedding

2011-06-14T09:52:00.000-07:00

Josh and Katie were married on the shore of Sugar Lake over the weekend. I grew up with Josh, and he is a life long friend to my brother Jason. It was a pleasure to capture his wedding day, and his new bride Katie is a delight to photograph. I chose my favorite images to share with you all:) (and of course had to throw one in of Josh, my sister and I) Enjoy!

Livia 1 year

2011-06-02T11:10:00.000-07:00

A perfect start to the summer sessions. Livia had so many fun facial expressions, she kept me laughing the entire session. Zoolander fans beware! This girl has the perfect 'blue steel' :) Click on image to magnify.

Another VERY windy day downtown! Collin Taylor is back at Bob 95 and was in need of some new photos. We had a really great time, and Collin is quite the talent! Welcome back to BOB Collin!

Alli 2011 Senior

2010-07-01T12:01:00.000-07:00

The 2011 senior season was off to a windy start yesterday! Alli was a rockstar at using this to her advantage:) There were so many great photos from her session, I had to include a few more than usual on this blog. SO much fun, especially with my favorite gal Kaitlyn tagging along for a couple photos!

Charlie

2010-06-27T11:19:00.001-07:00

Charlie! Voted best hair by ab images.....hands down! Charlie has been coming to the studio since he was a newborn, and today marked his 2nd year photos. Now that Charlie is welcoming a little baby brother in October, he will have to give tips on sporting a cool 'do!

Mikkel 9 month

2010-06-24T12:36:00.000-07:00

One of my fav little guys! He has a big charm about him, and he's only been on this earth for 9 months! Had a beautiful night at the park, and he even modeled his swim trunks for me!

Baby Boy Levi

2010-06-13T19:32:00.000-07:00

Levi "the flirt" returned today for his nine month photos. His mom came prepared with lots of cool things for him to wear. Levi's parents are the kind of people you want to be around. They are excellent parents, and have a great appreciation for Levi. I have no doubts that they cherish EVERY single moment in his life. And by the way, cute baby + a tiny fabric tie= heart-warming photos!

Aaron: you can rock an inside-out shirt like no other:)

My GORGEOUS friend Liz

2010-05-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

Presenting to you, all the way from Arizona, the Evenson Family! My dear friend Liz is back in Fargo this week, and just in time to celebrate my birthday! They had time out of their busy schedule to come to the studio and hang out! Their son Chase was very interested in the baby ducks in the pond, and was very frustrated when they wouldn't come out to play:)

Another ROCK STAR is born!

2010-05-18T14:39:00.000-07:00

Addison! One of my favorite little people stopped by the studio this week to celebrate her 3rd birthday. We made sure to get some rockstar photos in downtown Fargo. As the shoot started, I didn't say a word, but Addison went into pure star mode and started pulling out all the moves. I was laughing so hard, but was still able to capture a few of her excellent ROCK poses. Way to go Addison!

Rock 102 Downtown Shoot

2010-05-15T23:29:00.000-07:00

Once again, the Rock 102 gang did not disappoint me! They make my job VERY easy! I have to apologize for getting them into trouble with the federal building employees. I guess it is not okay to photograph anyone sitting on or near a government property. Who knew? The guard said the camera man had been watching us and wondered what the heck we were doing. I would like to say we kept it appropriate, but I'd be lying!

Mia- Senior Model

2010-05-11T23:20:00.000-07:00

Mother's Day. Random street people. The longest hair I've ever seen. Three things I can now associate with my new favorite person, Mia Lopez. Mia is a soon-to-be senior at Fargo North and a GREAT model! She was the perfect end to my weekend full of shoots. Mia was up for anything and she didn't utter one complaint when a random admirer coughed all over her! Thank you to Mia and her awesome mom for providing me with a session full of hilarity!

Lillie and Emersen

2010-05-10T10:16:00.000-07:00

The two best behaved kids I have ever met. Their mom always warns me that they may tear up my studio, but they have always been perfect little ladies. We tried to get outside for a muddy puddle session, but excessive rain in the F-M area put a damper on that. We still had fun, with or without the rain, and I think these photos prove it:)

Dalton goes the distance!

2010-05-04T13:02:00.000-07:00

Dalton gets the prize for the most miles traveled for a photo session! He and his parents came all the way from Owatonna, MN for Dalton's one year session. He was not so impressed with me at first, so I kept my voice very soft and quiet. (for those that know me, this is a hard feat!) After about 20 minutes, Dalton still didn't think I was too great. I turned around, looked right at him, and growled as loud as I could. He stared for a moment, then burst into laughter. If anyone happened to pass the studio throughout the next hour, they could hear me continually growling and barking. Hey, whatever works! Thanks Marty and Heather for a great afternoon!

Thomas' First Birthday!

2010-04-22T13:49:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Jody for bringing in the cute tie and of course Thomas. His two big sisters were helping him smile the entire session. I could definitely use them around here:)

Top Ten Wedding Photos 2009

Top Ten Wedding Photos 2009

2010-01-15T13:19:00.000-08:00

In the midst of my busiest wedding month, at least for bookings, I thought I would reflect a bit on the last year. I was very honored to be a part of some unique and memorable weddings. It is a rare career that enables you to grace the happiest moments in a person's life, and I don't take the responsibility lightly. My only wish is that the brides from 2009 can look back on their wedding day with a clear, positive memory.

As I pack my bags for my first wedding of the year (in California!), I prepare for a 2010 to remember:)

January Special

2009-12-16T14:28:00.001-08:00

The first special of the year! Winter Wonderland sounded like a fitting name. Self-explanatory too! Perfect for all you ski bunnies, snowmobile families, and anyone who likes frigid temperatures. Your session will be in various locations around the F-M Area or in your own backyard if you prefer:) Session fee plus a 5x7 for only $75. So grab those hand-warmers and join me for a day in the great outdoors! Call Angela @ 701.388.2687 to discuss your session.

Roger Maris Celebrity Event

2009-08-13T12:54:00.000-07:00

My oh my! I have not 'blogged' in quite some time.

ab images had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the Roger Maris Celebrity Fundraiser Event right here in Fargo! The day started with a silent and live auction and press events. Later in the evening I attended the pre-party and was front and center (camera in tow) for the red carpet event. I got to view the movie, "61", in the great company of Billy Crystal, Bob Costas, Barry Pepper, and the Maris family.

After the show, the celebrities and committee members were taken to the Silver Moon for an invite only party. What a great time! Thanks to everyone who purchased photos from the event (all proceeds go to the Roger Maris Foundation). Images are still online for viewing. Just call 701.388.2687 for details.

Kaitlyn

2009-05-12T07:31:00.000-07:00

a gymnast you say? and a great smile? and the BEST personality? yea that pretty much sums up Kaitlyn. They don't get any better than her! she walked in the studio beaming with excitement, and it certainly came thru in these photos (my favs by the way)

Flood 2009

2009-03-28T22:32:00.001-07:00

So I finally went out and took some much needed photographs of the mighty Flood of 2009. I guess the river crested yesterday, but could go up again. These photos are taken at the Main Ave. Bridge between Fargo/Moorhead.

The Thompson Family

2009-01-15T13:33:00.000-08:00

Such great people!! Another one of the December shoots. And not to mention Izzy's 9 month shoot!

The Stroup Family

2009-01-15T13:19:00.001-08:00

The Holiday Season was a busy one! The Stroup family were some of the firsts during my crazy December shoots. I had so much fun with the girls! We had to test out the yellow wall!

Katie

2008-10-13T10:23:00.000-07:00

Oh Katie! You are a true delight! I don't think I should be having so much fun at 'work'! If she's this crazy indoors, I can only imagine the shenanigans at her outdoor session:)

Nicole & Jordyn

2008-08-18T13:20:00.000-07:00

Twins! Need I say more. After a few blunders on incorrect names, I could see a definite difference between these two ladies. The best part of the day was when they eagerly agreed to model for my 'trash the formal' session!

Siri

2008-08-07T09:17:00.000-07:00

Another great senior! Siri was in my Sunday School kindergarten class way back when, and she proceeded to inform me that she was in the first grade when I graduated from high school.....thanks Siri! It was a great day, and a nice nostalgic visit from the past.

Mitch

2008-08-07T09:10:00.001-07:00

Oh Mitch. What a guy! He made quite the impression on me! He brought his entire family with him, and boy did we have fun! His dad especially enjoyed getting him to laugh (besides being a great reflector holder).

Brook: Senior '09

2008-07-02T11:01:00.000-07:00

Brook was my first senior of the season. 2009 Seniors are underway! What an exciting time of year! The day was gorgeous here in Fargo, and Brook was a great model! She impressed me with her Coach handbag collection. She was a great start to the June sessions!

2008-06-25T13:55:00.000-07:00

my very first entry

2008-06-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

Oh WOW! This is quite exciting. Blogging I mean. For those of you who are viewing this right now, please check back often to see what I am up to and also what the studio is up to. I will be posting photos from sessions, venting about life perhaps, and just adding little tidbits about me. After all, it's all about me! Ok, not really, but the header on this blog speaks otherwise. So, I decided the first photo I put on here would be from the photoshoot I had with my brothers children. I was visiting them at there Becker funny farm, and we used some natural window light to capture some amazing images (and some funny ones too). My oldest nieces, Lily and Paige, especially enjoyed hamming it up for auntie. They know what I do, and are very interested in learning more about taking "pictures". Enjoy!
