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!

The world's easiest baby...

....and loved beyond belief. Albert's name was chosen in remembrance of his great grandfather and his birthday was a day filled with emotion. His big sister Kaylee had been born at 24 weeks and sadly was not strong enough to stay with us. His birth was celebrated by all who knew of his mom's heart breaking story and I was honored to do his photographs this afternoon.

My absolute favorite from today's session:

13 day old Albert

Albert, by the way, is my second cousin and his great grandfather is my beloved grandfather, Albert Gabriel.

1 year old - Sherwood Children's Photographer

I have been doing little S's pictures since she was just 7 days old. She recently celebrated her first birthday and this past weekend, we ventured outside for some photographs. She is walking (very quickly, may I add) but I managed to keep up and capture a few photographs..

{S}'s 1 year session!

8 Month Old {A} - Sherwood Child Photographer

I met {A}'s family at Stella Olsen Park in Sherwood this weekend for his third session this year. He was all smiles & giggles until I broke out the camera... I love how the bubbles frame him in this image:

Lydia & Alex - Engaged

This is quite possibly my favorite engagement session yet.
The couple - adorable.
The location - beautiful.
The weather - perfect.
Lydia & Alex were so much fun! Seriously. Down for anything. Totally in love. Wonderfully adorable. They were a dream to photograph. I was already looking forward to their upcoming wedding in June, but now I am more excited than ever.
I'm going to post way too many pictures (again) but I just loved this session!
Lydia & Alex, thank you so much for a wonderful, fun morning!

7 day old {C} - Portland Newborn Photographer

Last night, Nataly & Jason came back to the studio with their sweet new baby {C}, who was just 7 days old. You might recognize the parents from their recent maternity session:

Baby {C} is so beautiful and was very good temptered, although when it came to falling alseep, she was a tough one! I know I'm posting a lot, but I just love newborns (how many times do you think I'll say that through out this blog?) and have so much fun during their sessions.

Sweet {B}

I absolutely adore this family. I know I've already said it, but it's so wonderful to get to watch these little ones grow. Recently, I had the pleasaure of photographing sweet little {B} again, who is now 6 months old. I think I've made it pretty obvious that newborns are my favorite subjects to photograph, but if I had to choose my second favorite age, 6-7 months would be it. The babies are sitting, smiley and wonderful to interact with.
Thanks again, {C} and {P} for allowing me to spend an afternoon with your adorable little girl. I always look forward to my sessions with you.

This is sweet {B} at just 7 days old:

We've been doing this pose every session for fun to watch how she grows:

{7 Month Old A - Sneak Peek}

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting little A and his mom L - what a great family they are!! One of my favorite things about the session was how happy A was and how mom laughed almost the entire session. I had so much fun!! I know that little A's mom is very anxious to see her images.. So here is a sneak peek until I can get your entire gallery up (which will be very soon). Thank you again for allowing me to capture your little one's smiles!
