My Story

How Angel Studio Began

I started shooting photography when my personal photo shoots (as an actor living in LA) just were not working like they should have! It was so frustrating! Shoots of mine just didn't produce strong end results and I wasn't getting the momentum from my photos that I desired! I didn't get those amazing shots that helped further my film career much, and the shots were mostly mediocre, although I always expected them to turn out fabulous! And later, 2 headshot shoots were downright HORRIBLE! It was almost comical! I turned my frustration into my passion of making sure this didn't happen to others! I began to analyze what had gone so wrong-- and what went right when one look out of 8 during a shoot got me some audition momentum! Still, I was frustrated because I still needed more looks. Over 12 shoots later, and I eventually started shooting! I am thankful I went through that all because my frustration turned into my passion to learn how to help clients get amazing shots. I used alot of my reflection of what went into bad shoots and good shoots that helped to produce better results, and I put my love into learning photography. I am so blessed now to have a business I love where I get to use my creative gifts to help others get amazing photos that help them chase their dreams!

A great shoot starts with a Great Plan
 

 

With my experience on both sides of the camera, I HAVE FOUND A KEY TO GREAT SHOOTS AND PHOTOS IS HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE! I believe this is a necessary ingredient to getting great photos! You see, I am also an actor and in the past I experienced some NOT GREAT PHOTOSHOOT RESULTS, before I began shooting photography. This essentially led me to shooting photography, and the discovery that you normally can’t just show up to meet a photographer with no shoot plan and a ton of random wardrobe, hop in front of their camera, and hope the photographer will just “get you and shoot you in the way you want.” Truthfully, It takes a good chat and time to plan in order to make sure you are both on the same page, and to generate some wonderful ideas to best market you and show your personality, to shop for the right looks, etc! This is where I really come in to help simplify it all for you. I’ll handle this all for you and ask you the right questions. We just need to hop on a call and I’ll ask you some questions to help me plan this out for you. 

My goal is to help clients to get amazing shots and provide photo-sessions that help create even more dream work for my clients!
