I Heart Faces/ Hands....

Oh how I LOVE this challenge! This one took a lot of time narrowing down to my final choice as I had A TON! But this is the one I chose and it is a picture of my sister (aka BEST FRIEND) and her husband right before she gave birth to her first child, her BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Her husband was a great support the whole labor and delivery. I was blessed to be able to witness their love for each other and their extreme love of their brand new beautiful soon coming baby girl! She was delivered about 30+ min after this photo was taken! Happy, healthy and full of her momma's amazing spirit!!! I LOVE MY NIECE and am glad to be able to enter this photo for all to see!

To CORA with LOVE!

LOVE AUNTIE ANGIE!

I heart Faces/ WHITE

I heart faces' new contest was for the theme "White"! Two things come to mind when I think of white: SNOW and WEDDING DRESSES! I have great pictures of my son in the snow, but for some reason I am way more drawn to enter this photo instead!

So here is my entry, the beautiful bride in her white dress, SO in love with the man standing behind her, ready to spend the rest of her life with him, to be his wife! I have looked at weddings in such a new light after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart back in 2007, and second to having a child, it is one of life's greatest moments!!

Rock the shot challenge~ Silhouettes

Here is my entry for the Rock the Shot challenge!!! This is my husbands cousin/best friend and he got married in Maui and I was able to be the one to capture their special day! The bride was VERY adamant about getting sunset photos and am I glad that she did because it gave us this beautiful shot! To see more great entries head over to www.rocktheshotforum.com!

I heart Faces/ Friendship

Here is my entry for the www.iheartfaces.com weekly photo challenge! The theme was Friendship and I believe there is NO bigger bond and friendship than there is between sisters! Here are a couple little dolls that I photographed last week! They are so sweet and here is the cutest example of the oldest making sure everything is alright with her little sister! SO SWEET! Head over to www.iheartfaces.com to see all the entries!!!!!

"A Vintage Summer" MINI SESSIONS!!!

"A VINTAGE SUMMER" MINI SESSIONS ARE ON FOR AUGUST 26th and 27th!!!

Alright!!! It has been a little while since I have last done a mini session! Actually the holiday mini's last December was the last one! I LOVE doing mini's, but the time has just escaped me this year! BUT NOT ANY MORE!

This summer I had the opportunity to go to an amazing Antique show in Spokane and I was able to pick up a bunch of fun props including vintage suitcases, camera's, farm crates, vintage milk carafe's, jewelry, handmade pin wheels, old vintage childrens desk, chairs, and more! I am truly excited to put them to good use! So I came up with "a Vintage Summer" mini sessions!

They will be at a perfect location in the Puyallup/Tacoma area *(once you book I will send you directions). They will run every 20 mins and we will snap as many photos in that time frame as we can where you will then pick 4 images to put on a disc where you can print, email, upload as you please. If you just cannot narrow it down to 4 there will be package upgrades available to mini participants!

To book: Please email me at angiearmsphotography@gmail.com or call me at 206-940-6735 and if I am unable to answer please leave a brief message with a good phone number to call you back at AND THE TIME SLOT YOU WANT (i will update this blog with times that have been taken so check below before emailing or calling)! ONCE YOUR TIME SLOT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED I WILL SEND YOU A PAYPAL REQUEST FOR FULL PAYMENT (NOTE: you do not have to be a paypal member to pay this method)
THANKS AND I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE!!!

P.S. No other discounts apply with this mini session, HOWEVER, if you are a returning client there is a special gift for you with your package valued at $20! Looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as many new ones too! ALSO: Incase of HEAVY Rain-not sprinkling rain (fingers crossed and lots of prayers they wont) we will have a make up session scheduled for the following weekend, same times!
