Hey! I'm Angelo, a 20-year-old photographer & videographer from Santa Rosa, California!

Let's get this story rolling! I have been practicing photography for over 2 years. In high school, I picked up a knock-off Polaroid & began snapping photos throughout the school year. The premise was that these regular moments that were being lived were going to become memorable. (And boy, was I right!)

Looking back at it now, I'm happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone. At the time I was a broke 17-year-old spending hundreds of dollars on film. Time flies by quickly, I learned how Important it is to solidify a moment forever with photography. Now I have an album with hundreds of photos that will last a lifetime of memories that would have been forgotten.

Our brains can only maintain so much information (that's for the best) with that said, not everything is retained through time & that's where photography comes in. It might seem kind of ancient to think of a photoshoot. You may think it's something like a quick school yearbook photo where you're told to smile, and a few photos later it's over. Or maybe you may be thinking, It's a bit serious like a photo at the DMV, where it's a 50/50 chance that you love your photo for the next five years!

Thankfully, it's neither of those! Photography sessions are always fun for the clients & of course for myself, that's why I'm in this line of work (I enjoy it!) It can feel nerve-wrecking to meet up with a photographer you do not know & take photos for a duration of time. I also get nervous before shoots (most of us photographers do!) I get told quite often from clients that they do not know how to pose & that's completely okay! I will pose you, I'll find a location, I can help you find colors that work for the location, all you need to do is show up! I have spent countless hours studying posing, exposure, composition, and everything in between. If you'd like to be more Involved in locations, that's completely okay, I'm here to capture your moment, your photoshoot, whatever your vision is I'll make it happen to the best of my ability!

So what's a photoshoot like? :

Arrival - I’ll be at the location preparing the session, making sure everything is ready for the session

We’ll meet and I’ll ask some questions to see what your vision for the shoot is! (I usually play music on my speaker, Bob Marley sets the vibe!

Before you know it, the ice is broken & the nervousness goes away for both of us & we’re creating amazing photos!

This is the process, & It’s completely normal for every shoot!

Within a few days, you receive the final photos fully edited in a downloadable online gallery & that is the process!

The best time to book a session is now! Photos are great to have! They can be used for photos on the wall, profile pictures, or even Tinder haha
