"What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."
-Karl Lagerfeld
Hey there, I’m Archangel!
Originally hailing from the quaint island of Ocracoke, North Carolina, I relocated to Virginia in 2007, where I crossed paths with my husband, who has profoundly influenced my photographic endeavors. Since 2009, we have embarked on a fulfilling journey together, celebrating nearly a decade of marriage. Our family comprises our handsome son, Kai, who is five years old, our spirited daughter, Alba, who is two, and our adorable furry companions.
During my 15-year tenure as a waitress at Brickhouse Diner, my husband gifted me a Nikon D 3300 camera, igniting a passion within me for photography. Encouraged by friends and family, I embarked on a self-taught journey, delving into books, watching YouTube tutorials, and seeking guidance from acquaintances. Today, I am proud to share my expertise with you.
I derive immense joy from witnessing my personal growth and am confident that word-of-mouth referrals are the most effective means of reaching potential clients. As an individual who cherishes fun and spontaneity, I firmly believe that genuine enjoyment is the cornerstone of a successful photography session. My ultimate goal is to create lasting memories for your loved ones, capturing their essence and emotions through my lens.
I am particularly drawn to capturing candid moments and natural smiles, as they convey the true essence of family and relationships. While I may occasionally incorporate posed shots, I prioritize engaging in playful activities and posing questions to ensure that your friends and family will cherish the memories they create during our sessions.
I sincerely hope that you have found this introduction to my work enjoyable. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with you and your loved ones, providing them with exceptional photography services through my Nikon Z7 II.
