A little bit of what I love | Angela Inram | Photographer
I always try to get to know my clients, find things that ring out their personality or that they may enjoy so that I can relate and personalize my sessions. One day I had a client turn to me and say now it's my turn to quiz you and we both started laughing. Hey I am an open book but here is a few of my favorite things.
Everything about it and all it's faces
Bare-feet so free
The smell, the color favorite season hands down
Timeless
All day, any day
The sound the smell just unreal
The eyes have it all
If only I could have met her
Green so happy
Sun-glass obsession ok maybe scarves to
Gimmy Gimmy
Red Hair Oh Ya!
Travel
High heels every women's secret weapon instant feel sexy
Collect them
All the old guess adds love them one day I will do a whole series around this
Nothing beats the original form of sexy
Yes please
Each and every day Laugh no matter what it lightens everything
So beautiful refreshing and invokes such a feeling of awe and coziness
Yes please
So beautiful refreshing and invokes such a feeling of awe and coziness

Your Job Is Easy........
I always get mixed feelings about the comments people have towards photography and all that I do. I hear all the time, "Your job is so easy", "You must love your job and have so much fun.". I do I love my job and enjoy everything it brings, it is truly a blessing everyday. Like anything it always has it's ups and downs, parts that are less desirable and can be challenging but that is what make it interesting. Is it easy not in the least! But I wouldn't change it for the world!
Yesterday I had a blast shooting a group of girls problem being I am part of this group of girls..... So this makes things a bit harder. With remote in hand and a tripod I can be part of it all, but is it really that simple? Not in the least, when in front of the camera getting your picture taken you can't double check all the elements that go into creating a great photo aka the photographers job.
With my camera in their hand one of the girls shot a couple head shot for me which I truly appreciated. She followed it up by saying "this is easy and so fun!". Now she knows as good as anyone it's not that simple and has appreciation for what I do but yes it can seem that way. Remember I set everything for her, made sure my lights were where they needed to be and double checked my readings....
Now here's the biggest part the part so many don't think about. As a photographer we see everything, we check everything and we learn to pose our clients and alter them to create the best photo. Anyone can take a picture and anyone can take a nearly perfect photo when in auto or when everything is pre set but have you check the background, readjusted your stand point based on the actual client (big one since I am 6 feet with heels and my stand in photographer was 5'7" with heels lol). Are you telling your client what she needs to know, the things that she can't see, are you repositioning her for what will suit her best. All things that we as professionals use to create the perfect image.
All in all the experience always reminds me of what I truly do and what makes me a professional photographer, last night I received the biggest compliment. While preparing to stand in front of the camera with this great group of girls tripod set, remote plugged in, my remote died and in came my boyfriend to the rescue. I set everything double checked the background got the girls in place, hoped in and he hit the shutter. In the end when reviewing pics I started pointing things out things I forgot to check or changed as we shot but being in front I was unable to see what was happening and make the adjustments needed. He tried and truly was such a help but there is no way he could have seen what I seen or known what to do. His final comment to me was, "There is so many factors and so much to do and beware of, you truly need a eye and I can't believe all that you do."
The camera is a tool, the photographer is the artist and we truly are the creator.

Valentines Day
I have always had mixed feelings when it comes to Valentines Day it can be so commercial but I choose to look at it as a day for reflecting on those you love and that love you. I don't believe in all the commercial standards of what you should do or buy (though I do like presents come on lol). I think you should spend it with those you love and do something that reminds you of the joy in loving those around you. I don't understand the point in being sad on Valentines Day, someone some where loves you and you love them, remember that always. And if that's not enough then for Valentines Day love yourself hot bath, new outfit, chocolate treat guilt free (Mmmm maybe I want to be single and just love me lol). When doing gifts and spending time together make it count put thought and meaning behind it, and above all have fun. I hope everyone had a incredible VDay.
For Valentines Day I decided since we both love cooking and being in the kitchen........
Homemade pizzas were the way to go add a glass of wine and some personal gifts and it was a wonderful night followed with some movie and comfy pants time.
This is made with a cauliflower crust crazy so yummy
Homemade mini pecan pies Mmmmmmm
Idea from pinterest had lots of fun making it
Jasper
What a wonderful weekend full of laughs, beautiful scenery, memories and defiantly not enough sleep. It is crazy how some time away from the grind and routine can be so refreshing. It was so hard to not spend the whole weekend clicking away but had to get a few in. Cheryl and Justin's wedding was beautiful and heart warming so jealous to not be shooting it. Had some moments with my dad through out the weekend he would have loved the scenery truly amazing.
The weekend wouldn't have been what it was if it wasn't for the wonderful people I shared it with

Japer Bound
Nothing like getting away for the weekend. Jasper bound to "attend" one of my really good friends weddings will be so strange to be sitting in the pew. This weekend marks the one year anniversary of my dad and I can't think of a better place to be, surrounded by friends, mountains and joyous celebrations. With every sad moment in life u must find the peace and joy in the good. Lots of laughs and memories to fill the weekend. I raise my glass to you dad not a moment you aren't missed and congrats to Cheryl and Justin couldn't be happier for you both. Cheers everyone!!!!
