It's that time of year: it's time to start thinking about senior photos! I am looking for seniors to represent Angela Nelson Photography at the following high schools: Kekaulike, Maui High, Lahaina Luna, Kihei Charter, Seabury Hall, and St. Anthony.

Please contact me if you are interested! Mahalo!

If you know any seniors, please pass it on!

Baby Cora at 4 weeks

Well, three and half weeks to be completely exact. Tomorrow, proud parents Allison and Dan celebrate Cora's one month milestone with her baptism. I'm really sad that I can't go, but I was so pleased that I was able to spend time with the both of them at their home in Fowler.

I have known Allie for many years; though we were not friends for all of them. We became closer toward the end of high school and ended up sharing a duplex in Lansing when I was student teaching in Howell and she was finishing up her master's degree at MSU. It was there that Allie met Dan and, knowing he was a teacher, I immediately went to stalk him on ratemyteachers.com to make sure he was a good guy. Turns out that there was no dirt on Mr. O; the kids loved him. And as it turned out, my friend loved him as well. They were engaged within a year, then married the next, and low and behold, one year later they were expecting this bundle of joy.

Cora is probably the strongest new born I have ever spent time with. When Allie told me that within a couple days of her birth she was already able to lift her head, I was skeptical. But after holding her several times, I knew she wasn't exaggerating. She's already a strong and beautiful girl!


What a doll. Congratulations to Dan and Allie and little Cora on her upcoming baptism. Wish I could be there, but Hawaii is calling me home...

David at 9 Months

It has been nearly 10 years since I have been out of high school. This wasn't something that I was incredibly aware of until last year when IT happened; IT being where my friends start having babies. I see many of my friends on Facebook having children, but it is different when it is someone you have known for so long.

I met Steve, the father of this adorable little guy, when I was a mere 14 years old. That's a long time ago, folks. I met Becky, the mother, when Anthony and I had just started dating in 2006. Anthony, my husband, and Steve have been friends for a long time (dating all the way back to when silk shirts and sweatpants were in style--wait...were those ever in style?). We saw them get married in 2010, then there was the pregnancy announcement, then the birth, and we finally got to meet David in December of 2011. My how he has changed...





"Really? Another picture? I know I'm cute, but geez lady"


Even the dog got in on the action
Where he could only hold his head up and flail about in December, he is now full on scooting around and army-crawling all over the house. It is only a matter of time before this little man starts walking! Needless to say, I loved this little man from the moment I laid eyes on him. Not only is he totally adorable, but he has quite the personality!

It won't be soon enough until I see this little buggah again. Thanks Steve and Becky for letting me go camera crazy with your son! I can't wait to see what he looks like when I see him again!
