Angie is the best. She had so much patience with my daughter who just wouldn't sit still! All of her pics are gorgeous. Always. She has a real talent and an excellent taste - I adore all her props and the outfits. I will definitely be back for more!

I have been using Angie for a little over 3 years now and can not say enough about her! Her work is beautiful. She is accommodating, easy to work with and simply amazing! She has so many back drops, props and outfits, it is so much fun to choose! She is responsive to every request, appointment and question. She has photographed my newborn, first birthdays, holidays and group family photos, all successfully and beautifully (and professionally).  You won't be disappointed!

Loved my experience with Bella Marie Photography ! Angie was an ANGEL. The photos came out beautiful. They were exactly what I wanted and more. Angie has so backdrop and outfit choices; one cuter then the next. Angie was very accommodating when my daughter had a meltdown. She was understanding and even allowed us to come back to get another backdrop in. I highly recommend and will be back again.
