Angela Hughes - M.Photogr.Cr
Hi! I'm Angela, - chatty, quirky, young at heart. I'm obsessed with travel, new locations, fashion, anything vintage, art and design. I was born and raised in the grande city of Houston, Texas. I graduated high school with no direction and stumbled through my twenties trying different creative outlets. I traveled, explored, and lived in NYC, Sarasota,Fl., and San Diego, Ca.
I was in theater, studied interior design, graphic design, and journalism. I was a bartender, a wedding coordinator, and flea market flip junkie before it became a trend. It wasn't until the birth of my daughter in 2001 and I picked up a camera with an entirely new purpose that I finally knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. My life began to have purpose and meaning the moment I learned that I was going to be a mother. It is through those eyes that I discovered my passion for photography. It's been a journey with a few bumps and bruises along the way, but everyone of those bumps that came along led me to where I am today.
Artistic Photography is more than business to me... This is a relationship. My clients often become my friends. I share my stories and I love to know yours. We spend time together, we create together, and if I'm really lucky I get to share in all the important moments. Birth. Love. Graduation.... It's just all part of it.
I have my Master of Photography degree through Professional Photographers of America and am currently working towards my Master Artist Degree and Craftsman Degree . I speak and judge image competition for PPA affiliate organizations throughout the country. Through continuing my education, participating in print competition, and volunteering my time with professional organizations, I continue to stay true to my craft and better my skill. It is these things that make Artistic Photography what it is today.
