Hello, I'm Angelina Merced
I'm a 21 year single mom based in Los Angeles, California. I originally started my business back in August of 2022, right after I had turned 18. I've always had an interest in photography since I was young, I remember when I was 16 and I used to have my sister let me take photos of her on my iPhone haha! Since then, I've definitely advanced my craft and found my individual style! Now I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with all my amazing clients and do this as a career!
Nice to meet ya!

"The experience of getting photos taken by Angie is so amazing. She makes you feel welcomed and very heartwarming. If I needed more photos to be taken of me, I would choose her in a heartbeat! If I could rate the work it would be 1000/10! Thank you so much for taking such amazing photos of my partner and i for our 1-month anniversary!!

"I had the chance to work with this photographer and the experience was amazing from start to finish. She has a natural eye for detail and an incredible ability to capture moments in a way that feels both authentic and artistic. Every photo feels intentional, with beautiful lighting, composition, and emotion. What really stands out is how comfortable she makes people feel during the shoot. She creates a relaxed atmosphere that allows natural expressions and genuine moments to come through, which really shows in the final images. The final photos were beyond what I expected. Sharp beautifully edited, and full of personality. You can tell she truly cares about her craft and the people she photographs. If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, and passionate about photography, I would highly recommend her work."
