Angela Carson
Angela Carson has been creating fine portraiture, with a specialized clientele of families and children, for over twenty years. Angela's award-winning images reveal her creative style blended with her special "human touch." Toss in a seemingly limitless energy level, adoration for children, and her contagious personality and it's easy to discover why Angela's clients keep coming back.
Angela began photographing weddings 25 years ago, while learning portrait photography in her "spare time." At the ripe old age of 25, Angela's opened her first studio. It was small, but it was a start. Within the first year of opening her studio, Angela's client base went from predominantly photographing weddings to almost exclusively photographing children. Angela quickly realized a natural tie in with children's photography is family portraiture. In the past few years Angela has also become a seasoned High School Senior Photographer as many of her past clients have children that are growing up and graduating high school.
Angela’s studio is in Northville, Michigan. Her studio is located in a 110-year-old Victorian home in downtown Northville. Angela photographs 125 custom portrait sessions of families, children and high school seniors, annually. Her innovative and unique portrait styles have made Angela Carson Photography a leading studio specializing in custom designed wall portraiture in the Detroit metropolitan area.
Angela is a frequent lecturer to numerous professional photographic organizations, including The Professional Photographers of America National Conventions; PPA’s Marketing and Management Conventions, The Chicks that Click Conference, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International conventions, and numerous State and local PPA affiliates. She has had numerous photographs and articles published in The Rangefinder and The Professional Photographer magazines. Angela has also had several photographs selected for inclusion in the Professional Photographers of America's prestigious traveling Loan Collection.
