I just completed a photo shoot with Angela, and received the pictures today. Angela's work was simply second to none.
First, you are working with a professional who has shot serious photos for some of the most reputable publications in the world. This experience was immediately evident as we reviewed her photos during the shoot. She captures every subtlety... exposure, pose, expression, composition... and doesn't miss a single detail.
Second, she prepares ahead of time, reviewing the space for the shoot from every angle so that the shoot itself will go smoothly and efficiently. We had no surprises

I just saw the set of photographs Angela Jimenez did for Minnesota Public Radio covering the fourth Annual Father-Daughter Dance,
She is clearly a talented photographer and captured special moments in all the images. Hopefully, MPR and other news organizations will feature her work on an ongoing basis.

Angela photographed our wedding in March 2014. She was a pleasure to work with and fully understood the vision we had and the essence that we hoped to capture. She took the time to get to know my husband and me and really get a feel for who we are and what was important to us about our wedding. Her photography is stunning, particularly the more casual "capture the moment" shots. She is definitely a professional in her interactions with everyone involved and understands the business end of things as much as the artistic side. She kept us informed throughout and made sure that we understood everything

I really wish we could give Angela 10 stars...she was just that good. We found Angela through online research and after our initial conversation with her, we knew we had picked our photographer! Angela was helpful, kind, and responsive throughout the entire process, which was really important since we were planning the wedding from overseas. Angela was a delight to have around during the day of the wedding, joking around with our families and adding to the happiness of the day. We just received the digital files from our wedding and they are nothing short of spectacular! Angela delivered exactly

I worked with Angela for both my wedding and engagement photography and she was wonderful. Our photographer and videographer both cancelled 6 months before our wedding and my fiance and I were really concerned about getting a great photographer that close to our date. Angela came highly recommended by a friend and she was great to work with. She knew we were paying for the whole wedding ourselves and really did her best to give us great prices and still be present during a longer block on the wedding day and she did an amazing job as I (the bride) and others were pulling her in multiple directions

My wife and I discovered Angela after a researching online for photographers in the NYC area. We both decided to legally wed in a JOP ceremony with a few family & friends. We wanted someone to capture a simple, yet meaningful ceremony. Since we were both out-of-towners (Maryland & Virginia) Angela was readily available via phone & video conferencing answering numerous questions and getting a sense of our personalities. Her journalistic skills were something we really admired & respected. Furthermore, Angela is professional and willing to go above and beyond to give you exactly want you want. She

Working with Angela was wonderful! She was great with our 9 month old and very patient with him. She was friendly, easy to work with and set up some beautiful outdoor shots in a new location. We love our photos and were excited to see them so soon after the shoot. We hope to work with her again for future family pictures!

Angela is amazing at what she does, we recently had a family portrait session with her at Minnehaha falls and she made the process feel very natural and comfortable. We had a 9mo. old at the time and Angela was able to adapt to her constantly changing emotional state with ease. We ended up with some fantastic shots that, at the time, I figured wouldn't have stood a chance. I can't recommend her enough.
