after many months of kicking the idea back & forth, angie warren | etsy has arrived! thanks to a few amazing & encouraging friends, i’ve pieced together some of the beauty i see in the every day – for you. i hope you enjoy it over there, happy monday!
- Congratulations!
- Congrats, Angie! There are some GORGEOUS prints over there... I am having a hard time resisting! :)
- Very nice! This is something I've tossed around doing too. Love the umbrella shot.
- Gorgeous!
- Congrats Angie!! Love it! :)
- They are beautiful ang! I've been wanting to do something like this as well, so I think it's awesome you've stepped out and done it! I might know someone who will want some of those :)
- Congratulations Angie!! Your work is as stunning as ever :)
- Yay, I'm so glad you did it! There are some gorgeous prints on there, congrats! I already see a few I might need, now to narrow it down. I have a folder of my own ready and waiting to make the plunge.
- Thank you! They are so lovely!
i have traveled internationally, and visited nearly every state here in america – yet one of my favorite places to visit happens to be just around the corner. napa. i could spend days there, weeks really. i’ve stayed in gorgeous b&bs, attended weddings, and christmas parties there – but i’ve yet to photograph it. this needed to be remedied. so over the weekend jessica galeazzi, stephanie morgan and i ventured out there… starbucks in hand of course. we had a blast, got incredibly wet, and enjoyed a delish picnic lunch. we laughed and exchanged ideas, sloshed through fields and took in the beauty. can’t wait for our next g.t.g.
some of my fave images, i wanted to share.
where is one of your fave places to photograph?
- Gorgeous my friend. It looks like a wonderful day!
- Lovely Angie. Wonder what you'd do with sloshy white snow here in the Midwest!
- I love the color. Beautiful!
- Beautiful and breathtaking images! You are so talented and creative. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
- love seeing your take on these! i had so much fun, can't wait to do it again. although, my shoes are still drying out from the flower fields...
- what a beautiful place. i have been searching for a new cool place in my area with no luck.
- I had sooo much fun! Can\'t wait to do it again. Love, love your images as always. Still working on mine!
- So beautiful! Sad I missed out, but looking forward to joining you next time!
- I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! These are stunning!
- gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous. thanks for sharing. love napa. have spent many many weekends there (lived in seattle for a while and my guy lived in san fran ~ napa became our "getaway" on almost a monthly basis). v.sattui is one of our faves. hope marta makes it there with her workshop. how fun will that be for you all?!
- How gorgeous! You are so lucky to have such beautiful landscape nearby :). And such great friends to share it with!
- Sooo stunning! Love Napa too, one of the main reasons I love Cali!
- Oh Angie - these are breathtaking. I love them. Do you have an etsy shop? :)
- Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
The Silva Family from angie warren on Vimeo.
do you remember this sweet boy from our session last month? i’ve done a few giving back sessions over the last two years, and they become more than clients to me – they become apart of me. i find myself checking in on them, praying for them, thinking of them often. i check their care pages, facebook updates, and exchange emails and phone calls with their parents. liam is no different. yesterday a man donated bone marrow, selflessly and without question, to give this darling boy a second chance at a well-deserved life. tonight the process begins and the silva family covets every prayer. the road ahead is long, but the miracle in today is huge. if you’d like to keep up with liam and family, friend them on facebook by clicking here.
xoxo sweet liam!
- Many, many of my prayers will be with this family. I will have my daughter say an extra prayer as well.
- Ang- you are truely an Angel :) Mr. Liam... well wishes are truely not enough for you or your family :) Kick some yucky stuff booty on this journey of yours! Can't wait to see more pictures of you!
- Prayers for Liam and his family!!! Hope this blessing gives them peace in their heart!
- absolutely gorgeous angie. love the music it's set too. what a precious little guy...and family.
- My prayers and thoughts are with Liam and his family! I pray that this blessing is powerful and healing. Stay strong and proud Liam!!
- Giving all I have in prayer to this sweet little boy! God will be with you every step of the way. Go Liam!

i received an invitation this week asking me to be apart of an incredible event that ultimately helps relief efforts in haiti. i was honored and moved, and couldn’t wait to share with you all. the images they chose of mine are dear to my heart, i wish so badly i could be there in person to take in the amazing celebration of motherhood with these fabulous women. if you’re able to i’d encourage you to go.
according to the mom 2.0 exhibit website:
The Mom 2.0: Defining a Movement exhibit will go on display in Houston February 5 and continue until February 20. The Summit will feature a Friday night private viewing event for conference attendees, at which a silent auction for the art pieces will be held to raise money for earthquake recovery efforts in Haiti. Be sure to register for the conference now so you don’t miss out on Friday, when we will all be gathered to celebrate the creations of those that have led the way and toast to the next chapter in the movement.
- what an honor! love their choices. congrats. :)

this is me, sitting where i so often sit, doing what i so often do. out of no where a few weeks ago i came upon the photo above that my five-year-old had taken of me. he’s a boy after my own heart, documenting the every day life around him. this image however really struck a cord. i look at it and see a stressed out, hard working, mama of two. my body language, facial expression – it tells the tale of someone who is just plain tired. what my danny saw was his mom, doing what she often does during a typical day, and in taking that photo he showed me something painful, but necessary.
i think sometimes it takes simply seeing a photo from the other side, for me to realize something so important… as i sit at my mac proofing photos, networking, doing back-end work for my other blog – my family sits nearby, and time continues to pass. my husband works, plays with our kids, watches tv. the boys build blocks and play star wars, we have dinner and we run errands, we go to the gym. am i being present for them like i should? am i keeping them priority in this day and age where we can’t go anywhere without being readily available, whether it is via iphone, facebook, email, twitter?
i can’t answer that honestly and with pride. this image brings me back. it haunts me really, and in posting it along with what’s on my heart, i hope it serves as a reminder. i don’t want my kids to grow up remembering mom sitting just like this. i want them to have wonderful memories of a mom not only blogged about them, but lived and loved and made them feel like they could do anything they wanted.
so it is with this photo that i embrace our new routine, work harder at keeping my work hours just that, and smile warmly at my messy-haired, hungry little boys as they awaken in the morning. don’t worry, i’m not going anywhere. just aiming for a new image from the other side. i’ll share soon : )
- Yep. That's me too. You couldn't have worded it any better! Working hard on being present with my family.
- i understand completely...it is so easy to get caught up in work and let the world go on around you! i have been struggling with this very thing recently. of course you put it more eloquently than i ever could
- I can relate to where you are at now, as I was there about 1 month ago. I vowed to myself and to my children then, that I would NOT do any proofing, email checking, blogging, etc. until they are fast asleep at night. My photo shoots are now going to take place during the week, I will reserve 1 weekend a month for shoots but the remaining weekends will be my kids, my family time. So far, 1 month in I have held to it...and I will continue to do so. It's difficult and hard running our own business but I'm not going to be the one that looks back on things 10 years from now and see that I missed out on my kids growing up. Yes, I want a successful business, yes I want to be happy with my photography but NONE of that is worth sacrificing my children for. I hope you are able to find your middle ground and will be happy. ((hugs))
- Today actually just a few moments ago I posted about balance... finding it. This post hit home. You are so right and believe you aren't the only one fighting this too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. xo
- you are not alone my friend, you are not alone.
- thanks ladies. i am finding that i'm not alone in this struggle and that is comforting. here's to a better today! :) xoxo
- wow, this hits hard! thank you for posting this angie, i see myself in that picture and know now that this is exactly what my son see's as well. i have followed you for quit some time now and this is my first time commenting, you are extremely talented and someone i look up to as a beginner photographer. thank you for posting this, i too am going to be very conscious of my work hours and my family time, life it too short!!!!!! :-)
- What a beautiful and insightful post. I need to change a lot of the way I do things. I'm struggling with what to do to change it. It's an endless process of reevaluation. Cost vs result. It's never as simple as it should be. In your mind you say it's an easy choice. Kids 100% over anything else right? But it's not always possible and that makes you feel guilty. Part of the reason I love this job is becasue I am my own boss. Still, sometimes, I wish I had a boss and set hours and I could leave my work at work. It's a trade off. You can never have it exactly how you think you want it. Getting close is as much as we can hope for.
- hi angie, i've been following your blog for a short while but this is my first time commenting. just wanted to say that i can so relate to this post and it's definitely something that i know i need to work on as well.
- That was beautifully written. I definitely identify with every word you wrote. Thank you for sharing something so deep and personal.
