My Neice!!!

2009-05-29T14:44:00.000-07:00

Spent a good part of the day with my neice and my SIL at the park, I don't get to see them much. Daddy's in the Army, with more training at the moment and out of state. My thanks, Bro! Anyways, a complete doll! However, she looks like her daddy, drool and all, LOL! JK J! I know you miss your little lady, and that this cheers you up while you're away. Hope to spend more time with little M, and grab some more soon :)

2009-05-17T06:20:00.001-07:00

A sweet, loving, young couple that are expecting their first baby. They were such a blast to photograph. I wish you all the best! And Meghann you are just absolutely stunning! I can't wait for you to see the rest! Have a safe trip home!

Sisters

2009-04-16T08:59:00.000-07:00

Miss E (the small one) had other things on her mind and wanted to do things her own way, she posed all on her own so I caught her being silly most of the time. But I couldn't resist posting this shot, she sat on my couch and started doing her thing! She has the cutest pouty face ever. PRECIOUS! And I loved Miss S! They are so easy at this age, pretty much do whatever you want with no compaints, LOL! Anyways here is your sneak peek, You girls were great!

A Return to Roots

2009-04-11T12:42:00.000-07:00

Theres nothing like getting away for a while and it was especially nice to go back and visit the place where you're originally from and see family that means so much. I had a great time and hated to leave, but anyways you eventually have to face reality and get on with your normal life. Heres some shots I took on our many travels, we didn't have to go to far, I woke up to similar sites every morning. Washington is absolutely breathtaking, and I cannot wait to go back. Thanks Dad for the great time!

Please Vote!!! Giving Is Awesome...

2009-03-05T16:08:00.000-08:00

Woah! It's been a very long winter. But thankfully it's coming to an end. With that I will finally meet the chosen family for last years Giving is Awesome Campaign. There was no way that I could fit a whole family in my makeshift studio, LOL! So we decided to wait until it became warmer to do their photoshoot. I really look forward to meeting you all!

Giving is Awesome!
Giving is Awesome was founded in December of 2008 which I was thrilled to be a part of. It was a simple premise: photographers give a portrait shoot and products to a family who deserves it, but can't afford it. In the twelve weeks since then, over 530photographers have donated over $550,000 worth of custom portraiture to families who couldn't afford it. Artists in places as far flung as Australia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and Mexico joined in. Giving is Awesome is also featured in this month's issue of Professional Photographer magazine, and we're looking to continue to spread the word about giving.

Lenovo and Microsoft are sponsoring the 'Name Your Dream Assignment' contest, which grants $50,000 to the photographer who wins to shoot whatever/wherever they would like- and this is the project I badly want to support!!!

What better way to spread the word than to load 12 photographers into a tour bus and hit up cities with Giving is Awesome shoots? The blog traffic generated by the tour would easily reach 50,000 photographers per day, thus multiplying the number of photographers who sign on for the 2009 version of Giving is Awesome. (The goal: 15,000 photographers for the 2009 edition.)

...but how would we decide who to shoot for those tour bus Giving is Awesome giveaways? Why, we would rely on our friends at ConKerr Cancer, an international charity, to provide our subjects: children currently living with cancer. We'd be bringing awareness of both utterly smashing organizations to light, spreading the photographic love, AND rockin' a tour bus! Now we're talkin'! What if this project doesn't cost $50,000? Easy! ConKerr Cancer receives the funds to purchase cameras for their chapter coordinators, less the expenses of the tour. This allows the impact of the tour to go much further than the people on the bus, or even the photographers associated with Giving is Awesome. It's the ripple effect in its truest form, giving sparking giving sparking giving.

For more information about the organizations mentioned: http://www.givingisawesome.com/ & http://www.conkerrcancer.org/

DIG IT? GO VOTE! Click that little 'pic' button in the upper left of the assignment details, when you get there. (You'll have to register to do so, but I promise it's worth it! Pretty please, vote?)

Studio Torture for my son!

2009-02-03T12:38:00.000-08:00

Gav isn't feeling all that well today, but he promised he would help me practice, I just thought this one turned out adorable! We only worked for about 15 min, and then I made him some hot cocoa, which I promised to make him when we were done. He then told me "Mommy I love you" Melts my heart that he can still say that after I made him take pics!

Miss T.....

2009-01-19T14:29:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure to do a headshoot of this lovely young girl, she's pursuing her interests in modeling, how fun! I love to watch ANTM, and I could only imagine how exciting it would be to work in this field. Good luck to you Miss T!

2008-12-24T11:36:00.000-08:00

A New Favorite!

2008-12-17T10:55:00.000-08:00

I was going through some of Gavan's photos that I didn't get around to editing. I came across this one and knew that I would be absolutely in love with it! So I'm posting this on my blog for everyone to see. Don't you just love it?!?!!!

2008-12-09T07:43:00.001-08:00

Kristen Kalp of Essential Imagery was the heart founder and organizer of this project. I'm so glad to be a part of this, Thanks Kristen! Wording by Kristen Kalp

You know someone.

You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – a complimentary session, a session album, and a $200 print credit to be exact....it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a complimentary session and $100 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

The nominee must reside in or travel Southeast Michigan, Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

Comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail me the full story: angelahibbert@sbcglobal.net Nominations must be in by Tues, Dec. 23rd, 2008

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve...get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season – and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

2008-11-06T08:51:00.000-08:00

Since my son has been cooperative enough to get some pics of him. We had to take a lot of breaks, go into starbucks,candy stores, and toy stores, but finally got some adorable shots of him. I can't believe how much he's changed in the last year, it breaks my heart! I can see the maturity in him now, in his expressions in the way he talks, oh my, he's growing up.

I VOTED......

2008-11-04T06:55:00.000-08:00

FOR THIS LITTLE GUY!
It's our children's future as much as it's ours. I want to make sure I do my part to help with the growth of this country and to make it safe and secure for my son. And it only took me 10 minutes start to finish!!!!

Coming Soon..... Angela Hibbert Studio!

2008-10-26T06:47:00.001-07:00

I'm very excited to announce that I will be offering studio work in the near future.
As of this time, I'm working on getting it all together, making space, and waiting for the rest of my equipment to come in. I find studio to be absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait to get started. Here is a preview of what you will see.

Sneak Peek for the S family

2008-09-30T16:44:00.000-07:00

The shoot was mainly for Mr. M, but I was able to get a couple of Ms. M and Mr. A as well. To narrow it down, a couple for Mr M and one of them altogether. I couldn't resist to do one of Ms M, she is absolutely gorgeous, and I was able to process this in my favorite style, a little vintage and soul, I love her expression here! It was very nice to meet these kids, some of the most well behaved especially being altogether, I know how it can be, I'm one of 4, but the oldest, so I get my way, LOL! Hope you enjoy these!

Edited to add, Mrs. S, your son looks like Booth, the FBI agent from Bones. The whole time I was taking Mr. M's pics, I kept telling his mom, your son looks like an actor and at the time I couldn't figure out who I was thinking of. Duh! Bones is a must watch for me! LOL! So there you go :)

We are Family.....

2008-09-28T10:36:00.000-07:00

I was given the honor to meeting J's(Greatgrandmother)family today. A stunning array of beauty, talent and brains. And little Mr. J, cracked me up, he would laugh whenever his mommy and auntie would sing this song, you girls will have to tell me the name of the song so I may use it when I photograph another babe. Here's your sneak peek, hope you love them!

I love the way she's looking down at her great grandson

Mr. J laughing at the song

Absolutely Stunning! I couldn't stop staring at this photo

A little Vintage

2008-09-25T18:05:00.000-07:00

I edited this one from my session with Mr. L, it screamed for a vintage touch, I just love little boys with their dogs, seeing them together touches my heart. I get the same feeling when I see my little guy play with our dog. Moments to truely treasure.

How lucky am I ?!??!!

2008-09-20T18:09:00.000-07:00

I get to shoot the cutest kids!!!! Mr. L was such a doll and one of the politest kids I have ever met. His dog Ms. T was such a cutie also, I don't think she barked once even with all the commotion around, it was a nice night and there were people all over out enjoying it. Okay finally heres your sneak peek!

2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
