In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

I offer a variety of high-quality products from luxury albums to canvas wraps to foil-pressed cards to handmade image boxes. We have something special for you to display your images around your home! I have state of the art software where we can upload a picture of the wall on which you might want your pictures displayed and you will be able to see exactly what the finished product will look like. I also customize albums if that is how you prefer to celebrate this season of life. I love helping clients get their pictures OUT of the cloud and into their homes where the memories can be treasured and shared with future generations.

My goal is simple: I want your session to be as fun and stress-free as possible! That’s why when you choose to book a session appointment, I will be there every step of the way to answer all of your questions and provide you with information and planning so that you feel ready and prepared for your session! There will be a planning consultation with me either over the phone, in person, or by email (whichever YOU prefer).
This is when we will discuss the different packages as well as location options.
I will ask you questions so that I can really understand the vision you have for your final portraits and then I can bring it to life! We will choose a date, and I will email you the proposal and contract in your very own client portal.

my philosophy
When searching on line for a photographer, my daughter, who has an eye for the fine arts picked Angie because her photographs had greater interest, using lighting and posing. We are so PLEASED with the outcome. We scheduled a Senior session with Angie, and when the weather threatened for that day, Angie completely flexed and we met the day before at a place I suggested. The photographs were amazing. I used Angie again two years later for my son's senior session, this time at Strasburg Railroad to reflect my son's hobby. AMAZING experience. Angie is everything you want in a photographer, professional, artistic, flexible, accommodating, and quick to respond. The photographs are displayed in my house and I highly recommend her.

Angie!!! Thank you so much! Our photos are amazing! We can’t stop looking at them--you were able to capture our family so beautifully, despite our cute subjects behavior. I was so stressed, and wanted everything to be just perfect! Well…you captured PERFECT! We gave you a difficult task with crabby little people and feared it was a lost cause. You really came through with beautiful shots. I am so thankful for all your preliminary work in scouting out the best location that still had flowers, and your present of goldfish were so well received from your young clients. You are patient and kind and we cannot wait to work with you again – you have a gift!

We love Angie Garthwaite Photography! We hired Angie for a spring session in her home and also an outdoor session for our daughter’s first birthday. Angie was extremely patient with our three young children. Our daughter was on the go the entire time and Angie chased after her snapping some of the most amazing action shots. After we received our pictures we realized that some of our favorite pictures were taken without us even knowing. Angie has a such a creative eye! Thank you Angie for helping us capture these special moments in time. We look forward to our next session!
