Mom’s work hard and play harder! Loved our morning together with just mom and her boys. As a Florida family photographer, we could not ask for a more perfect morning with this family. We adore how active, playful and fun Lindsay was with her boys. As a teacher, summers with her kids are everything! While […]

“Welcome to our boring life” These are the exact words spoken to me by Traci. I immediately thought of my favorite movie “UP” where the little boy said “It’s the boring stuff I miss the most” Not only do these captured photos reflect anything but boring, but these photos are going to reflect the moments […]

This family holds a very special place in my heart. Like most people, I started into photography because of family moments, births, and weddings. I always had my camera with me through all of those happy times. In 2006, we took the plunge and opened up Angela Tappen Photography. Over the years we studied the […]

“I don’t want to” …. These were the words that I spoke to Danny as we left the house to do our daughter’s traditional birthday beach photos. Handing him the camera, I said  “I don’t want to be in any pictures and I really don’t even feel like taking them”  It was a day that […]
