 "I recently attended a birth photography workshop hosted by Angelia and I cannot recommend it enough. It was such an incredible experience and it completely changed the way I approach birth photography. Angelia was amazing, teaching practical skills like working with natural lighting and navigating the unpredictable moments of birth while also emphasizing the importance of storytelling and connection. The hands-on practice gave me so much confidence, and the sense of community with the other photographers was so inspiring. I left not just as a better photographer, but with a deeper appreciation for the power of capturing such intimate, life-changing moments. Whether you are brand new to taking photos or you’re already an experienced photographer, I would recommend to anyone interested in birth and motherhood photography!!! 10/10"

 "I’m so thankful to Angelia and Bending Willow for hosting the Birth Photography Workshop. I loved getting to connect with other women in the birth community. I’m so thankful as well for the mamas who were generous enough to donate their time and energy for us to practice shooting with. The hands on experience left me feeling so much more prepared to step into births with my camera. I left the workshop with tons more confidence in how to use my camera, what different setting bring to a photo and how to use Lightroom to edit and bring out the best in my photos!"

 "Angelia’s birth photography workshop was so lovely. It was so special gathering with fellow birth workers who were ready to take their photography skills to the next level. We sat on floor cushions and were provided snacks and drinks as she handed out notebooks; along with a cheat sheet for us to reference as we learned about our camera settings. She provided space for us to ask questions and then she went around the room to help us individually with our unique cameras. She had a power point set up which I found to be really thorough and showed how thoughtful and intentional she was about creating this class. She even brought in models for us to photograph which felt so elevated! One was a postpartum mama with her baby, and one was pregnant. I learned so much and it gave me the confidence to continue my own journey as a birth photographer. I highly recommend her class!"
