Feature Friday - Photographer Angela Healy of Linabell Photography



Linabell Photography, Saint Michael, Albertville, Rogers, Minnesota Area.

What can I say about Angie from Linabell Photography? Well, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet (plus look how gorgeous she is, right?)!! I have been lucky enough to have her take photos of my kids a few times and have been more than happy with her work. Many many canvases and prints of Ms. Angie's work hang in my home and I LOVE every piece.

<<Beware>>> Cuteness overload with this boy!!!>>Ok, he is mine, but true>Below is a photo of my little guy Kole at his one year photo shoot with Angie!
 More stunning photos and more recent work from Linabell Photography below.
















 What inspires you? I'm inspired daily by so many different things. A forest that I drive by, a card that I see at the store, love, a song that makes me tear up, an outfit or a prop, my kids, other kids and babies in general... all these things and so much more inspire me. Babies and kids with their chubbiness, their smiles, their giddiness, and that they wear their emotions on their face. I love that you know what they're feeling because they show that. I love capturing that real emotion.

What are your favorite props?- My favorite props change all the time because I get sick of things so quickly! Right now I've got this great newborn wood bowl that I've been obsessing over and a vintage stroller I picked up from another photographer. Props I'm always on the hunt for are cool old crates and vintage chairs, especially velvet or tufted... bonus if I find one that is both! smile

What is your favorite part of creating handmade stuff?
- I think handmade anything shows your own style and self, even if it's inspired by something else you saw or found. I am definitely not opposed to buying things already made! Lord knows I don't have the time to scratch the surface of my DIY list, but when I do get the time (or MAKE the time I should say), I love creating something and then photographing with it, whether it's a hat, headband, leggings, or whatever it is I envisioned. I love putting together a styled look and styled session. It is so rewarding when it comes across the way you want it to in the end! It just FEELS good smile

What are your favorite materials?- Favorite materials... Hmmm... I would say my favorite materials are anything organic. I am loving twine and rope and sticks/branches right now; feathers and a little bit of paint... I've got a couple things stirring around in my head I'm anxious to get the time to work on.

Apart from photography and creating things, what do you do?- Apart from photography, I am a mother, a daughter, a child of the Lord, a runner, a dreamer, someone who loves to learn and read and listen to music that speaks to my soul. I do as many things as I can find the time to do! Always a busy body... just never enough hours in the day.

Freckle Face Crafts Custom Logo

I was contacted by the owner of Freckle Face Crafts to do a logo with herself as the icon for her business. She wanted a modern Asian woman with freckles, a glue gun in hand, a New Orleans Saints necklace, oh, and an apron. Wowsa, I was a little bit afraid I wouldn't pull this one off. lol. But this client was such a joy to work with and I am so pleased with it.

Photo above of a wedding tree I designed. You have your guests stamp their fingers and write their names on the stamp. Way better than a guest book right?

For the Love of Yoda

Amy + Yoda = Awesomeness!

https://www.facebook.com/ForTheLoveOfYodaPetPhotography

Yoda is this cute little blind pitbull. Amy is this lovely little lady who is so darn pretty. She also is pretty gosh darn funny. She was ballsy to post these super awesome photos of herself as a young gal. Without her permission I will not post the photo, but I will explain my favorite one to you. The title of her photo on Facebook is "why I can't be famous". Amy is wearing those awesome 80s-90s thick light pink transparent glasses, a bun that sits right on top of her head pretty close to her bangs. The bun is held in place by a gold metal "bun holder" with a pin through it. You can barely see the makings of a glorious polka-dot sweatshirt with all the neon of the rainbow.Then my favorite part about Amy's photo is that she has a smile ear-to-ear with the most crazy amount of pink blush ever. It just cracks me up. That is how cool Amy is. I think we all have a few of these in our past. :) I have one of me from 4th or 5th grade with the huge bangs and a fly was caught a top my hair-spayed bangs. I cut the tops off of  all the wallets to give to my friends.

Here is a picture of Amy and Yoda and the inspiration behind the logo and the branding.

Here is For The Love of Yoda Photography's new logo.


Below is the new business card design.

Thank you Amy for being a rockin person to work with. Can't wait to do many more graphics for you and Yoda in the future. He really is the cutest thing!!! xoxo
