About Me
A few extraordinary things transform a good family photographer into a great one.
It’s not a studio full of state of the art camera equipment. Although that’s a whole lot of fun!
It’s not an extensive range of albums, prints, canvases and digital products. But I have these on offer too.
Nor is it countless years of experience, being an accredited member of Australia’s Institute of Professional Photography, or knowing their craft so well they teach others how to master it too.
But I can’t deny that’s all so important.
Hi, I’m Angela. I’m the smiling face behind the camera at Belle Images, a mum to three beautiful children, and wife to a very patient (and somewhat lucky) husband. I’m a Toowoomba family photographer and I love nothing more than kicking up my heels and clicking off frames with the wonderful kids, families and couples I meet each day. So, what is it that makes a great family photographer? My passion to be just that is driven by everything I believe, nurtured by all I love, and demonstrated by each image I create.
I BELIEVE happiness radiates from the inside. That at least once in your life you should laugh till you’re red in the face, out of breath and your tummy hurts! I believe heirloom pieces should adorn the walls of our home and enjoyed across generations. I believe in the lost art of handwritten notes, exceptional customer service, and beautiful print presentation.
I LOVE seeing parent’s faces light up when they catch sight of their children’s portraits for the first time. I love hearing mum or dad declare “you’ve captured exactly who they are.” I love light; sweet morning light; dreamy afternoon light; light when it’s just right and dances like magic within a picture. I love marveling at the fact no single moment can be recreated, but it can be captured with the click of a button.
I CREATE vibrant family and children’s portraits. I create fun and carefree and photography sessions so my clients can relax, laugh and reconnect. I create heirlooms for future generations to treasure, and digital products that can be enjoyed between families stretched across the globe. I create unforgettable experiences that begin with a phone call or email to my studio and continue long after I personally deliver my client’s finished artwork.
The things that take a photographer for good to great, also turn a good photograph into a remarkable one. Step into the picture – and bring the people you love with you.

Angela is very relaxed and put my children at ease. It showed in the photographs how comfortable they were with her. She made the whole experience fun and recommended a lovely location. We will return to her for future photos. The final product was beautifully presented.
