Based in Toronto, Angela specializes in portrait photography for clients like The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and The Globe & Mail.

Her personal work explores memory, grief, and the dynamics of family. Angela’s series "Places We’ve Never Been," featuring older women in natural settings, explores grief and loss inspired by memories of her late grandmother. This series gained recognition by being featured in the Spring 2023 issue of The Walrus, and in a solo exhibition at Gallery 44 in May 2024 during the Contact Photography Festival in Toronto.

Angela co-founded the photography collective SOFIA from 2014-2018, empowering women to create and discuss personal work. SOFIA exhibited in Toronto and internationally, and initiated a year-long mentorship program for emerging women photographers, volunteering their time. Angela is currently mentoring her 8th mentee since her involvement with SOFIA, continuing to support aspiring photographers.
