About Us

One Thousand Words Photography is us - Angie and Ashley.  

We met in the very first class on the very first day of art school and bonded over a deep love of photography and pretty dresses.  Years later we're delightfully surprised to realize that we spend our working hours photographing people in love and the people that love them.  We are based in the Seattle area but welcome travel all over the world.  Thanks so much for stopping by our blog!

crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable

Falling In Love is Like Owning a Dog

First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.

Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don’t you ever do that again!

Sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise.
It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.
It pulls you in several different directions at once,
or winds around and around you
until you’re all wound up and can’t move.

But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.

Finn in the crib

We just picked up this great little crib from the 1800’s for the studio and couldn’t wait to photograph a baby in it!  Luckily . . . we keep one lying around.  Check out Finn’s growing good looks.

Happy Father’s Day!!!

This holiday is both tender and bittersweet for me. As many of you know my father passed away Fall 2002 and I still miss him every day. I am very lucky to have a wonderful step-dad and many other amazing men in my life. Even though it has been nearly 8 years, I still find myself choking up at weddings during the father daughter moments. There is something so special about the relationship between a Father and a Daughter. Last Friday we had the honor of photographing Sara and Chris’s wedding. Sara and her Dad were particularly sweet, and we just had to post a few to celebrate this heart-warming Father daughter pair. I hope you all have a wonderful fathers day.

O is for . . .Oh Wow.

So bittersweet when one of the girls outgrows something . . .
