—HELLO—

MEET ABBY

 I’M Abby

Lover of jesus, cats, and anything pink

Thank you for being here! I can honestly say that photography is my calling. I look forward to meeting my clients at every session and learning their story so that I can tell a beautiful part of it. I love Jesus with all of my heart and hope to always spread joy and be a light for Him. I put my whole heart into building this business and into capturing life's beauty for such amazing couples (new mamas, and families too)! I owe all of the glory to God. Because of him, I am able to do what I love. I am so thankful to be a part of so many stories, and to have found my passion at such a young age.

I adore documenting love stories and telling stories in big and little ways. At your session, I want you to feel at home. At home with your lover, laughing, dancing, and snuggling up together. I want to capture it all. Stolen kisses, belly laughs, and in-the-moment memories are what I strive for. His hand on your cheek, your fingers intertwined, messy hair in the wind as he sweeps you into his arms. Let me hang with ya and photograph your carefree, beautiful, one of a kind love. These photos will remind you why you fell for each other in the first place. I want to evoke emotion; to freeze a moment in time so that if you wanted to, you could live in that moment forever.

What am i doing when i am not working?

Probably holding a cat. Or writing. Or jamming to some good music.

I am just a gal living in the midwest with my sweet husband, Derek. We dated all through high school and always knew we would get married. We’ve now been married for six years, going on seven! Fun fact: we planned our wedding in five days. That’s right. Five. Derek left for Marine Corps bootcamp right after high school and while he was on his 10-day leave, we decided to get married, because, why wait? Because of this special day, I’m a big advocate for sweet, intimate weddings that aren’t all about the wedding itself, but the marriage it is meant to celebrate.

Photography is only one of the many arts I enjoy. Reading, writing, styling outfits, painting…really ANYTHING creative fuels my soul. Most days you can find me cozied up with my 2 cats (Just have to add in that I am a crazy cat lady and am a literal magnet for stray cats. I have rescued so many over the years.) and my dogs, Ollie and Sadie, editing away with some good music playing. I also love to listen to instrumentals, Bon Iver, and anything you’d probably find weird. I’m talking banjo, Irish fiddle music, yodeling, cinematic movie soundtracks, old country that your grandpa probably listens to...you name it, I probably know the words. One of my latest obsessions are audio books about fantasy worlds with just a little bit of romance. This is the genre I like to read AND write! FUN FACT: I am publishing my first book summer of 2024!

One of my favorite Bible verses:

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
