I get it. I’ve struggled with feeling awkward in front of the camera, too. So, for my clients, I do everything to make your experience different.

The key? I make your confidence a #1 priority.

Here's how:

My goal is to get to know you better before we work together. This way, we create an environment where you’re totally comfortable in front of the camera. And once we’ve connected, I tailor our time to you! Maybe that looks like having a small wedding with just your family one day and doing an adventure session the next. Or maybe it’s doing private vows, just the two of you, and having dinner with your closest friends and family in the evening. Maybe it’s a small backyard wedding or an elopement with just your immediate families in a national park because you value spending time outdoors and adventuring together. Whatever that looks like for you – I’m in!

LET'S CAPTURE YOUR STORY, BEAUTIFULLY

You deserve to hold onto your memories. Especially with the people you love the most. From your proposal, to your engagements, to your wedding day, and everything in between and beyond. If you’re ready to take the leap, and if you believe we’d be the perfect fit – reach out and let’s capture your story.

THE ONE CAPTURING YOUR MOMENTS

My mission is to help people hold onto their memories. I've never had the best memory when it comes to remembering experiences, so photos have been my way to do that. Times goes by so quickly and it's easy to get caught up in to-do lists or all the little details so I help people slow down, break out of that chaotic bubble and focus on the people they love most and making the most of the time that they have together. When I say I photograph joy and peace, I focus on how their eyes light up when they look at their favorite person. I want to help people experience joy and peace. My purpose is to give them photos that reflect that so they can look back on them, amidst the chaos of life, and remember the things that matter.

"HER PHOTOS ARE BEAUTTIFUL AND EXHIBIT THE LOVE AND CARE  SHE PUTS INTO HER EDITING"

"Abby is a wonderful photographer. Her photos are beautiful and exhibit the love and care she puts into her editing. I’ve been impressed with the time she puts into scouting out locations as well as the props she brings to keep little ones interested in the process. She has taken my family’s photos for our Christmas cards the last two years as well as shot my son’s first birthday party for us. She’s also done some photos of our extended family that involved multiple families with small children. Abby is fantastic working with small children and incredibly patient. She makes photo shoots fun. She’s also professional and returns your photos to you in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her services!"

SHE WAS WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH AND TOOK SUCH GREAT CARE OF US DURING THE WEDDING. NO BETTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER OUT THERE!

My husband and I hired Abby to do our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out amazing! She was wonderful to work with and took such great care of us during the wedding. She braved a really windy day at the beach during our engagement photos, but the photos still turned out beautifully. No better wedding photographer out there than Abby Mae Photo!
