When I'm not photographing love stories and family milestones, you'll find me hiking trails with my husband and our three pups, planning our next adventure, or dreaming up the perfect mountaintop session (coffee in hand, of course!).

"Abby did a couples session with us and we were so impressed that we asked her to do our wedding and I can say we have no regrets! She was so amazing!! Not only did she capture our day perfectly but she put in so much effort to get every photo we asked for. We are so happy with everything she has done and will definitely continue to use her for all our photo needs in the future."

"Abby is an amazing photographer and puts in the work to give you extraordinary photos."

Abby took the time to get to know us and understand the vision we had for our photos and when wedding day came, you could see just how much consideration and attention she gave. Abby gave me my fairytale pictures and took extra measures to ensure I loved them as much as she did.
