I’ve learned I can’t create from survival mode. I have to create from softness. And this session felt like softness.

I’m always looking for the real moment. The moment people forget the camera is there and just love each other the way they always do.

The quiet hand holds. The almost-laugh. The forehead kiss. The way everything slows down for a second. And then their daughter stepping into it all, even taking her own pictures of them. It’s like she understood this love deserves to be kept.

This is why I do this. I’m not chasing perfection. I’m chasing proof. Proof of the love, the softness, the season you’re in. Something you can hold onto 💛

The last time I posted here, I was closing my books and trying to find my footing again. My mental health had taken me to a place where I couldn’t create without breaking. So I stepped away. I rested. I unraveled. I started healing parts of myself I didn’t even realize were begging to be held.

And then one day… I missed the sun on my lens. I missed the stories. I missed the way photography makes me actually feel something in my chest instead of going numb.

Roxanne was my first session back. She’s carrying a baby girl with Turner Syndrome - a little life already teaching everyone around her about strength, softness, and the kind of love that reaches deep. Watching Roxanne hold her belly with so much tenderness reminded me that softness doesn’t disappear. It just waits for us to return to it.

Shooting this felt like touching the earth again after being inside too long. Real, grounding, good for the soul.

I don’t know what my pace will look like from here, but I’m creating again. And that alone feels like a miracle.

Thanks for being here.

Dear my wonderful clients,

With a heavy heart, I am sad to announce that I will be closing my books for all of 2024. It was a tough decision that needed to happen. Not many of you know this but I struggle with severe anxiety and depression + it’s gotten to a point where I need to take a step back. So I am. I’ve been putting off this post for a while because it really is breaking my heart. This isn’t goodbye. Just a see ya later. During my time away, I will be working on myself + also relearning to love photography as a hobby and not a job. I love you all very much + I appreciate the tens of thousands of photographs I have captured for you all thru the years. Please don’t forget that us photographers are human too.

- Abby ❤️

this family always warms my soul. I met Ashtyn at Del Patron 4 years ago + we became friends instantly. She gave birth to her first the same month I started photography. She has graciously allowed me to document her family over the years. Even the most special moments like newborn photographs, maternity, birthdays, and now their first family photographs as a family of 5 🧡

Out of office + town until December 5th for a wedding. I will not be retuning any messages. If you’re waiting for your gallery, it will be delivered when I’m back. Thank you for your patience + I hope everyone has a great weekend ❤️

The Fowler Family has my entire freaking heart. I was blessed to be able to capture Heather’s maternity photos with Benny. I had big shoes to fill as this was a very emotional experience. Prior to Benny, Heather and Owen delivered their beautiful daughter Reagan knowing she had already passed. Watching my friend grieve was so difficult and I couldn’t even begin to imagine her pain and Owen’s pain. Rea showed up for her brothers maternity session and she also showed up for their first family pictures. If you see a rainbow flare, that’s her ❤️✨
