hi loves!! it’s me, the girl who’s usually behind the camera hyping you up & probably telling you to think about meeting your celebrity crush to make you smile.

today’s post is a little different. it’s more personal than i usually am on this account. 3 years ago, today, i said goodbye to my gpa after his long fight with cancer came to an end. as i hugged him for the last time, i promised myself that i would always follow my heart. here i am, 3 years later, living my dream to be a photographer like he was. he inspired me & i owe it all to him!

it took me about a year to get comfortable enough with my camera to start taking pictures of people but now i couldn’t imagine not doing it!! & while there have been a couple of times in the last 2 years that i’ve taken breaks & stepped back from photography to take care of myself & my mental health, my heart has ALWAYS come back in full swing ready to give it my all! i still have a lot of growth to get where i want to be but i am so proud of how far i have come & can’t wait to see what’s next!

i have met the sweetest people, have captured the most beautiful smiles & genuine love. i have received support more than i ever could’ve imagined. this is my dream. my heart. my passion. i love you all for believing in me & following me along my journey ā¤

this is for gpa! i love you, thank you for this 🄲

HELLO AND WELCOME!!

I just want to start by sharing a little bit about why I started doing photography!

my grandpa did photography for a lot of his life and whenever I would visit him, I would ask to see his camera and would take pictures of everything!! when I wasn’t using his camera, I was taking my mom’s phone and filling up her storage with pictures of the cat, dishes and our backyard.
I got my first camera for Christmas when I was probably 11 or 12. It was this little $25 camera from walmart and it was the worst quality but at that age I didn’t care. once I got to high school I took a photography class and the rest was history.
I started to go out with my dad’s camera and took pictures of anything I could. It was mostly nature but on occasion I could convince my parents to pose for a few minutes. the summer after my junior year I decided I REALLY wanted to invest my time in photography. I got an amazing photography training course and studied those articles/ videos as much as I could!!
I started taking pictures of my friends just for fun and eventually I had classmates and people I didn’t even know reach out to me about taking their photos. since then I have met and taken pictures for SO many amazing people and I feel so blessed for the opportunities I have been given all because of my grandma instilling a love of photography in me!

for those of you who know me and follow my instagram page, you know my photography business has always been called ā€œFreebairn Photographyā€ but in the last couple of months I have been thinking about a new name. I felt that Freebairn Photography was super long and not very personal to me or my photography. when my grandpa passed away a little over 2 years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would continue doing photography. I promised myself I would chase the passion he instilled in me. I wanted to somehow honor him in this new name. SOOO the new name for my photography business is *drum roll*
AAJ Photography!!
Abbey Aj Photography

I played with the idea of doing AJA instead to keep his name first but I love that when I say it out loud ā€œAAJ Photographyā€ I can just say ā€œAJ Photographyā€ (maybe w a longer A sound?) and it is his name. that’s kind of confusing and hard to explain but it makes sense in my head lol

anyways!! this is me and my story, I hope you stay a while and continue on this photography journey with me
