I'm Abbygayle! My main titles are wife, mama, and auntie. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Samuel, who I have been with for seven years. We had our first baby, Isla Mae, in November 2023 and she is the absolute light of our lives. We also have two crazy Golden Retrievers and one big bad German Shepherd who keep us on our toes daily. My husband is a huge part of my photography journey: not only has he supported me through all of the ups and downs of learning the trade, but he has also took it upon himself to dive in and interpret some of the skills himself. Sam often joins me on my sessions and shoots right with me, and to me, that is one of the sweetest things I get to do - work with and alongside the love of my life.

I have always been drawn to the art of photography. When I was younger, I remember playing with an original Polaroid camera that I found in my mom's closet, and I was just in awe of the way a moment could be captured and fixed in time forever. The way the old Polaroid films were able to transport me through multiple generations of memories was so magical and truly inspired my love for photography. That nostalgia and warmth I get from looking through old photo albums is exactly what I work to instill in the images I produce.
