"Abby was everything we were looking for in a photographer: organized, thoughtful, and creative. On our wedding day, she and her assistant photographer brought such good energy, hyping us up and getting through our shots while still giving us plenty of private moments to enjoy with each other! Some of my favorite photos came from her prompts to just look at each other, hold hands, and walk. The photos feel warm and nostalgic already, and perfectly captured our day with our family.We couldn't recommend Abby highly enough as a wedding photographer! Just book her!!!"

"We lucked out in finding Abby! From the very beginning and our very first Zoom call with her, we instantly knew we wanted her to be our Wedding photographer. We asked Abby a ton of questions and she had an answer for everything, including Plans A, B, C, and D in case things didn’t go as planned. She was extremely communicative, transparent, personable, organized, and her incredible work spoke for itself! We loved Abby’s natural approach and warmth in her editing style. Abby was monumental in helping plan our entire 8 hour timeline, starting with our first look, moving over to SF City Hall, and then finishing at our 100 person reception venue.  Her knowledge of City Hall and Weddings played a HUGE part in helping navigate the planning stages of our wedding, resulting in a smooth and stress free day, with 0 hiccups! We would give her ideas and because of her experience she would provide amazing feedback and suggestions, which we gladly took, resulting in the most perfectly timed day imaginable!  Prior to our Wedding, as a couple, we had never done a photo shoot before. The package we went with included an engagement shoot photo session. She made both of us feel at ease and become comfortable in front of the camera, which in turn helped us for our big day! Between the Engagement Session and Wedding Day, Abby was able to have us pose perfectly, without them coming off as cheesy, but also able to capture countless candid photos of us. Both for the Engagement Session and Wedding Day, Abby was able to deliver beautiful and stunning sneak peaks, which both us and our guests were amazed by because of how fast we received them.  If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding or life/family event, we would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Abby to photograph it!"

"We had a fantastic time working with Abby for our engagement photos and our wedding! - She is incredibly organized. We were never worried about anything Abby was in charge of, because we knew she had it covered - She did a great job of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, to the point where we were even having fun (the same goes for her second shooter, Ditto) - She was great at wrangling family members, while also being very considerate and asking before she would make any adjustments of clothes/poses/people - We LOVE our photos. We've already gotten a bunch of compliments on the engagement photos that people have already seen, and we can't wait to share more of our wedding photos. She did a great job of capturing the joy, the emotion, the ridiculous dance moves. We're so grateful to have such wonderful pictures from such a special day, and we're so glad we chose to work with Abby! We'd recommend her in a heartbeat."

"Abby was the perfect photographer for our big day! Not only are the photos absolutely gorgeous, but she guided us through every moment with such warmth and ease. We felt celebrated, supported, and completely comfortable the whole time. Thank you, Abby!"

"It just so happened that our first time working with a professional photographer was on our wedding day(!) and we are ever so lucky to have found Abby to work with. Abby was super sweet and such a delight. We felt very comfortable with her – and she let us be ourselves while still guiding us, so that we didn’t feel too ‘posed’ or stiff, which was absolutely reflected in the photos that she captured. Abby was also super communicative, professional, and quick to deliver our previews and finalized photos. Additionally, we encountered a bit of a snafu with our venue, but Abby was able to think of a workaround, and she was extremely gracious in doing so. We highly recommend Abby as your photographer!"

"Abby is an an absolutely amazing photographer!! Her efficiency and professionalism allowed us to breeze through our wedding day and really enjoy the moment! She let us be ourselves and captured our true natural moments. She was also someone we could rely on throughout the day for help and support, we loved having her there! And having sneak peek photos the next day was so appreciated by us and our guests! Everyone was very impressed with the speed of her turnaround. I could not recommend her enough!"

"We loved working with Abby! Throughout our whole process she was kind, thoughtful, responsive, and really took our vision and inspiration to heart. We always felt comfortable talking to her and even more so in front of the camera. Our engagement shoot was an absolute blast and made us look forward to the wedding! We had a fall wedding and were specifically looking for someone who could execute a photography and editing style that was warmer to compliment the warmth of our color schemes and nature that time of year. Wow did we make the right choice. The comfort in front of the camera, the meticulous planning and timeline assistance and the consideration of our colors and venues really came together in the final product. We remain in awe every time we look at these photos of the joy and beauty that was captured by Abby on our day. 1000 times would recommend, and we can’t wait to work with her again in the future."

"Abby is amazing, knows how to gently but effectively wrangle the group and takes beautiful photos. She's amazing to work with and one of the highlights of our event."

"From the moment we met Abby, she was punctual and organized. She communicated everything clearly, ensuring that all our requests were considered. While Abby took our photos, she made us feel comfortable the entire time. Even during the more formal shots, she knew how to bring out the best in us. We were amazed at how quickly we received our sneak peek! The editing was impeccable, with a perfect balance of natural beauty and enhanced clarity. Overall, Abby exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend booking her if you are looking for someone who can capture your wedding day with elegance, warmth, and expertise. She made our memories last a lifetime!"

"As the Father of the Bride, our daughter's wedding was incredibly important to us and our family. :-) Abby was Fantastic !!! Professional / Organized / Detailed / Confident and Relaxed. She made the entire process of picture taking a perfectly planned process. She is very talented and a personality to match. A huge thank you to her for her dedication and photography services."

"Abby is a magnificent photographer and a joy to work with. My fiance and I spoke to several photographers and picked Abby for our wedding because she was committed to understanding our vision. She was incredibly organized and helped us make sure we would be able to get all the photos that we wanted. And the photos are amazing (and were delivered on time)!!!! They're so much more than just the standard posed pics. I 100% would work with her again."

"Wow… just, wow!! Abby captured our Elopement in San Francisco better than I could ever have imagined. From the very beginning, it was clear she was who we wanted to use and the experience was fantastic. Abby is organized, kind, highly skilled, smart, and FUN!! We started our day very early, and she showed up with a smile and got to work. She captured moments we could never have anticipated and made suggestions we could never have considered. Her knowledge of the city and her craft made every moment perfect. She was also great as an addition to the wedding party!! We genuinely loved having her there and feel like we gained a friend. We would recommend Abby over and over again. You won’t regret it!!!"

"Abby is absolutely phenomenal! While I absolutely LOVE our elopement photos, what stands out to me about Abby is not just her fabulous work product (which speaks for itself).. but how Abby went out of her way to make my partner and I feel incredibly comfortable given how camera shy we are. Few examples of why we absolutely loved having Abby capture our big day1.  Abby knew sf city hall incredibly well and was quick and efficient with helping us get the popular spots. At the same time she was so respectful of all the other couples and photographers there which speaks to her great work ethic! This was balanced by her very calm, easy going persona - she genuinely cares and it comes through with how excited she is to be there. It was like having another friend with us on our big day - a very talented friend at that. ;)2. We hit traffic on the day of our elopement and were deeply apologetic for being late. We also had a much longer than anticipated wait time at the clerk's office. At no point did Abby pressure us about the time for photographs. I think it's so important to be respectful of time and was very worried about the delay - Abby's approach was the perfect balance of professionalism and empathy, which I deeply appreciated. I felt like she put us at the center of our big day through out, and in the end that is a level of care that can be hard to come by when photographers are as good as she is :)"

"Abby and her team are amazing!! We could not have had such a perfect wedding without her! We hired Abby as our wedding photographer and she exceeded expectations on every level. From the beginning she was extremely communicative and prompt in replying to messages and questions... On the wedding day Abby was the star behind the scenes. We arrived late to the venue and Abby managed to get us back on schedule (and actually with time to spare) before the ceremony without sacrificing anything. We even took more photos than planned! And she worked with every other vendor to make sure that there were seamless transitions and that all aspects of the wedding were captured. The most amazing part is that Abby had not been to our venue before. She is such a good photographer that she took perfect photos the first time she was there...Abby provided sneak peek photos the day after our wedding and had the whole package of photos processed so quickly after (only 6 weeks!). The photos are truly amazing and capture the spirit of the day and made everyone look so beautiful. Everyone we show the photos to comments on how amazing a photographer we had. In short, Abby is incredible and you should consider her for all photography needs!"

I had an amazing experience Abby while she captured moments with my husband and our three dogs. The session was not only comfortable but also incredibly fun. We would definitely do photos with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to others. The genuine connection she created translated into beautiful, timeless pictures. Highly recommended!

We happened to come across Abby's work on Instagram and contacted her for a maternity photoshoot. In short she was well organized, very personable, and did great on the communication front which put us at ease. While she directed us for a bunch of photos, she was open to take additional time to accommodate some of the poses that we wanted as well. She went above and beyond the allocated time to ensure we had the photos we needed, and the output really speaks for itself. She provided us a link to download all the very high quality photos. I would gladly recommend her for whatever event you have planned, you can't go wrong with Abby.

We are a family with two young children, 3 and 7 months, and a dog. We thought we were bringing Abby a challenge to photograph us all but it was anything but. She managed to get us still and captured so many lovely family pictures we will cherish forever. Abby is a talented photographer with a great eye for location. We loved the setting of our session. She is warm and friendly and we all felt comfortable with her. Especially our 3YO and dog. She is patient and will help guide/direct you and your family to get the perfect photo. Before our session, Abby was organized and kept well communication. I have already recommended her to friends and family. And hope to work with her again soon. You won’t be disappointed booking with her!

Abby is energetic, warm, and an extremely talented artistic photographer. She has created beautiful, intimate portraits for my family on multiple occasions—her work is breathtaking! Her approachable style and personality makes everything feel so natural. When I work with Abby I feel like I’m taking photos with a friend. She offers light direction for optimal images in an uplifting and compassionate way. We will continue to book with Abby whenever we are in the Bay Area.

I hired Abby to do a branding session for me to help me market my new business. The session went so well that I felt compelled to come on here and write her a review. Abby made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera, which is hard to do, and as a result I got images of myself that I am proud of and excited to showcase! She was very responsive, arrived to the photoshoot early and prepped me with materials ahead of time so I knew what kind of clothing to wear and what I could expect to experience with her and at the location I chose. I highly recommend Abby for any of your photography needs and will absolutely be hiring her in the future for any of my photography needs!

We did a mini session with Abby and it was a great experience! She was so friendly and easy to communicate with, was so sweet to our kids and the photos turned out amazing! We look forward to working with her again. 10/10 would highly recommend!

We were looking for a last minute session for holiday and maternity photos and were so happy with Abby’s work. The process to book was super easy and she replied quickly with guides and tips. On the day of the session, she was communicative and clear about where we were meeting. She was easy going and made us feel comfortable during the session. Moreover the photos are gorgeous and even better than we expected. Overall the whole process was super easy and wonderful. We’re looking forward to working with Abby again soon!

Abby is more than a photographer; she's a memory weaver. The family photos she captured are not just images but slices of our life, radiating warmth and authenticity. Her ability to connect on a personal level made the session relaxed and enjoyable. Each photo tells a story, and we're grateful for the timeless moments she preserved. If you're seeking a photographer who goes beyond the lens to capture the heart of your family, she's the one. Highly recommended.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Abby for our pregnancy photoshoot, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very first consultation to the delivery of the final photos, we have only positive things to say, including Abby's communication with us throughout the process. She not only made us feel comfortable and at ease during the photoshoot, but also displayed a remarkable talent for capturing the most beautiful moments. The images she delivered are excellent, and we absolutely love them :) Also, what we were truly happy with was her dedication to understanding our ideas. She took the time to scope with us the locations, our attire, and was genuinely invested in bringing our ideas to life. Her thoughtful recommendations added an extra layer of creativity to the entire process. We are delighted with the outcome of the photoshoot, look forward to working with her again in the future, and would highly recommend her. Thank you, Abby, for creating memories that we will cherish forever!

We met Abby for a mini portrait session. To put it simply: she is organized, prepared, warm/super personable, and all around very talented. She gave the most clear directions on how to meet her. She was prepared and ready to go, while also never making us feel in a rush. She was so friendly it instantly put us at ease. We were super nervous going in to this. We even called this our *practice* engagement shoot because we thought we would be so awkward! Well... thanks to Abby's professionalism, vision, and all around talent, when we received our album we were shocked that we actually loved ALL of the pictures! She captured the real "us"! The location, the lighting, the prompts and poses, the editing... everything was so perfect. We were able to download all the very high quality photos and are using many for our wedding website! All in all, you will not regret going with this sweet, talented human!!

We worked with Abby for our engagement shoot and WOW did she deliver!! My partner is a little camera shy so all I hoped for was just one good photo, but Abby knew what she was doing. Not only did she help us let loose in front of the camera, she captured our love so beautifully. Her photos brought me to tears and her personalism is unmatched! We cannot wait to work with her again!
