The Photographer
Hey, I'm Abigail
I am a traveling wedding photographer. I have been in business for 12+ years! I was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains. Photographing life's greatest moments is my passion. I am also a mom and wife. I have a sweet little boy named Jude and a little girl named Chloe. My husband Britton and I have been married for 10 years! But we were high school sweethearts and have been together 14 years. We love spending time at the lake paddle boarding, wake boarding, hiking, and fishing. We are determined to show our kids all that life has to offer through nature and love. Starting summer of 2025 we will be living in Phoenix, Arizona. But I still shoot over half my weddings at home in Springfield, Missouri. So I am available in both locations. We love the opportunity to see our family and get some lake time in.

Testimonials
As a bride I knew from the beginning that photography was one of my top priorities for our wedding. As soon as I saw Abigail's work I knew that her style was what I had envisioned for our photos. Then, within minutes of meeting her I knew we had to book her for our day. Abigail is such a kind, witty, down to earth person and she does amazing work with a camera! She made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed and you can really tell that she loves what she does. Our pictures turned out so amazing!"
Where do I begin! Abigail was the best of the best, truly. We had her photograph our afternoon wedding at the end of August. It was over 100 degrees but the heat index was like 146. But that didn’t stop her from jumping on and off of that shuttle and taking us to her favorite spots on Big Cedar’s property! Also, a worry for some people is the lighting and how well the photos will turn out if you’re in broad daylight — Abigail takes on this challenge with ease and professionalism. The photos we received are
Abby is hands down the best photographer in SWMO- probably all of Missouri. When you shoot with her, she makes you feel empowered, beautiful, confident, and safe! Posing for pictures never felt more natural. Besides the fact she is a fabulous photographer and she has the most gorgeous style/vibe/colors EVER, she is truly a delightful human. She is fun, quirky, cool, and warm. She is a gem. Abby is an unbelievably talented photographer, but she is so much more. Pick her for all your photography needs!
If you need pictures taken, you want Abigail . It's not just her skill but the person she is. With Abigail, you get an experience you won't forget. My fiancé and I had engagement photos with her, and I have never looked as beautiful as she made me . We got so many compliments and our friends booked her too. We are super grateful to know her!
Abigail is a true professional, combined with the comforts of a friend, and motivator. She is a cheerleader through life events, and captures raw emotion, feelings, and moments in her frames. She has encouraged me, and made me feel beautiful in ways I didn’t know could be so visual! I also recommend her prompt scheduling, quick turnaround, and overall variety and selection.
Being a photographer myself I was overly picky with finding a perfect match to capture our engagement. When I ran my vision by Abigail she was super enthusiastic about making it happen, I instantly knew I had the right girl. Our engagement session felt like an adventure all in itself, from climbing a grassy knoll to jumping in the lake we felt comfortable & very natural with the posing. Abigail made it enjoyable & even my fiancé (who isn’t the biggest fan of getting photos) raves on the experience. & going
Abigail is a one of a kind photographer . If you have an idea, she is ready to execute and make that photo dream come true. I can't wait to work with her in the future.
Abigail is the absolute best!! She made my entire experience so much better. I told her my vision and she helped me with locations and outfits & they could not have been more perfect. She is so sweet. She knows how to make you comfortable especially if you’re shy like me. I couldn’t of had a better photographer or experience. Her photos are absolutely beautiful!
Abigail is the most easy going person, and truly makes your experience comfortable. She is constantly telling you how beautiful/handsome you are and brings so much confidence to the shoots. We absolutly love her and cherish each picture she has taken. The quality service/photos speaks for itself.
Every little detail of our day would be long gone memories by now if it weren't for the work of Abigail. Not only is she an incredibly sweet, witty, funny human being, she's absolutely amazing with a camera. You won't ever for a second regret having her capture your event.
Abigail photographed our wedding day and I honestly don’t know how she could have done a better job than what she did. We are in love with our pictures and now a month later we still find ourselves going through them over and over again. They are artistic and exactly our style, but she also captured the feelings in moments and that is priceless. We both highly recommend Abigail!
I hired Abigail to photograph my wedding and let me tell you it was a good choice! She is super easy going and great to work with! My pictures were amazing and anything I requested she made sure it was taken care of! She was also very reasonably priced for the quality of photos that you get!
