capturing the joy and beauty of family
Milwaukee Family Photographer
Photographing my own kids is what inspired me to become a family photographer, and why I'm so passionate about capturing your family as well!
As a mom of 4, I can understand that the days can be tiring. But at the end of the day, these kids around you and your family is the reason why you work so hard. Being a mom is one of the greatest joys in life. I want to show every detail of your kiddos in your final gallery. The way they hug you, their GENUINE smiles, and all the details between. You wont get only photos that show smiling faces, but ones that show how your family interacts and that capture true emotion. Lets capture exactly how your family is right now!
Your life is beautiful, and it's worth documenting
Whether your family session takes place at your own home or on location, I value the use of beautiful light to best showcase your family, all while getting genuine and emotion-filled images!
You'll come out of your session with images that you'll be proud to display for years to come.
Elevated and emotive family photography
I'm a mom of 4 (three boys in 3 years, and a daughter) and I can promise you that the last thing you need to worry about is your kids.
My clients call me a toddler-whisperer, and my goal for our session is to have fun. You don't need to worry about ANYTHING except loving on your kids and enjoying your family
It couldn't be easier!
Clients love that they don't need to stress about their kids' behavior

Jessica and Nick brought their family to Greendale for a summer session in the beautiful long grasses! I will always recommend this location to clients who are looking for a neutral background with great texture near Milwaukee

This beautiful fall family session took place right outside Milwaukee. The pines provided some color even after most of the trees lost color in November.

I want to learn more about you and your family! How many kids do you have? What are you hoping for in a photography session? What draws you to my work and style?
Lets start with a conversation. I'll talk you through my experience and process to make sure we are a good fit, and that you understand the whole photography experience!
1. look around & Say Hello!
2. booking
Once we are clear on your vision, we can officially get a date and time on the calendar! YAY! I will send over a contract and invoice for you, as well as a questionnaire to collect all your information so that I can best prepare for your session!
3. session planning
After booking, we get to plan your session! We will pick a great location from my extensive list, and will get to planning outfits.
You will receive a style guide and prep guide for your session. I even have a collection of dresses that you're welcome to use if you are looking for a great dress to wear!
4. session day!
The session itself will be relaxed and FUN! My specialty is working with young kids. I will guide your family through interactive posing and prompts that will feel more like playing and hanging out than posing. We will have a great time!
You can leave it up to me to get your kids to interact. You just need to relax, and have fun :)
5. after your session
We're done with the session...YAY! You can expect your images delivered in an online gallery within two weeks of our session!
Once you have the images, they are yours to download! I will also help you with any print, artwork or album orders that you would like to have for heirlooms or gifts. The best part is getting the photos printed to enjoy them forever!

I always fall in love with the photos she’s able to capture. We have a very squirmy son and she somehow manages to get some of the best photos of him. And, the style and quality of her photos are absolutely stunning.

"Her light and airy style of photography is so gorgeous and so special - truly so so so beautiful"
-Jenny
Working with Abby was absolutely amazing! We went for family pictures and our toddler was having a really bad day. She was throwing a tantrum the whole way to our location. I figured the whole thing would be a disaster, but I was completely wrong. Somehow Abby had our toddler giggling and smiling in all of our pictures and they turned out amazing! Will definitely be having her take all our family pictures in the future!
-Amber
She made it so easy, carefree and was absolutely amazing with the kids! We couldn’t have asked for a better family experience and BEAUTIFUL family photos!

"I love the way she uses natural light to enhance her photos… they come out looking polished and professional, yet natural and not overly posed… just perfection! She is so friendly and down-to-earth, which makes the photo sessions so much more comfortable. And she is so patient with the kiddos… I was really impressed that she got so many good shots of my less-than-cooperative toddler!" - Katie
Hands down Abby is the best. The photos made me cry of pure happiness. She captured my little girls perfectly, and the photos will hang on my walls for years and years to come. Abby is AMAZING at engaging the little kids and keeping them interested. And even if your kiddo isn’t having it, she works through it and you will still have a gorgeous gallery! I can’t recommend her enough, just book her and don’t think twice. -Jessica
"We really enjoyed working with Abby. She’s is so fun to work with. Super creative. We had no idea how to pose and she guided us through. We got our photos really quickly and we LOVE them. 📷 Thank you Abby for capturing our memories!" - Dui
