What I shoot

Almost anything. The honest exceptions: weddings, newborns and animals are not my lane.

Studio or on location. You, without the stiff catalogue pose: the in-between expressions are the keepers.

Content for businesses that want to look like themselves. Founders, teams, product, the room you work in.

Launches, workshops, parties. I move through the room quietly and bring back what it actually felt like.

Engagements, announcements, baby showers, the days you wish you could rewind. Documented, not staged.

Price packages 2026/27

Hi, I'm Abbey. I photograph people the way a small tucked-away restaurant feeds them: few seats, full attention, nothing off a template. I started shooting to hold onto the moments our memories cannot always hold, and that is still the job.

Based in Adelaide. Portraits, branding, product and events; travel is free within 10km and $0.99 per km after that. If you want stiff poses and fake smiles, I know some lovely photographers I can refer you to.
