Kara Abbey Photography

As a teenager, I had one goal: own my own business. I wanted to do something to help support my family financially, while still being able to stay home with my future kiddos. In 2008, when my best friend got engaged & asked me to take a few “engagement photos” for her with my “fancy” camera, I found the objective to that goal: I fell in love with photographing couples in love! Fast forward to 2015 - the year I took my wedding photography business full time, the year we welcomed our daughter into the world, & the year that that goal of teenager Kara became a reality.

My photographic style is classic, bright, & happy. There are a lot of “fads” when it comes to photography & my goal is to avoid all of them. I never want my images to date themselves simply because of the post-processing that was added to them. My goal is for my photos to be as true-to-life as possible: I love green greens, blue blues, & creamy skin tones. I strive for a mix of timeless poses & candids that reflect the moment - whether a couple is quiet & calm, quirky & energetic, or romantic & fun! I always want my images to tell the true story of a couple’s love.
