    “Abbey was wonderful to work with! She had a quick turnaround time on finished pictures and great communication. I really appreciated that she provided options and photos of different locations to choose from, it made planning so much easier. She was also incredibly patient with our two toddlers (one sick and both pretty grumpy that day 😅). The photos turned out beautiful, and I would absolutely recommend her.”

    “We had a lovely time meeting up with Abbey for our family photos at the Aulani Disney Resort. She knew the best times of day to shoot and best places to get a good background. We were a little limited by our schedule so needed to meet her in the early morning and she was very accommodating. She helped us with poses and made sure everyone was very happy and relaxed the entire time. I didn’t feel like the shoot was too short or too long. I would choose to do our photos with her again.”
