We are driven by creativity and self-love and firmly believe that aspiring to be humble is just plain ridiculous. If more people really learned to love themselves and see just how beautiful they are, the world would be a better place. Annnd that’s where we come on at Abbey Anderson Photography. Abbey, visionary, CEO, Creative Director, and Lead Photographer is changing the world as we know it through her colorful, other-wordly, and editorial photography. She works with brands wanting to stand out and tell a story, models and aspiring models, and individuals ready to find love within themselves. 

Our vision is to create a space for people to take up space to be proud of who they are and where they are now. We want to ignite and cultivate the feeling of joy and light and happiness because true happiness can start when you find love within yourself. We are creating spaces of confidence and self-love and helping people let go of fear and open themselves up to vulnerability. We are *not* your average photography company.
