Portraits
Abby Bates photography
My approach to portrait sessions is to provide a comfortable and fun environment for you. I understand being in front of the camera can be intimidating to a lot of people. I never expect you to know what to do when it comes to posing. I provide direction and will guide you along with simple poses and encourage you throughout the entire shoot. My style is natural and true to life. I love finding pretty light for all of my shoots. Whether you are needing some updated branding photos, you're bringing home your precious new baby, you're graduating from high-school or college, or whatever it may be, I would love to work with you!
