Abby Bates photography

Your graduation photos shouldn't be a last minute thought. They shouldn't be a taken by a friend with a camera. Your graduation photos should be a documentation of the time you spent at a place you love. They should be fun, vibrant, sophisticated, and timeless. Having shot over 500 graduates from the University of Alabama, I promise to deliver quality images that are unmatched from all the rest. So go ahead and splurge on those red bottoms and that bottle of Veuve Clicquot and let's create timeless and iconic photos together!
