There are few things in this world that can occupy this one-and-a-half-year-old for a whole hour. (That’s sixty minutes, folks.)

Target Dollar Spot for the win!

I often express that I can’t do what I do without the awesome support of my clients. That is especially true now. I’m officially launching the 2017 Senior Rep Program! I’m looking for a team of authentic, passionate, involved girls and guys to act as ambassadors for Abi S Photography and be the face of my senior photography during the 2016-2017 school year.

What will Senior Reps receive?
If selected, you will receive a free mini-session. You will have the opportunity to earn your full session, digital images, prints, and other fun prizes when you refer your friends to Abi S Photography.

Who can apply?
I’m specifically looking for current juniors at schools in the Metro Detroit area, specifically at schools in Sterling Heights, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Macomb, or Rochester Hills. Students of neighboring communities may also be considered.

Who will be accepted?
Individual students will be chosen for how they would represent my business and values. Be yourself in your short answer responses – this is how I’ll get a feel for who you are.

Will all applicants be accepted?
No. Especially in this first year, the Senior Rep Program will be highly selective, as I’m looking for a small but diverse group of students, from a variety of schools. If you apply but are not accepted, you will receive $30 off your senior session with Abi S Photography.

How do I apply?
~~Click here to go to the online application.~~ Application process is now closed.

All applicants will hear from me via email by May 16.

And, hey, I can’t wait to hear from you. I’m so excited to see what this next year holds for us!

with love,
Abi S

McShane girls // family

Two sweet sisters, four and two.We had the Kensington Metropark practically to ourselves, so Callie and Molly could run, twirl, and play. I just love watching these two grow up together — and photographing them along the way.

about my wedding albums.

With wedding season finally here, I wanted to share a peek at my wedding albums. Spoiler alert: I’m in love with these albums, and I totally geek out whenever I share my sample album with clients. The cover and pages are thick and sturdy. Photos can be printed in a panorama across the gutter, and not a single detail (i.e. someone’s head) is lost in the gap. I’m all about personalizing albums, as these are yours. Yours to look at over and over again, yours to showcase and share your wedding day story with friends and family. They are heirloom products, built to be handed down to future generations. I work closely with couples to add their favorite photos and any text they’d like. The end result is just stunning.

Each page is as thick as a penny, and the album itself is 10″x10″.The album included in my wedding collections has 30 pages, but Emily and Tyler (the one on the left) added an additional 10 pages so that they could include more of their favorite photographs. The albums pictured here have two different covers: the cloth cover with personalized embossing and a full color print. I also offer a faux leather cover.

My goal is to keep the layout as classic and simple as possible. I want the photographs to be seen, not lost in some chaotic collage.

Want to check out an album in person? Send me a message, and let’s talk about your wedding day!

Drew + Anna // engaged

They were best friends for nearly six years before finally dating. Their dating relationship began right after a Halloween party, and –according to Drew– “you could just tell something was there.” The time was right. From day one, their love has only grown stronger. Anna says that he really went above and beyond to prove to her that they belong together. He proposed at home with Christmas lights – a beautiful, romantic, intimate setting. Which brings us to today: these two best friends, teammates, getting ready to commit to forever.

They wanted a wintertime engagement session – Anna loves snow! Like magic, snow fell just a couple days before their scheduled session (and melted the day after). It was absolutely perfect. We had Dodge Park almost to ourselves, and we shot until our toes were frozen. I’m so pleased to share these photos with you today and to photograph their wedding this upcoming December. Enjoy.
