About Abby – The Eye Behind Angles by Abby
Every journey begins with a flash Mine started my freshman year of high school, holding a $600 Canon kit with two humble lenses that felt like magic (not really they were cheap kit lenses hahah) in my hands. That camera was my pride, my compass, my way of seeing the world differently and in a way most people don’t get to experience.
By my senior year of high school, my AP Photography class challenged me to turn my vision into voice. Scoring a 5 on my portfolio wasn’t just a number—it was proof that this passion had roots, that I could grow something beautiful from it.
At Saint Xavier University, my craft blossomed. I was handed tools I once only dreamed of—shooting video on a RED camera, capturing moments on a Sony a7iii, even stepping in front of the lens for a school commercial. Every frame deepened my belief: this was more than a hobby, it was a calling.
Life, as it does, tested that calling. After college, I held onto my Canon Rebel T6, pushing it further than it was ever meant to go. Then the world shifted in 2020, and like so many artists, my momentum slowed. But love never truly disappears—it waits. In 2025, I stopped waiting. I took the leap, invested in myself, and Angles by Abby was born. This is more than a business to me—it’s a promise. A promise to capture stories, emotions, and fleeting moments with the same wonder I felt holding that very first camera.
Thank you for being here, for following this journey, and for trusting me to turn your moments into memories. — Abby, founder & photographer of Angles by Abby

Take a peek below at some of the beautiful humans I’ve had the pleasure of shooting across my 8 year photography journey.

Let me help you tell your story
Let me help you tell your story
My camera and I would love to help you tell your story. Whether that be a baby announcement, an engagement, a simple family photoshoot or even an elopement. I would love to meet you and make your dream come to life via photographs. I am willing to travel anywhere within the Chicago metropolitan area. At the moment, I don’t shoot weddings because honestly, that’s kind of stressful.
