Abbie is a professional photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States.

Abbie discovered her love of imaging while taking high school photo courses out of college texts and working an after-school job at a local photo lab to keep up with her abounding obsession. Abbie took first place in the VICA Utah photography competition before graduating high school in 2002. Most of the college programs weren’t offering any digital education upon graduation, so she sought out a hands-on approach in the workplace instead, and began making her way up the ladder at a local Utah studio. Abbie’s early twenties brought a myriad of job titles – she worked as a finisher, retoucher, printer, and staff photographer by day, but spent her nights developing her artistic eye through personal projects and concert shooting. Music has always been a driving force behind her work. Abbie recalls receiving her first “boombox” on her fifth birthday, and how music would forever shape her life and the way she sees and hears the world around her. “Without any musical talent to call my own, I revel in lending my sight to a musician’s sound.”

Abbie went pro in 2005 and received her Master of Photography certificate as well as Portrait of the Year from WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) in 2006. In September of 2008, Abbie published INITIUM, her first book of photographs. Her work has won numerous awards and has appeared in magazines such as American Photo, Photo District News, Rangefinder and Popular Photography, and is also in the private collections of many of the bands featured on this site. When she doesn’t have a camera in hand, Abbie enjoys finding new shooting locations, riding her bicycle, eating delicious mexican food, roadtrips to scenic destinations, and sleep. Her heroes include Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, David Lachapelle, Elvira, and Cher.
