MY PHILOSOPHY - Abby Shadle Photo

SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE

I’m Abby, a wedding, engagement and portraits photographer – here to make your vision come to life.

Photography has always been a passion of mine – the thrill of getting that shot you just know is breathtaking continually amazes me and challenges me to be intentional and personal with what is on the other side of the lens. The quote, “be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” is powerful. To capture moments, moments in time we will never get back, is my passion; those moments that one day we will look back on and cherish because they were priceless – they were everything.

I like to think that I create moments of memory — moments that speak volume and can be a vessel of remembrance. I don’t like the idea of creating a moment to then capture it, but instead creating an environment where my clients feel comfortable for a moment to happen naturally. Poses can only take photos so far – It is so much more genuine and beautiful to photograph a moment that would have happened whether or not I was there.

I have been living in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area since 2010 and have fallen in love with where I live. It is safe to say that Dallas has stolen my heart – and I owe a lot of that to the people I have gotten to meet and know through photography. I grew up in Daytona Beach, FL and thought that the sunshine state was where I belonged, but fast-forward 10 years and Dallas is where I have grown a business and now I have no thoughts of leaving.

Photography is something I have been doing since freshman year of high-school, but it wasn’t until 2016 that I started to professionally pursue a career in photography.

I graduated from Dallas Baptist University in 2019 with a degree in Christian Studies with every intention of graduating and going to work in a church as my full -time job, but as we know, life doesn’t happen as we plan it. The Lord was opening too many doors to continue pursuing my career in photography for me to have peace leaving it. I believe that The Lord has called me into this season of full-time photography as an outlet to minister to anyone and everyone I have the opportunity to photograph.

I want people to know that vulnerability is beautiful and something to be cherished. I want people to know that working toward an image of perfection, more oftentimes than not, leaves you with a lack of identity. The most thrilling shoots are with the clients who let loose, embrace who they are and find themselves leaving it all on the line to be vulnerable — those are the most beautiful photos.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me — I appreciate your support more than you will ever know.
