Hey, I’m Abby
Hi Friends!
My name is Abby
Welcome to Abby Nelson Photography, the premier full-service portrait studio located in Cameron, Missouri.
My Approach
Collaboration
Collaboration is essential for successful photography sessions. Understanding clients' needs enables us to create resonant images. Open dialogue before the session helps explore preferences and requests, allowing for a tailored experience. Key details are carefully considered to exceed expectations and capture authentic moments. This collaborative process fosters trust and comfort, enhancing the experience and resulting in personal, meaningful images. Each photograph serves as a testament to the connections and experiences that shape your family's journey, preserving the essence of who you are in every frame.
A unique session experience
I understand that every baby is unique and has their own pace. That's why our sessions are baby led, allowing ample time for feeding, soothing, and capturing those precious moments in detailed posing. During your newborn photo session, we prioritize creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our studio is designed to provide a comfortable space for you and your baby, allowing you to relax while we work our magic behind the lens. Our team is not only skilled in photography, but also experienced in handling and soothing newborns, ensuring that your little one is safe and content throughout the session.
Prioritizing safety
Baby safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure a safe and secure environment for your little one. I am trained in safe posing techniques, making sure to handle each baby with the utmost care and caution.
From the moment you step into our studio, I create a comfortable space where you and your baby can relax and feel at ease. I understand that babies need uninterrupted time for feeding and soothing, and we make sure to accommodate these needs.
I exercise caution and mindfulness in every pose, ensuring that your baby is never put in a position that could compromise their safety. I utilize safe wrapping techniques to keep your baby snug and secure throughout the entire session.
