About me

The eye behind the lens, the soul behind the stories.

Portrait

Hi, I'm Abigail. Photography, for me, isn't just about capturing beautiful images. It's about capturing truth. The quiet kind. The kind you feel in a passing glance, a shadow at golden hour, or a fleeting smile from a stranger on the street.

I built Abigail's POV as a space to share not just what I see but how I see. Through my lens, I explore the idea of sonder.

Through my lens, I capture more than moments – I capture the story behind the stranger. Every image is rooted in sonder – the powerful truth that every person holds a world of unseen dreams, struggles and triumphs. I don't just show you what life looks like. I show you what it feels like to stand in someone else's frame, if only for a second.


Sonder

noun

son·der

The feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles:

In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.
