I have a bachelor's degree in photojournalism, and that is an element I bring into all my session: A documentary approach that incorporates rawness and authenticity. I have a heart for helping all people see their natural beauty. I love to capture authentic moments when individuals or couples are comfortable in their own skin, and at ease in the workplace, or with their family or outdoors.As a Missoula based photographer, I pride myself with a deep knowledge of the best hidden photo locations.

Montana born and raised, I have a deep love for this state and the people that live here. After a decade of being gone, I feel so fortunate to be able to be back in MT and in the mountains I love. My husband works in healthcare,and my 4 children are the picture of Montana kids.

In another life, I would have been a detective.

i'm abby! A MOTHER, PHOTOGRAPHER, AND biz OWNER who loves USED BOOKS and TRUE CRIME PODCASTS.

...and trusted by over 500 clients and counting.

shouldn't the photos that represent you be unique, too?

your love is unique. your story is unique.

I value collaboration and feedback. During each session I ask for your input and incorporate it into the session.

Here's what makes the Abigail Maki experience exceptional...

I had three babies in 8 months. Yep, you read that right. 3 babies. Toddler tantrums or weird relatives have nothing on that. When you book me, you can expect me to keep my cool in the most difficult photo situations.

I value authentic images. I make sure all my clients are comfortable throughout the session and nothing feels posed or forced. You will leave a session with me feeling like you just spent time with a friend.

I value clear and prompt communication. Before, during, and after the session you can expect a clear outline of gallery delivery, prints, location, and all other details

I take the stress out of having your photos taken-I suggest location, outfits, and even conversation points between family members or couples so they feel like they are on a date or a fun outing- and not an awkward photo session.

still wondering if i'm right for you?

I love Whiskey, reading any type of biography or thriller.
