The Artfully Curated 

What is The Artfully Curated workshop, and what do we do? Once a year, we gather a small group of wedding photographers for a day-long intensive, and I’d love for you to join in the adventure! The workshop is divided into two parts: the guest speakers and the editorials. During the speaker portion of the day, we cover the nitty-gritty of up leveling your photography business, like marketing, pricing, vendor connections, and artistry.  Then, we explore breathtaking editorials together, where we tackle flat flays, table scapes, florals, boudoir, and a bride and groom. Through this workshop, you’ll gain the knowledge to elevate your business, hone your craft, and attract your ideal client. 

Welcome! We are so glad you're here! 

Meet Abigail

When I was 16 years old, my mom bought a Canon EOS rebel film camera. After that, I fell in love with photography and it fueled my already artistic heart with a deep desire to make it my life’s work. Now, after over a decade of being a professional photographer, artist, and mentor, I am beyond excited to offer this immersive experience for you. I find so much joy in helping those who are equally as passionate about photography, as I am, elevate their business and artistry.

Our workshops are a friendly environment focused on growth with lots of 1:1 practice within a casual and safe space where every person's experience is valued.

Kind Words

"I attended a workshop hosted by Abigail in June and it was such an amazing experience. Abigail is so sweet and laid back! I was a little nervous to attend the workshop since I had no previous experience with film, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She’s such a great person to work with and I highly recommend her! If you are a fellow photographer, I encourage you to attend one of Abigail’s workshops." - Morgan Smythe

"I took Abigail’s workshop in May to learn to shoot film. I was so excited to learn from her because her work is incredible! The workshop did not disappoint. She was very informative and so down to earth that learning from her was easy! She created a relaxed and chill learning environment with an amazingly styled session. I’m so happy I went to the workshop that I signed up for her next one! Abigail is very sweet and talented; you wouldn’t regret learning from her!" - Holly Hatchett

"I participated in one of Abby's Film workshop a few weeks back and I really enjoyed it! I've always admired her work and her use of color. So, when the opportunity to attend one of her workshops came up, I could not pass it up. Abby is incredibly talented and so down-to-earth. I honestly know nothing about film, but she still worked with me and answered all of my questions. After attending the workshop, I completely have a new understanding and appreciation for her work. Film is hard and she rocks it! You're missing out if you don't have her document something in your life!"
