Floyd Virginia Family & Wedding Photographer
HERE FOR THE
All love is welcome here! 🏳️🌈
I’ve been a photographer in Floyd VA for 10 years now, and specialize in capturing real and authentic moments! I’m obsessed with film and anything that sparks nostalgia.
We love movement, laughs, chill bumps, a muddy wedding dress, windy hair, barefoot kids, dancing, chasing, exploring and flower picking here!
I’m an embracing chaos, outfit changes in the middle of the woods, skipping under the early moon, running into the sun, and the quiet hugs kind of photographer.
Photos from the heart of all the milestones of your life among the Blue Ridge Mountains. Photos that make you feel how it was and capture exactly who you are.

Wedding Photography
After the months of planning, the excitement and laughs, after the cake is gone, and the music fades your wedding photos will be what takes you back. Tiny memories to hold in your hand that make you feel exactly as you did that day. Surrounded by your people and full of love, laughs, tears - my job as your wedding photographer is to document every authentic moment so you can simply be in them. Ensuring that you get to be as present as possible on your special day is so important to me. It’s an honor to be trusted to document these happy moments for you.
A second photographer is always provided, as well as timeline assistance leading up to your big day! Silver and Gold Packages also include an engraved USB & Keepsake Box.
Maternity Photography
Pregnancy is one of my favorite things to photograph. It’s so raw, powerful and magical getting to capture the beauty of the beginning of motherhood. This quiet special time of before. As a maternity photographer, I pull a lot of inspiration from mother-nature as I document, the bud of a flower, shadows from a growing tree, the glowing light of the sun. My goal is to make you feel as magical, powerful and beautiful as you are!
Your session can be throughout some the great natural backdrops of Southwest Virginia. Something simple like a quiet field, a mountainous overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or even Downtown Floyd if you want a more urban/small-town vibe to your photos.
If you’re not sure what to wear, or you don’t want to buy a dress that you’ll only wear once, then my client closet could be perfect for you! I have a small assortment of dresses that are perfect for maternity with a variety of earthy colors and textures.
Newborn Photography
Newborn days are tender, tiring, and go by so unfairly fast. As your newborn photographer, I take special care to make sure your newborn photos document all the tiny details. The peach fuzz on their shoulders, their tiny ears and toes, the way they hold onto your fingers - all the real stuff that you’ll want to remember after the sleepless nights have come and gone, and the tears from being so overwhelmed have passed. As a mom, I get it and have been in your shoes so my promise when documenting this time for you, is that I have future you in mind. (:
These sessions are relaxed and flexible to allow time for feeding, soothing, changing, and whatever the baby needs. I also offer sessions in the hospital (fresh 48), or even a couple weeks after birth if you need time to get your bearings, it’s totally up to you and what is best for your family. Whether you’re looking for an in-home lifestyle type session or you would rather make use of my photography studio in Floyd VA, I’m so excited to document this precious time for you!
Family Photography
Photographing families is my favorite, truly. Being a mom myself, I strive and care deeply to capture photos of you with your kids that feel exactly who you truly are as a family. When they are grown, I want these photos to take you right back to those tiny curious adventurous babies. I don’t want you to only see how little they were, but hear their giggles, and remember how it felt when they held onto a single finger with their entire hand, how it was to hold them in a tight squeeze, how they looked at you as if you hung the moon just for them.
Just so you know, I don’t want your kids to sit still! The way I photograph real authentic moments comes from a place of adventure and movement. I know you are a little worried about what kind of mood your kid might show up in (trust me, I personally understand this lol), but I am here to direct all emotions! If they are tired and shy, well cool because I think we should sit, be as quiet as a mouse and see how many birds are flying in the sky. Are they a little hyper and not ready to settle down yet, awesome - because we are going to play tag and see who can collect the most flowers the fastest!
Family sessions are best when they are child-lead, and I’m here to encourage those real life family moments to come to surface for you to have and hold for the rest of your lives.
Couples & Engagement
Couples photos that actually just feel like a really fun date and you forget there’s even a camera? Yeah, you’re in the right place! (;
When you look back on these photos years from now, I want them to take you to this exact season of your relationship. I don't want you to only see, but remember how it felt to laugh at the same dumb joke for the hundredth time, how you looked at each other like nobody else in the world existed, the newness and giddiness you felt at the start of it all.
If you’re willing to let go and have some stupid fun, then you really will have the best photos that truly feel like you! I’ll guide you with prompts to really encourage those true laughs - a little whisper in her ear, hold hands and skip(this is so fun), along with some slow quiet moments where you have the chance to just be.
BOUDOIR Photography
My approach to boudoir photography is a little different than other photographers.
I strive for soft, delicate, powerful portraits written from a female gaze and no one else’s.
Photos that aren’t about parts of you, but you as a person.
I see such profound beauty in each person I meet. These sessions are meant to be more creative and to truly create art that empowers you.
Think bare shoulders, wrapped in a blanket or your favorite cardigan in soft glowing light. I love using disco balls, old bathtubs, flowers, aerosol and tulle fabrics.
My studio here in Floyd, VA, is where all the magic happens. It’s private and I guide you through each pose so you feel supported the whole time.
Your gallery stays private, always.
Happy customers

Abigail has captured my absolute favorite photos of my son and I. We have now had 4 sessions with her and every time she wow’s me. Even when my son is running around wild she somehow gets the perfect photos. She is so sweet and always so helpful. 10/10 photographer

I can't recommend Abigail Newman Photography enough. She is not only friendly and easygoing, she is so communicative and helpful in showing you ways to pose and smile. I am beyond happy with the way our shoot turned out- not to mention how quickly I got the photos back!

Abby is great to work with!! She had ideas for shots and directed us in a fun way. We had so much fun on our engagement shoot. We hadn’t had anyone photograph us before so we were a little awkward at the beginning but she helped us feel natural and the awkwardness faded. Loved working with Abby and will definitely work with her again in the future!

Abigail did such an amazing job 🥹❤️ I have always been nervous about boudoir photos and my fiancée wanted some as his wedding gift and I just knew I wanted Abigail to do them. Her studio is perfect for the soft, boudoir photos I wanted! She made me feel so comfortable and I felt so relaxed around her. She is an amazing person and amazing business owner, get her to do your pics ✨

Creating
A GALLERY OF LIFE'S precious moments
When you receive your gallery, my goal is to have you feel every moment just as you did when it was happening! Every laugh, every kiss, every happy little tear. I’m not going to tell you to look at me and say cheese, I’m going to give you some fun prompts to “act” out to evoke those raw - real moments. Eskimo kisses, tickle fights, drunk walks, dancing and so much more! As long as you are ready to have fun and act a little silly, then I’m your girl and we are going to have the BEST time!
beautifully, creatively and
perfectly you!
One of my favorite session types to photograph are creative portrait sessions! They are just so much fun, as we get to be wildly creative and truly create art. Being a photographer, I see such profound beauty in each person I meet. These sessions are so self empowering too! If you are wanting to capture yourself in a completely different light and create art, this is the perfect session type for you!
I love using disco balls, old bathtubs, flowers, crazy outfits, and well honestly literally anything weird and out of the box!! My studio here in Floyd, VA, is where all the magic happens, whether inside, or out in my big open pasture!
