About

About Me

Welcome! My name is Abbey Turner, and I am a photographer, visual artist, and creative based out of Toledo, Ohio.  I graduated from The Ohio State University with my Bachelors of Fine Arts and a focus in photography, all while growing my business for the last 5 years.  My preschool teacher would tell you that I would refuse to leave the arts and crafts table, and it has been my life’s work and passion ever since. I am professionally trained in both digital and analogue photography, as well as darkroom and 4x5 processes. I am Midwestern born and raised, as you will see a large influence of American youth culture, rich rustbelt landscapes, and soulful vintage imagery in my work.

I love my clients and strive to give them timeless, unique images that capture emotion, light, and the unparalleled beauty I see in everyday life.  There is nothing more gratifying to me than watching my clients light up after seeing my work. My process is experimental in nature as I find the most joy out of pushing creativity, vibrant color, and nuance ideas through my work. When I don’t have my camera in hand, you can catch me with my headphones in listening to Lana Del Rey, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, shopping for yet another pair of eccentric shoes, or making the most of our Midwestern seasons by snowboarding and rollerblading.

Abbey took my senior photos, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Abbey is laid back, creative, and so talented, which made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Her style is unique and recognizable which I love, and she was very open to my ideas and worked to bring my vision to life. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you are looking for timeless photos!

Abbey was able to capture the feeling and energy of my jackets. She brought them to life in her photos and was easy to work with. She listened to all of my suggestions, and the results were even better than I expected. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!

Abbey took our family pictures for us this fall, and they turned out absolutely amazing! She pinpointed the most perfect locations and knew all the best ways to take pictures of us. My son, who never likes to get in front of a camera, adored Abbey and loved to smile for her! I highly recommend Abbey for all your picture needs!

I hired Abbey to do some work for my clothing company, and she exceeded my expectations. Her work is incredible, and she made working with each other from completely different states much easier than expected. Her work is what I use as an example when it comes to showing other photographers what I would like my shots to look like for my company. Thank you Abbey for the amazing work you did for me!

We LOVE Abbey. She has excellent artistic vision and seems to always come up with a priceless picture. She is easy to work with, and my girls relate to her well. I really like how I don’t have to go through 100 proofs, I totally trust her to pick out the BEST shots and to make them beautiful. I would highly recommend her services to others. We will plan on using Abbey again to take my youngest daughter’s senior pictures.

Our family had the most amazing senior photo session with Abbey! She has been absolutely wonderful to work with from the first day we spoke with her all the way through the entire process. Abbey took time to listen to our daughter Erin’s interests as a person, and visions Erin had for her photo shoot. She then spent time looking for areas around the Toledo area that matched Erins personality and set a plan for us for the day of the shoot. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and capture our senior perfectly. Abbeys talents as a professional photographer are above and beyond and we could not be more happy with the end results. Thank you so much for giving us photographs of our daughter that our family will cherish for a lifetime.
