Abbie - Photographer
From studying Art and Photography in college and going onto a pre-degree foundation art course, Abbie has always had a creative nature! She loves to have fun in the studio and you’ll always hear her casting some sort of magic! Abbie is most happy when she’s surrounded by animals, especially dogs, as she also fosters them at home! (So, prepare your dogs for lots of fuss!)
However, after all the excitement in the studio, she also loves to relax with a good book!
