Welcome to my photography blog. In these days of social media, I've been through several name changes and ideas with blogging. It's time to settle, and I plan on leaving this blog name and address in place.

Photography has been a passion for me since I was 11 years old. I can remember the first photo I took. It was of my friend, and neighbor, Sue, She had curly blonde hair, and a bright, happy smile. I'll never forget the excitement of seeing the print of my first photo, printed with that 70's film processing tinge of golden yellow, and in the days when prints had rounded edges. The photo itself is long gone, but the love of photography stays with me to this day.

I hope my photos uplift, inspire, or spread the joy felt while taking them. Thank you for visiting Abby Lanes Photography - The Blog ;)
