About me

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But as a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eleven years and 250+ weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This was the best stumble ever! 

Outside of being a photographer, I am also a wife to the sweetest man, and a mother, to a perfect little miracle baby. If I am not behind the camera, I am 100% with them. Probably running around in our backyard, or sitting on a dock at my family's lake house. If I am not capturing a wedding, or running around outside with my husband and daughter, you can often find me heading to get a sweet treat, reading the newest mystery novel, building another Lego set I just had to have, planning our next vacation, reorganizing my house (hello OCD me), bingeing the newest Netflix show, gardening, or quilting. Yes, I have grandma hobbies and I love it!

I live for:

MY Husband. My daughter. MY FAMILY. TRAVELING. WRITING. NEW BOOKS. CRIME JUNKIES. PODCAST. PLANNERS. STARBUCKS. Lake days. PASTA. SEA GLASS. Legos. Quilting. Gardening.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

1. Holiday Baby? Check. I was born on Thanksgiving, which means that every Thanksgiving my mom has to let me know that I am the best turkey she ever had! I am also one of four holiday babies in my family!

2. College Graduate, Yup, I hold a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a focus in English and also a masters in English. Definitely have plans to get my PHD some day, degree collecting? Maybe.

3. Pets, Please and Thank You! Bailey and I have the sweetest cat named Tulip, and a crazy sleepy dog named Clover. Tulip is ragdoll, and the best cuddler, and Clover is a mutt, which means she is half amazing, and half terrific. (Hope you got the Parks and Rec reference!)

4. Vacations, Sign me up! I have been to eight different countries, and 28 states! I love to travel, and would love to travel more, especially for weddings! *Hint Hint*

5. Girl Mom? Absolutely! My husband and I welcomed our sweet miracle baby in March of 2025. 

6. If I Am Missing Check Northern Michigan: My favorite place to be is at our lake house in Northern Michigan. I spend a good chunk of my summers there relaxing and enjoying my family. I love it so much I got married there in several feet of snow!

7. I believe in when you know you know! My husband and I got engaged after only 2 months of dating, and married after 9. People thought we were crazy, but when you know you know, and we absolutely knew! 

8. Tattoos, Yes please: I have 14 tattoos. Odds are you aren't likely to notice many of them as they are either covered by clothing, or small, but they are there! My favorite one is the ladybug on my wrist for my late grandmother.

""Abigail Saalfrank Photography was recommended to us by a friend and we could not have picked a better photographer. She is absolutely amazing. She had so many ideas and was able to capture so many perfect shots. You see other people's wedding photos and hope yours are that beautiful but Abigail blew everyone else's out of the water. Our photographs turned out so much better then we could of ever hoped for. She has a great personality, and made us laugh so often, posing for the shots and laughing felt so natural and by the end of the day she felt like a friend. I would recommend her photography to anyone and everyone. Her photography is second to anyone and everyone. I am so thankful that we were recommended to her and that she was able to capture one one the most important days of our lives so beautifully.""
