Abbey Guffey, of Abbey Saxton Photography is a lifestyle photographer in Tampa FL.
In her own words “Documenting families within their own homes is where my heart lies. Real life and love happens at home.”
“My desire for any family is to embrace this stage in life as it is. It’s not always picture perfect, but in-home sessions capture moments in time that will soon be gone as our babies and children grow. Not only are the tiny gripped fists, gassy smiles, and peely new skin in the forefront of my mind, but there is a new family dynamic happening behind me in-between clicks. It’s during those breaks where many photographers take a breather and come out from behind the camera that I really go to work and capture the moments unfolding behind me.”

I am an all natural light photographer around Tampa, FL and surrounding areas. I specializes in maternity, newborn, babies, and families with young children. I offer in home newborn and on location photo sessions.
Newborns are definitely my favorite age to photograph. This age can be the most difficult, but the most rewarding. For parents to be able to look back at portraits and remember their child so itty bitty brings back those amazing memories of when they first met. These moments should be captured and cherished for a lifetime.
