Welcome, I'm Abena

You may have met me under my middle name Kay!

"Abena is absolutely incredible! My fiance and I just had an engagement session and Kay made us feel so comfortable and confident with just the right amount of direction. And the photos are STUNNING! They are everything I could’ve asked for and more." - Lindsay & Dylan


Who This Is For


You might be here because


-You've never felt comfortable in front of the camera

- you want photos that feel honest, not posed

- you value emotional safety as much as beauty

- you're drawn to intimacy, intention, and meaning.


You don't need confidence. You don't need experience. You only need curiosity and trust in me !

What Makes This Different?


This work is guided by more than aesthetics.

As a photographer and certified spiritual life coach, I hold space with care, intention, pacing, and nervous-system awareness.

Testimonials

Morgan

I don’t even know where to start! Kay is amazing, in so many ways. She is so energetic which makes for such an amazing session! She knows exactly how to get the perfect shots. I’m a person who loves the “in action/non posed” shots and she delivers just that. She can bring your vision to life, and make you feel so beautiful all at the same time. I have never had a session with Kay that I haven’t left with a huge smile on my face. I can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for an incredible photographer,



Kay has captured many special moments in my family's life. She is a great photographer to work with as she knows exactly how to place you to create the most beautiful memories.
