Hello and welcome to the Abbie Payge Photography blog! I am a lifestyle portrait photographer located in the Madison, Wisconsin area. I love fashion and design, and I truly believe it can make the photograph. You will often find me thumbing through fashion and decor magazines for fun new ideas.

I specialize in children's portraiture and my style has been described as modern, rich, and soulful. My greatest joy is capturing all the unique personalities and making connections with my
                                      subjects. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will enjoy my blog and visit often!

Memorial Weekend

Oh how I love long weekends…we had a great Memorial weekend spending time with family and friends which reminds me to give a big “thank you” to all of our military personnel for the sacrifices they make each and every day to ensure our freedom.
The apple orchard was in full bloom but the mosquitoes were ferocious so we had a marathon photo shoot not to mention we were trespassing but it was all in the name of photography and I am sure they would have understood ;)
In the first photo Eastyn is trying to blow a dandelion but she doesn't quite get it, first she picks off the seeds and throws them and then blows we have tried to show her several time but this is her way! oh and the first outfit was made by grandma and one of my personal favorites.

Abandoned house at sunset

Here is my second set of photos from the abandoned house at sunset, I love this location but I am sure it will be torn down soon as it is right in the heart of a business park developement.
The last photo is the "scary guy" as Eastyn calls him, we were walking through the corn crib when my husband says "Honey, come see this" it looked like this little guy was just doing what wood chucks do best....digging and got stuck!

Abandoned house

We have been having some beautiful weather around here....I think the snow is finally gone and we can look forward to summer!
I spotted this abandoned house the other day and I knew right away I wanted to go check it out, this property was so much fun there were lots of out building and barns to go exploring in and boy was there alot of exploring to do because it was a real dump! Here is the first set of pictures I took in the moring I also went back in the afternoon for a sunset shoot. Keep watching my blog to see what we found on our last visit.....
Oh! and aren't Eastyn's clothes cute? these are her new Matilda Jane duds!

Finally some warmer weather

We finally had some warmer weather last week, it was in the 40's so we took advantage of the heat wave and went outside for some fun. Eastyn was in her glory, she loves to be outside but let me tell you she is one dirty girl! she will find every puddle or mud hole there is to be found. I think she wants to listen but the dirt is almost like a magnet, it pulls her in no matter how much I tell her to stay out of the puddles or mud. We still love her to pieces no matter how dirty she is.



Miss E just stuck her hands in the puddle and she is showing me how dirty they got!
