Hi There!

My name is Abbi - I’m the Durham Region photographer behind La Vie Photography! I’m passionate about photography and capturing my clients in a way that expresses their true personalities. If you are looking for photos that are fun, provoke happiness and display love - then I’m the photographer for you! Sessions with me are laid back and my goal is not perfection but connection. I aim to produce portraits that make you feel something when you look at them - which hopefully will make them perfect to you!
