About Amy K. Abney





Hi, and thank you for visiting my page!  My name is Amy K. Abney and I am the face behind AKA Photography.

I am a Dallas based lifestyle photographer. A “documentarian of life” is what I have been called at times and this is very much true– there is not a day that goes by that I don’t document/capture something with my camera!

Of course, having three amazing children have been some of my biggest inspirations. I started this photography journey almost 16 years ago when my oldest was born.  I truly believe my gift to capture life and its precious moments was God given and I am so grateful to be able to pursue a career that I love every moment of.

Pictures are priceless– I believe that.  We all have phones these days that take pretty awesome photos, and we live in a time with taking photos has never been easier.  That is blessing but in some ways a curse I believe. So many of us have thousands of images of our loved ones on our phones and on our computers, but rarely do we take the time to get those memories printed out to have as keepsakes or beautiful wall art.  This is where I can help! 

Whether it’s a special anniversary party that needs capturing, family photos, a milestone birthday, high school senior photos, corporate headshots, team pics, I can capture them all.  And for that reason, I am one of the most flexible and versatile photographers you will find here in the metroplex.

Amy Abney’s photography is truly magical because she not only knows how to capture a high quality image, but also tell a story and solidify a memory. Working at children’s theatre, she takes photos of shows and takes promo pictures that are able to truly convey the message of the show in just one moment.

Amy is an incredibly talented photographer and a joy to work with. Both my husband and I dread having photos taken, but Amy makes the process relaxed while managing to get beautiful shots. She has documented several family milestones over the years and quickly became our go to photographer for all occasions. We moved away from the Dallas area and lamented that we were leaving our family photographer - but will see her again when we visit!

Over the last 4 years, Dallas Moms has worked with Amy in a variety of settings for event photography and professional group images - both indoors and outdoors, in rainy weather and terrible, sunny heat. No matter what the environment, Amy’s quality of work is always consistent and captures the beauty in every moment. She’s an expert in her craft!

Amy is one of the most fabulous photographers I have ever worked with. She has done photo sessions for myself and my family for the past six years. I have a young child and doing a photo session with a young child can be rough but Amy takes it in stride always. She is not afraid to get down in the dirt and move around in anyway possible to get the best photo!!! She is always so patient and kind when working with my young daughter. Our last photo session with Amy involved our new puppy and Amy was amazing making our whole family feel comfortable and we got some priceless photos out of that shoot. I have recommended Amy to many family and friends and would recommend her to anyone wanting some priceless and amazing photos.

Whether it be small and intimate or big and bold, she is able to capture the story the actors are trying to tell. She can take life on stage and transfer it to film. It’s not an easy task to do, and Amy does it flawlessly.

Amy has a keen eye for the nuances that define people, places and experiences and she enables her clients to hold onto them for a lifetime. She specializes in family and child portraits as well as photography for special events and entertainment. I have had the privilege of working with her for on-location photo shoots to promote theatre productions, as well as enjoyed many of the images she captured and edits of my children’s youth theatre shows. Amy is an experienced professional photographer with an eye for capturing life’s most memorable moments.
