"Definitely Chocolate"

ABBY LIGA, Contributing Photographer
Abby Liga, of Liga Photography photographs weddings, portraits, and fashion with a young, fresh, cutting-edge style that sets her apart from all the rest. By pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture, Abby takes her photography to the next level from her edgy "trash the dress" sessions, sexy "high fashion boudoir marathons" to creating natural, fun portraits of children in their own environment. Whatever the subject, Abby's twist of creativity and style emanates through her lens. www.ligaphotography.com
