Here it is!! Sneak peeks of my class of 2021 grads!!! All the emotions with this one 😭😍🥳 My first shoot back in a really long time and it was the most beautiful thing I could have hoped for!!!! Love this group and can’t even get over how gorgeous these gals are!!! We did a mix of cap and gown, college tees, and regular cloths and we’ll be doing it again in May but for now I am obsessed with this session!!!!! You ladies are so special!!!!! Head to my stories for the full images of each Senior!! (Also we missed a few because of spring break but I can’t wait to see you all next time!!) #abbyhudsonseniors #abbyhudsonphotography 
Prepping for my first shoot in 16 weeks (!!!!) today and it’s sunny and 70 and all sorts of wonderful outside!! Christmas turned into the off season which turned into maternity leave and after a good chunk of time away, I can not wait to be back at it today!! Also- starting my first shoot of the year with my senior spokesmodel team is the BEST!!! We’ll be doing a mix of cap and gowns, college tees, or whatever their hearts desire for styling and then head to our end of year team dinner together!!! Shout out to Relish for taking care of us tonight!! I’m so excited for tonight and I’m feeling so thankful that this dream is my actual job 😭 #abbyhudsonseniors #abbyhudsonphotography @relishrestaurantandwine 
The biggest joke about maternity leave was thinking that I could launch a full rebrand before I started working again. Ha, I seem to have forgotten how much work goes into newborn life and that it is in fact *not* a time to be productive. With that said, did you catch that? The ‘not so secretive anymore’ secret?? Yup! You read it right! I’m completely rebranding and I am 👏 so 👏 pumped!!! Yesterday I spent 8 hours working on website copy and overall design and I was back at it again today for 6 more. I’m equal parts “hyped up” and “brain is fried”, but it’s so close to finished so YAY!! I don’t have an exact launch date- kind of working off of a ‘the sooner, the better’ kind of timeline but I really am so thrilled and can’t wait to share with y’all what I’ve been pouring my heart into! I’m planning to have a launch week giveaway, so drop a comment below with something you’d love to see as the prize!! 
I never quite know what I was doing in this photo but I love it because it shows how much joy I feel when I’m working. I’ve been trying to think of the perfect post to get back into “business as usual” but none of the captions felt quite right 🤣 I’m probably overthinking it though so here’s my “re entry post”! Hi! I’m Abby Hudson! We just welcomed our son into the world and adjusting to life with two kids has been the sweetest ever! I’m grateful that my dream job was able to help me through two nice long maternity leaves with both of our children. With that said, spring has sprung and I’m so excited to get back behind the camera and back to a normal work schedule! (Or as normal as it can be with a newborn office assistant 😉) I’m super glad to have you in this little corner of my online world and I hope that you’ll stay turned the rest of this week because I have so many things to share since I’ve been gone!!! Cheers to being back! I’ve missed you all!! 🥳 
I interrupt this weeks Instagram break to bring you what could potentially be my favorite before and after ever! Literally almost cried over a hair cut today because Dawn knocked it out of the park! I’m obsessed and so excited for the change! @kaysmama12 @tanglezhairandtanstudio And while I’m here- something work related- i got five hours in the office yesterday with a newborn by my side and it was glorious and amazing to be back - but also I compiled the list of remaining 2021 dates available and let’s just say it’s slim! I’ll be sharing those soon 😬🥳 
The first of many early morning conversations between these two 🤍 Posted this to my story earlier and then decided it needed a permanent home on my feed - blurry, grainy details and all. Heading into my final week of maternity leave before going back into the office consistently. Logging off for the week to soak it all in - distraction free - with my family. This time with them has been some of the sweetest of my life and I’ll be over here savoring the next few days and soaking up moments like this right here. 
Feels good to be back!!! .... Well, sort of “back”! Made it into the office yesterday with the cutest assistant for the first time since this little man completed our family of four and it was so sweet to snuggle him while at my desk and working on what I can still only ever refer to as my “dream job”! Maternity leave isn’t technically over for another six weeks, but I’m looking forward to being in the office a few days here and there to check in with my clients and work on some “off season” projects! But don’t worry- Most days I’ll still be in leggings and a comfy sweatshirt with a sleeping baby on my chest and that’s fine by me 💕 
Still soaking up the baby snuggles over here 💙 I’ll be back in the office soon enough and shooting starts again in the spring, but for now these are the sweetest of days!
