Photography has the power to preserve our most cherished moments and capture the beauty that surrounds us. Behind every powerful image is an artist with a unique perspective, and Abigail Garcia of Stormy Gale Photography is a perfect example of how diverse experiences shape artistic vision.
Abigail's path to professional photography is as distinctive as her business name. With a meteorology degree from Northern Illinois University, she transformed classroom jokes about "gale warnings" (a play on her name) into the perfect brand for her photography business. This scientific background gives her a unique perspective on capturing nature's beauty, particularly in the stunning Colorado landscapes she now calls home.
What truly sets Stormy Gale Photography apart is its two-pronged approach. On one side, Abigail creates breathtaking landscape and nature fine art photography, with one of her pieces featured in the "In Focus Women" coffee table book. On the other, she offers deeply meaningful family and pet photography, including specialized end-of-life pet portraits through the Tilly Project. These sensitive sessions provide families with beautiful, lasting memories of their beloved companions during their final days – a service that combines technical skill with profound compassion.
Beyond her artistic talents, Abigail is committed to using her business as a force for good. A portion of proceeds from Stormy Gale Photography supports Love FoCo, a Fort Collins nonprofit serving approximately 1,500 under-resourced families. "Yes, you as a customer get a beautiful image that brings color and light to your space, but your money is also going so much further – it's going to help somebody else," Abigail explains.
