Meet Your Photographers
### Tiffany Crenshaw, Animal House Photography
I'm Tiffany, the artist and boss babe behind Animal House Photography. I am a lifestyle, newborn, and family photographer passionate about creating timeless, emotive moments that tell unique stories for my clients. As I’ve developed and refined my craft and voice as an artist I have taken that knowledge and turned it into education for other photographers that hope to do the same. Running a profitable and joy-filled business that serves my clients, and more importantly, my family is the heart behind my education.
When I’m not the girl behind the camera, I’m a mom living her best life with my family. There would be no AHP without them, and they will always be the heartbeat of my business. I’m married to my high school sweetheart who supports every crazy idea and venture that I go on. My ride or die and bestest friend.
Huntsville Alabama has been our home for the last four years! We moved here with two kiddos and the Lord surprised us with one more along the way. I am a homeschool mama alongside running this business and it uniquely positions me to help other mamas learn to find balance and sustainability in their businesses, despite hectic schedules. I’m also super passionate about diversity and representation and will always fight for a world where my children see themselves as beautiful and valued.

### Timofey Abel
Timofey Abel was born in Moscow, Russia, and immigrated to New York City at the age of 7 as a political refugee. He became interested in 35mm street photography at the age of 16, but always took great interest in the creative arts, including painting, music, cinematography and writing. Abel grew up on the road, having visited over 30 countries before turning 18. Culture, history and diversity are elements he values in both his personal life and professional work. His documentary street photography slowly transitioned into portrait and fashion photography when he moved up to South Carolina from South Florida. Abel’s photography is often described as emotional, personal and dramatic. “The story behind an image matters more than the image itself” says Abel, highlighting the importance of storytelling as well as connection to the subject being photographed. Currently, Timofey Abel lives in Atlanta, GA. As a young photographer (20), he emphasizes the effect that visual arts have on a society, and how photography impacts and reflects culture.
### Sara Keith
Sara Keith is the Director and Owner of the Atlanta School of Photography, established in 2017. Sara has always held the belief that everyone is a photographer, they just don’t know it yet. Her sole motivation is to get more cameras in more hands across Atlanta, allowing everyone to create amazing, beautiful images they can be proud of. Her joy of teaching comes from her grandfather, who gave Sara her first camera when she was just a kid.
Sara graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2011 with a BFA in Photography and a Minor in Film and Television. She has been working as a professional photographer since 2012 and has worked for clients such as the Woodruff Arts Center, Delta Airlines, and Ponce City Market.
Sara was born and raised in Milwaukee. Like most Wisconsinites, she is an avid Packers fan and misses cheese curds. However, she has found her new home in the South; where many foods are still fried, there's a longer camping season in the Appalachians, and the people are every bit as wonderful. She is proud to now call Atlanta her home.
Sara is also proudly neurodivergent, and has Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, and is proud to bring awareness to fellow photographers, business owners and aspiring business owners.
