Helping families tell their stories
You love capturing your family’s memories—the giggles, the milestones, the everyday magic. But when you look back at the photos, you’re barely in them. The little details, the fleeting moments, the love you pour into your family—you deserve to be part of those memories too.
New Jersey Family & Event Photographer
Do your family photos featuring you look like this?
Maybe your partner is like mine; he has so many strengths, but photography isn't one of them. He manages to take the worst photos of me, so I completely understand what it’s like to feel self-conscious in front of the camera (that is, in those rare moments I am in the picture!). I’ll help you look and feel your best!
Kind Words
“Thank you again!! I will cherish these photos forever, and will be sure to reach out next time we want pictures!”

I really look forward to your sessions!.”

Hi! I'm Allison!
My journey into photography wasn’t a straight line—but it was always full of love, light, and a camera in hand. Here’s how I went from darkroom days to documenting real family memories:
📷 High School & College:
I learned photography the old-school way—film cameras, darkroom development, and carefully composing every shot. I studied structural engineering but never put my camera down. My love for light, symmetry, and storytelling grew.
📷 Early Career:
I worked as an engineer but kept photographing friends and family, eventually transitioning to digital photography.
📷 Becoming a Mom:
Suddenly, I felt how fast time moves. I wanted to freeze every little moment and capture every detail, deepening my love for photography.
📷 Full-Time Photographer:
What started as a creative outlet became my calling in 2021. I officially launched my photography business, blending my love for composition, candid moments, and storytelling to capture memories for families just like mine.
📷 Now:
With nearly 30 years behind the camera, I never tire of capturing real, heartfelt moments for families—because you deserve to be in the memories too.

WHEN I'M NOT BEHIND THE CAMERA
I live in Summit, NJ, with my husband, Greg, and our two amazing kids, Katherine (7) and Sam (9). They are my whole world. We also have two rescue dogs, Haley and JoJo—our fluffy, lovable chaos crew.
I love reading books and watching movies—please share your recommendations!
Caffeine keeps me running. Sorry if I have coffee breath when we meet!
