"She was so patient with my not-so-cooperative kids"

“We had a Fantastic experience with Allison when she photographed my family at Branch Brook Park. She knew all the right places to highlight the cherry blossoms and was so patient with my not so cooperative kids. Easy to work with before and after and very flexible with my family’s schedule. We love her!”

Hi! I'm Allison

I’ve been photographing since high school, starting with film cameras and learning the ins and outs of a darkroom before transitioning to digital in 2006. I actually went to school for structural engineering and worked as an engineer before realizing my heart was in photography!

I officially started my photography business in 2021, and I have had SO MUCH FUN ever since. As a mom myself, I know how to connect with kids and help families feel relaxed in front of the camera. With nearly 30 years behind the lens, I never tire of capturing real, heartfelt moments for families—because you deserve to be in the memories too.

More about me!

we will treasure [our photos] forever."

“We cannot recommend Allison more. She drove out of her way to the location we wanted to go to and was so patient and kind throughout our shoot. Our maternity photos came out absolutely perfect and we will treasure them forever.”
