Hi, this is Allison!
Before we meet, I want to share a love story with you.
My love for photography began in childhood, flipping through the glossy pages of magazines. While studying Graphic Communications at NCA&T SU, photography became a core part of my education, and I fell in love with capturing moments—friends, architecture, and campus life.
After graduation, my career took a different path, leading me to earn a master's degree in a technical field. But my passion for photography never faded.
In 2019, I had a bold dream to publish a photo essay book celebrating the bond between mothers and daughters. The idea for the book was born from my own journey of healing after losing my mother 18 years earlier. It became a way to honor the beauty of motherhood and the deep connections that shape our lives. To prepare, I started taking photos again—and I fell in love with photography all over again.
I have a deep passion for helping people, and I love bringing out the best in my clients. Most would describe me as funny, creative, bubbly, and caring. I go above and beyond for every client, and I know you’ll enjoy working with me.
For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about capturing relationships, preserving memories, and adding to our legacies.
My mission is to help you document your life through beautiful, authentic, and emotional images that tell your unique story.
I can’t wait to see your smile!
My Editing Philosophy
My approach to editing is rooted in authenticity. I believe that your features—the lines that tell your story and the expressions that make you you—are not flaws to be corrected. Because of this, my standard retouching does not include the removal of facial lines or character traits. However, if this is important to you I will absolutely meet your needs.
My goal is to affirm exactly who you are today. I do provide 'technical' polishing, which includes removing stray hairs, lint on clothing, and subtle teeth brightening. If you have specific personal preferences for further retouching, I am happy to discuss those with you to ensure you feel confident and seen.
