Hi, I'm ALISON

View the details

Alison is more than a skilled photographer - she has the rare capability of making people forget that they're being photographed, allowing her to capture my daughter’s personality in each image. Her photos make me feel like I’m living these moments again, disproving the adage that you can’t go back. When I saw the amazing photos from my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, I made sure to elicit a promise from Alison that she would include both of my daughters on her schedule for senior portraits, and I’m grateful that she was able to fit us in. Having too many beautiful photos to choose from is a problem I’m very happy to have.

Alison is a true artist. Her superior high quality and stunning style shine bright in every photo. Alison’s ability to instantly create a comfortable atmosphere while capturing beautiful and meaningful moments is why we have booked her for multiple important milestones. Her warm presence and calmness eased stressful family dynamics - that alone is priceless. After two bat mitzvahs and a senior session, our home is filled with stunning photos we will cherish forever. We are so lucky to have found Alison!

- Randi

I wanted to find a photographer that would capture my daughter today, but would also see and capture her whole being, all eighteen years of her. Alison did this. She made the session fun, comfortable, and she effortlessly brought out the light in Lucy's spirit. She made my senior felt seen, special and taken care of. What a gift. We feel so lucky to have found her!

- Kristen

I do not have words to express what an absolute total package it is to work with Alison. Alison is a professional who knows how and when to get the perfect shot, while at the same time bringing warmth and humor to a sacred celebratory experience. The results of our relationship are priceless pictures we are moved by viewing again and again. 10/10 would work with Alison again for any of our family photography needs!

Alison photographed our daughter and family for her Bat mitzvah in 2016. What an easy experience! Anna was shy, easily overwhelmed, and slightly uncomfortable being photographed, but Alison immediately put her at ease with her gentle yet upbeat personality. Soon Anna was giggling, and to this day they are my favorite photos of her; we truly treasure them. So it was an easy choice to call Alison again in 2020 for Anna’s senior photos. As expected, the experience was well-planned, calm and relaxed, and the photos are absolutely beautiful.

- Molly

Alison was a joy to work with, from beginning to end. So professional, thorough and sweet in her communications, and then you meet her and she's even lovelier in person! To say my daughter has a passion for books would be a huge understatement. Alison was not only willing but encouraged her to reach out to the local bookstore to have part of the photoshoot there. It made the experience (and the pictures) a truly unique and beautiful experience! When it was time for my son's senior portraits it was a no-brainer. Alison has a huge gift of putting kids (teenagers!) at ease and bringing out their best most natural selves. The photos she took will prominently be on display in our home for a lifetime! Thank you Alison!

- Annie

We could not be happier with the beautiful images Alison created. She really captured Davis' personality in that moment in time and we so enjoyed the session with her. She is so kind, fun and relaxed, it’s no wonder she makes such beautiful images. We are so grateful for her time - these are memories we will keep forever!

- Irene

I will always stand behind my saying “Nobody does color like Alison.” Every person, young or old - every senior in high school, Bar/Bat Mitzvah or special photography session - will be so proud with the photographs to admire as memories to last a lifetime. Alison has always listened to what I would like out of our sessions: my dreams and goals to cherish as memories to last a lifetime. When you look at the beautiful detailed outfit, or the amazing background, you too will be saying “Nobody does color like Alison.”

- Raquel

Alison is a master at making you feel comfortable during the photography session. She suggests locations, poses, special spots with the best lighting all with a smile on her face and words of calming and support! She truly is an expert at her craft and the photos will come out exactly as what you wish. I have hired Alison for a quick 15 minute grad session for my son who will only tolerate a few pictures and I have hired Alison for a few hours grad session for my daughter who wanted flowers and 3 dress changes! We will be hiring Alison in the future!
