Hi, I'm alyson

I never had any outside influences that pushed me to be a photographer. As cliche as it sounds, I think photography found me. When I would think about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life there was never a definitive answer but I did know that I was born to be independent and create a life that fueled my creativity.

When I was thirteen a family friend asked me to take a few photos for their Christmas cards. With little to no background experience I gave it my best shot and within a year I was asked to photograph my first wedding. 

I became very passionate about photographing others and telling a little piece of their life story with the short time I was able to spend with them. So much so that I decided on specializing in marriage & motherhood photography. 

Weddings take the cake for me. I genuinely enjoy the rush of being tossed among strangers' family and friends and going with it.

I love creating intimate connections with my couples while laughing and having a great time. I live for quirky best man speeches and grandpa's best dance moves. But also get choked up as the wedding vows are exchanged. I cannot think of a greater feeling than being welcomed with open arms to one of the greatest celebrations in life and feeling like I have become a part of the family.

Which is why I aim to maintain that level of comfort for my couples far beyond their wedding day. There is just something so incredible about watching my couples become parents. Watching them transition their roles from husband and wife to mom and dad from a photographer's standpoint is something I cannot put into words. I feel so humbled to have built that trust and friendship enough to watch their love evolve into something greater than themselves. 

As these moments are fleeting, my one hope is that in finding a photographer and friend in me, you feel as if the many milestones you are walking through now are being documented exactly how you want to remember them for the years to follow.
