say hello! »

As far back as I can remember I have always loved the outdoors, hiking, bugs, friends, working with children and photography. I was always the kid with the disposable camera snapping away! (Did I just age myself?) 

I have used my passions for many things. I have a love for exercise that comes and goes (sometimes I run and eat salad, other times I watch TV and eat ice cream - it's called balance, right?!) and I have also completed a bodybuilding competition in 2016.

My passion for bugs has inspired me to create a pollinator garden in my backyard. I love providing food and a sanctuary for the bees, butterflies, ladybugs and more. I also photograph my flowers and bugs! 

Lastly, I get to use my passion for working with children within photography. I have a background in early childhood education, which I went to college for, and I have experience as a paraprofessional (& that job is how I met my amazing husband).

I understand kids don't want to be forced to sit, smile and be bored. That isn't fun. Kids need games, to keep their fingers busy and interaction. They need play and direction. I use my background and experience with early childhood education combined with my own motherhood experiences to make your session fun and interactive for your kids, which in turn makes it wonderful and stress-free for you! 

Ask anyone who's had a session with me and the first thing they'll tell you is "we had so much fun!" Not only am I a pro at having fun, I'm also your personal stylist from start to finish, providing your outfits and planning them with you.

& i'm here to preserve your lovely family in the now.

hey, I'm Alison!

Ready for the best photo session experience you've ever had?

Here's a snapshot into my world.

A Little Behind The Scenes Of My Life!        

I love hiking! Whether it's to see a cave, a waterfall or zip line, I'll enjoy it. When we lived in Northern Arizona (2004-2019), we hiked most weekends. Camelback Mountain, Lynxx Lake, Squaw Peak, Sonoran Trail, Bell Rock and multiple other trails in Sedona. Ohio doesn't have mountains to hike but the trails are absolutely beautiful, especially during the fall!

I'm sure you know nothing is better than family but while getting to know me, you'll quickly learn that they are my everything. They are the reason I decided to create my business, the reason I continue to push and level up constantly, the reason for my huge goals, the motivation to succeed and the people I want to make proud. I always wanted to be a mother, but I never knew how hard and amazing it would be. I am constantly being wowed and forever impressed by not only my hard working, smart, handsome husband but my intelligent, sweet children.

ashley & FAMILY

"My sister and I gifted an extended family session to our mother to capture pictures of her with the family and all the grandkids. It seemed like chaos during the session, but you would never know looking at our photos. Alison played games with the kids and was extremely patient. Highly recommend!"
