a note from my heart
i have always been someone who experiences the world through feeling. i use photography to preserve nostalgia and to visually describe my perspective.
outside of my job, you’d probably find me thrifting, cuddling with my cats, doing something crafty with my hands, strolling around a farmers market, journaling by the sea, car camping, dancing around in my pj's, collecting national park postcards, splashing in puddles, watching anything directed by wes anderson or hayo miyasaki, modeling for styled shoots, traveling around the world, or eating burritos with my partner of 6 years.
i also love anything and everything to do with film photography! read below to understand why.
a note from the artist
this is
me
a romantasizer, a daydreamer, and a feeler.
why film?
it's hard to describe why capturing couples on film means so much to me because that feeling is intangible and ineffable, and yet so simple and real. shooting on film is like listening to music on vinyl.
it's scratchy and soft, playful and poetic, rudimentary and complicated. it amplifies the feeling of nostalgia because it's un-replicable and sometimes unpredictable, which makes for some unique photos that truly reflect what's right in front of you.
take a look through some of my packages to see the wide variety of film coverage i offer to make your day look and feel one of a kind.

“from start to finish, our experience working with alison was an absolute delight. from the moment we met, it was clear that she not was only passionate about her craft but also genuinely excited to explore the beauty of glacier national park with us. her easygoing demeanor put us at ease which created an atmosphere of collaboration and creativity. her familiarity with the park allowed us to explore hidden gems, resulting in photographs that felt like undiscovered treasures. she had an exceptional eye for composition and balancing the natural wonders of the park, all the while capturing justin and i’s love. she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and guided us with gentle prompts the entire time. it felt more like a day spent with a friend than a photoshoot, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. we left with not only stunning photos but also a deeper appreciation for the art of photography. thank you again, alison!”
