CAPTURING your family WITH AUTHENTICITY & HEART
Beyond pretty images, for me this work is about being at the service of your family’s legacy. My mission is to gift you the archives of those fleeting and precious seasons & milestones of life. All of this, with authenticity and keeping things natural. No forced smiles or stiff poses can mirror the genuine essence of your family.
My mission:
What to expect
Before our session
During Our session
After our session
Once your session is on my schedule I will send you a questionnaire, this will help me know your family better and tailor this experience to you.
From your answers, I will create a moodboard to give us a creative direction to go from. If you're happy with it I will proceed with planning the styling for the session.
I will share with you one custom styling option for the whole family.You will have the option to either:
- Purchase the outfits yourself if you wish to keep them after the session
- For me to get them and then return after our session
- Or use it for inspiration only and draw outfits from your own clothes/the already available clothes from the client wardrobe.
What to expect
Before our session
During Our session
After our session
During our session you can expect from me someone who will not rush or look at the clock,
someone that wont keep her face behind her camera the whole time or shoot non-stop. I have an outgoing personality and all my clients say how comfortable they feel during our time together, hopefully you will feel the same!
Our time together will be a safe space, you will be respected, free to be yourself and never judged. I might suggest some ideas but will never force you to do anything you don't feel comfortable doing or that is too far from "you".
My directions tend to be minimal (I might give a bit more during maternity sessions compare to a family session), I will sometimes ask you to move to be more within the light or encourage some position or facilitate a moment but I wont micromanage you, I like to let the session flow freely & naturally. Of course if you need more guidance from me I will be there for you.
What to expect
Before our session
During Our session
After our session
Following our session, I will text you some preview images (3 to 5) and will let you know when you can expect your full gallery to be done.
I always edit in order. If you wish to know how many sessions are ahead of yours while you wait don’t hesitate to message me!
If for any reason out of my control there is some delay on the delivery of you session, I will be sure to keep you in the loop.
When you receive your photos you will also get a guide on what to do with your images and get a link to leave me a review on google (if you have the time I will be so very grateful as this is instrumental in getting my small business discovered by other families).
Finally, I will mail you the polaroids shot during the session directly to your home once I have scanned them.

This type of session is perfect for those who love being surrounded by nature’s beauty, and want to make their session a fun adventure. It’s an opportunity to step away from walls and routines, feel the fresh air on your face and use the natural light and landscapes as a dynamic backdrop for your photos.
Outdoor Adventure Sessions are especially great for families with toddlers. Little ones enjoy being free to wander and explore their surroundings, leading the way for endless candid memories.
The raw, organic beauty of nature always gives a special kind of magic to photos. If you love the outdoors and cherish spontaneity, these sessions are made for you.

Homestead SESSIONS
In client's home
Location:
Suited for:
South Carolina + Charlotte NC Area
Newborn, Maternity, Family, (small or large) Motherhood
Best choice if:
Being photographed in your own home carries a special kind of magic. This is the space where your family’s story unfolds—where late-night feedings, first steps, and endless memories are made. It’s not just a house; it’s your home, filled with details and moments that are uniquely yours.
An at-home session is perfect if you want to keep things intimate and relaxed, without the need to travel to a different location. The familiarity of your surroundings creates a sense of comfort and authenticity.
For the best results, natural lighting is key, so homes with big windows work wonderfully. If you're unsure about whether your home is suitable, don’t worry—I’d be happy to chat and help you decide.

THE CLIENT wardrobe
01.
The client wardrobe is fully accessible to all my clients. For sessions outside of my home studio please make a selection of items from the catalogue (up to 6) as I won't be traveling with the entire wardrobe. For kids, I will bring everything in their size. Of course you are free to bring your own clothes as well!
02.
Clothes are either steamed or washed between clients
03.
DO NOT worry about getting the clothes dirty, they are meant to be adventured in!
04.
It includes women clothing ranging from XS to 2XL and kids clothes from new born to around 9 years old (for now). New items are added regularly. You will have access to the complete catalogue when your session is booked.
Your comfort is my number 1 priority so if you are cold I usually have one or two cardigans that you can wear. For your babies feel free to bring jackets/sweaters, I will myself bring blankets to wrap them in if necessary.

TESTIMONIALS
"Alison's work has a sensitivity and rawness, impossible to find anywhere else! When I saw her pictures I immediately knew she's the only photographer I'd want to work with for my pregnancy, my heart was sold. I am beyond grateful that I gifted myself one of the most unforgettable moments with my baby. Her presence overflows with kindness, discretion, admiration for women and love for what she does. She moved around me like a magic fairy, with eyes full of sweetness, making sure I felt comfortable, protected, celebrated. And the biggest surprise of all was when I got to see her pictures! Words fall short to describe her talent and warm, open heart. Just find her and let her immortalize you through her lens"
"I had the absolute privilege to be photographed by Alison this past weekend with my girls. I have never experienced a photographer quite like Alison. She welcomed us into her stunning home and truly treated us like house guest.
It was the most relaxed picture session I've ever experienced. She truly is a huge new asset to the community because her vision, her passion and authenticity is truly one of a kind. The way she captured moments truly gave me small visual keepsakes of the beauty of being a woman and a mother. She has given me a gift I will never forget. I am forever thankful for meeting her."

Motherhood Session
Alison is something else. She did a mother-son session in a corner where we go to escape as a family very often. Alison is quiet and at the same time very comfortable with children. My son loved this session and I was overwhelmed by emotions. I had no embarrassment in front of her, I have complete confidence in her benevolent work. Thank you again for this gift .
Melodie
Milestone Session
"I loved Alison's service and professionalism, she is a great person and I felt very good with her, our whole session flowed in harmony and naturalness. The result is more than I was looking for and it really exceeded my expectations. Thank you Alison for your warmth and your beautiful work, my husband and I love each of the photos and we definitely recommend 100% your service! We hope to see each other and continue working together in our next session of my newborn baby! Alison, you are great and you have a unique talent! Thank you for sharing your valuable work with the world!"

We reached out to Alison for a session with our 5-month-old daughter (I wanted to remember our breastfeeding journey with beautiful images). Alison was very friendly and knew how to put us at ease and she did not look at the clock. The poses/decors were numerous . The gallery delivered was very extensive. I particularly appreciated the detail photos (eg the baby's little hands gripping his feet). I also liked receiving a few "preview" images right after the session

Family Session
I don't have enough words to express all the work, kindness and discretion that Alison demonstrated during the delivery of my son, she knew how to capture this magnificent moment and restitute it through shots of breathtaking beauty, she accompanied us in this moment of our lives and I could only you recommend her services to help you and support you in this journey
