I’m Allison &
I love to photograph families.
I am so glad you have found your way to my slice of the world!
I hope that you’re here because you have something to celebrate.
A growing family, a milestone birthday, or even the perfect summer day.
I am a mother to my wonderful daughters, and wife to an incredible partner. They bring joy, chaos, and change into my life every day! We grow flowers, care for our pets, and throw impromptu bedtime dance parties at our home in Vallejo.
I love spending time with new babies. I love watching relationships bloom. I love taking snippets of life and turning them into art.
I work with film and specialize in relaxed at-home sessions that uniquely document your family for who they are.
I invite you to read more about me and my love for photography.
JOY & MAGIC
THE EXPERIENCE
Film is my medium because I believe that it adds a unique & nostalgic feeling to images.
I want your family photos to be FUN and I want you to LOVE the experience of having your picture taken! Before we spend time together I want to be the one to make you feel at ease, well prepared, and ready to have a great time. We’ll text, email, and video chat to dream up a playful and engaging experience for everyone in your home.
At the time of our session, I’ll play with the kids and cheer on everyone for looking cute.
All while enthusiastically documenting everything that makes your family special.
Tell me more!
Our first introduction is a detailed questionnaire that will give me all the wonderful details about what makes your family special. Tell me all about your children, how you met your partner, and what milestone you want to capture!
Let’s chat!
Next we’ll get some face-to-face time on a video call where I will dream up activities for your family. The best outcomes happen when a family has an activity that connects them in joy and playfulness.
Photo Day!
Photo day is the most special day of the year. You’ll get two hours with me, my silly jokes, my cameras, and film. I’ll guide you through activities while being enthusiastic about how cute you are all looking!
Time to see the photos!
My package includes the digital archive of your images but I also believe in the power of the printed image so your gallery will include access to an online store and my assistance in ordering albums or prints.

Family photos deserve to be seen and I want to help make that happen.
