How it all began
I am born and raised in Texas! I grew up in Houston, went to college in San Marcos and have lived in the DFW area for 24 years! I started a love for photography when I was in middle school, taking pictures of everyday life wherever I was, inside or outside, people, pets, objects. It was all important. I started to see the world in photographs. Then I would sit for hours going through photo albums, cutting up my own pictures along with words and images from magazines. This was long before computers or phones could create collages for you! Soon the glue would come out, and it would turn into a messy collage of my life. My memories, my "remember when" moments that all told a story.
As I moved through high school into college, my love for photography continued to grow from film and dark room processing with some of the best professors to the digital era, which was a whole new world! As technology has grown, I have just grown along with it, embracing every change along the way. Always learning, always creating, always storytelling with my camera, "remember when" memories.
My promise to you
When you book a session with me, you will be booking an experience that you will be able to cherish forever. Your images will be your own "remember when" moments, and will tell your story from whatever stage of life you are living. Whether it's a Senior graduation, an engagement, maternity, new baby, family, pet, Quincinera, new home, family reunion; it all matters. They all create the collages of our lives, remembering stories that last forever.

Testimonials
Allison took my son’s Senior Pictures. She did a phenomenal job. Like a lot of boys, my son was a little hesitant, but she worked her magic and got him happy and smiling. We had a great time together! He was a football player, and the photos on the field and bleachers are some of my favorites. I love how she used ideas we had and blended it with her own ideas, and it resulted in wonderful pictures that I will treasure.

Photo sessions are an experience, not just a pose and shoot moment. Playing, laughing, joking, hugging, exploring, connecting. Capturing "remember when" moments is what it's all about.
