    I'm Alison of Photography by Alison and you've made it to the blog. I am a photographer in the San Diego area and specialize in families and teens. This is where I share a few of my favorite images from sessions as well as my family life. Head on over to my website to check out more of my portfolio as well as info about rates and what's involved with a session. Enjoy!

Pacific Beach Family Photographer | little Max

I’ve been photographing Max since he was a newborn… he’s just barely over one. But this is the third time and I just love seeing him and his mom and dad.  Their sessions never disappoint and Max is just about the cutest one year old there is.

San Diego Senior Photographer | Brittany at the beach

Brittany and I crossed wires and ended up meeting in South Mission instead of North which ended up working out perfectly for a variety of reasons.  We had such a great time shooting in the park, the alleys, the boardwalk and last but not least the beach.  We have so many fun shots it was really hard to narrow them all down for even her slideshow.  I love all the variety from her casual to dressy to prom dress at dusk.  Thanks for such a fun evening Brittany:)

San Diego Photographer | Christianne & girls

Christianne was one of my college roommates. Slater and I went to Idaho to visit our other college roommate, Allison and then we headed to Park City to visit Christianne and her girls while they were on their own little vacation. Allison and I see each other pretty regularly but I haven’t seen Christianne for a long time. At least not anything with substance. The three of us had such a great time together… better than old times. Christianne is like Martha Stewart to me. She has incredible style and I envy that in just about anyone. I have never seen the arrangements she does with flowers for weddings but I am sure without a doubt that they are amazing!  Christianne is also thinking of diving into the photography world and I think she would be so great at it.

We went on a little drive around Park City to find a few fun spots to do a session. Everything went great… except later that night when I was in Salt Lake and Christianne was still in Park City (thank goodness), I realized I was missing a very expensive lens. And figured out that it was at the old little shack on the side of the road. And then I started freaking out a little. Christianne said she would go check it out first thing in the morning and she did, bright and early. She reported back that the lens wasn’t there but there was a note. We pulled off on the side of the road close to dusk… how many people could go to this exact location within an hour of us? But thank goodness the people who found it were photographers themselves and knew the lens was a good one and couldn’t bare to leave it sitting there. Christianne picked it up for me later that day and all was right with the world again.

Anyway… long story. The pictures are a must see:)

San Diego Maternity Photography | the Tocco family in Pacific Beach

This was a quick little family maternity session for this family.  I can’t wait to meet baby Christian in September:)

San Diego Senior Photos | Briana

I’ve made a few changes to the blog and soon the changes will be on the main website too.  Trying out a new blog post and my guess is I will be experimenting with a few looks.  For now, here is a quick glimpse at Briana.
