One of the coolest christmas presents I found for the boys was a giant bubble maker kit. It was meant for Dallon who likes it but Slater loves it. A perfect day to pull out the tilt shift lens

Where do I begin. So many fun images. Every shoot we do, it just gets better and better. Of course the first shoot I botched (years and years and years ago;)… it was such a great shoot except for every shot being blurry. So I kind of have no where to go but up. I always have a great time photographing them. And I just need Savvy to know that she has the most awesome hair in the whole world. It’s like my dream hair. I am serious Savvy. And Teanna always looks awesome. When I feel like I want to really put together an outfit, I think “how would Teanna do this”… that is no lie Teanna. I totally do that.
Ok so let’s check out their family photos. Teanna, whatever plan you had for your photo walls with our old sessions… throw them out. How will you ever choose from just these:) I think you need an addition on your house of just extra walls!




How fun was that???
Another family up that I have photographed many times. We might run out of locations soon:P We decided to go to USD and do this session. I have never done a session there and I think we found some great places to shoot. Tons of favorites of course…












As always you guys… super fun!
In the last few months I have decided to narrow my focus in photography to families because I love photographing families and all their interactions and cuteness and love.
But I also LOVE photographing high school seniors. I begged my parents to send me to modeling school when I was a teen… begged. They finally did and I got to do a model shoot and I was so happy. I didn’t even care about the modeling part, I just wanted to do a photo shoot. At one time in my 5 majors career of college, I was a fashion design major. But I couldn’t draw worth anything and so I quit and moved onto social sciences or something in a completely different direction. Many other things contribute to my love of fashion photography but with that…
I am so happy to announce Photography by Alison: High School Seniors. And to start it off, here is a model shoot with three friends complete with make up artist, hair and styling (done by another Allison and awesome friend). I don’t have all the details together nor is my website for seniors ready but I know these three girls are dying to see something from our session so I thought I would put a post together. I actually have a much bigger post that I want to do from this session but that will have to wait until I have everything ready.


Um Hello Jodie? … you’re looking amazing!


I would die and go to heaven (I’m pretty sure) if I had a picture like this of me at 17 or wait, 40… 40 would be better to have a picture like this. So expected at 17;)


Seriously Hayley… is this all you got??? (you know I am kidding!!!!!)
and a few evening looks… Ann made some of the skirts the girls were wearing, so cute!

Jodie, do you know how much I love this picture? It’s so old hollywood.

Girls, you were awesome and you look amazing! I have a gazillion more favorites. It was so much fun!
This little boy’s hair is the cutest ever. Such a darling, darling baby. As much as I love photographing newborns, I especially love photopraphing, being around, and watching new parents. Brand new parents. Like their first baby. I love seeing how connected they are over their brand new baby. It just brings back my own memories of when I had my first… 14 years ago. And maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because I have had a few newborns lately but it is so fun to watch. And these two were so into this little boy. But he’s a little doll baby so who wouldn’t be:)
This little guy actually gave us very short glimpses of being awake. The images of him awake lasted maybe 45 seconds if that. I’m not even sure where to start because I love them all.















This last one is just a candid but I love it. Thank you Simran and Vince for inviting me to photograph and capture the love you to have for your new baby.
