About Alli

I was just a kid the first time I picked up a camera and noticed that it felt right. I cut my teeth on taking photos for my middle school yearbook and newspaper. By the time I was in high school, the age of Instagram rolled around and I was able to share my creations with others. That was when I realized hey, I'm pretty good at this! I was able to gain invaluable expertise taking photography classes while attending Appalachian State University for education. While I've spent the last five years as a high school teacher, I never stopped photography as a side hustle. In 2022, I decided to take a break from teaching to become a full-time photographer. I am passionate about capturing the beauty of God's creation, using my craft to celebrate life and love and every unique thing about being a part of this incredible world. I can't wait to help you highlight what makes your world wonderful, too!

My lovely family. Mom, Dad, 3 Sisters, and 1 Brother-in-Law. We have added a few little ones since this photo was taken -

my son Mac and my nephew Luke!


No page about me would be complete if I failed to mention my fur son Axl and our love of the North Carolina coast.

Our Wedding Day! Michael and I absolutely love the mountains so it only made sense to have our wedding in the gorgeous hills of Banner Elk, NC.
