Take a deeper look at this Smugglers’ Notch Family session with the Markwardts and Lyons families.

What is better than an evening fishing and spending time with families in the beautiful Snugglers’ Notch area? When Dana reached out to share more about her vision for this session with her husband, son, and their extended family, I was so excited to work with them.

I love meeting families who vacation here in the Vermont mountains—especially if they’ve been coming here for a while or have a special reason for visiting the area. Dana went to school here and never got the chance to explore the Green Mountains the way she wanted to—so, her entire family made a point to spend a week here in September. They were blessed with gorgeous weather and images they can look back on to remember this season of life and this gorgeous state!

Here are some of my favorite images from this Smugglers’ Notch family session.

Plan Your Own Vermont Mountain Family Session

I call my family, maternity, and newborn sessions “Storytelling Sessions” because that is exactly what they are.

Together, we plan a session that encapsulates the season of life you want to document. I’ll ask specific questions to help you brainstorm the most important moments, memories, locations (like Smugglers’ Notch!), and feelings you want to remember.

You’ll have a chance to tell me more about the kind of images you’re most drawn to and the things that inspire you, and share any images you’ve seen and loved. Then, we’ll work together to plan outfits and choose a location and time that best represents your family and the story you want to tell.

Love stories? Here's mine!

My style behind the lens: Whether I'm looking for bugs with your kiddos, snuggling your newborn while you change outfits, or exploring Vermont nature with you and your love, your session will feel fun, effortless, and like you're hanging with a friend.

My style behind the image: With a nod to classic film and a vibrant punch, my photography style is a little grainy, a little earthy, and always nostalgic.  

My style behind the books: When I'm not taking your picture,
I'm probably snuggled up with my dogs, kiddo, and a spicy romantic fantasy (IYKYK).

Hi, I'm Ali.

I describe my style as, "a little grain, a little pop of color, a lot of wild love."

As you explore, ask yourself "can I see myself in these images?"
