Field notes

These are the little threads that weave your life together — the slow Sunday mornings, the barefoot kitchen dances, the way the seasons shape your days.
Stories gathered like wildflowers, one moment at a time.

“After searching through Instagram for Vermont photographers, we immediately resonated with Allison’s cool, casual, relaxed vibes. Getting family photos with a one year old has the potential to be a disaster, so taking the pressure off with a laid back shoot was our goal, and that’s exactly how it went. Allison has a warmth and […]

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to run a photography business as a mom like you don’t also have a child asking you to unwrap a cheese stick every six minutes. For a long time, I thought the problem was me. I thought if I could just wake up earlier, manage […]

Quick update from the bedtime trenches: It didn’t exactly get better. “Sit in my chair” turned into “rub my back,” which turned into “lay with me,” which turned into… seriously considering fully getting into bed with him. And somewhere in the middle of that slow slide, I had this realization: I think me being there […]

Listen, if there’s love and down-to-earth humans involved, odds are pretty good I’m already reaching for my camera. And goodness knows, if you’re getting married in Vermont, your options for intimate wedding locations are… plentiful. To say the least. You can opt for an elopement in the mountains, where the air feels a little thinner […]

I didn’t expect bedtime to be the thing that broke me [in that way that motherhood tends to do before it puts you back together again]. For almost two years, Henry has been the “put himself to bed” kid. We’d do our routine, tuck him in, and he’d just… drift off. No fanfare. No back-and-forth. […]

And there I was, headed north on I-89, experiencing a pain worse than childbirth (I do not kid, and I do not say that lightly). The popping in my ear was getting louder and had me thinking — with the very little bit of coherent thought I could muster — IT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING! This […]

Becoming a mother transformed the way I see and photograph the world — with a slowed-down feel focused on the sensory story of a life well-lived and even-more-loved.
I’m drawn to mediums that ask us to slow down—to notice light, rhythm, and what’s unfolding instead of what’s posed.
This is not curated perfection. This is memory made visible.
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, my kiddo, and a spicy romantic fantasy novel (IYKYK).
