Hi! I'm Ali. I'm a wedding, elopement, and intimate family and maternity photographer who believes there is (way) more to your session than taking pictures. Follow along with past love stories, special family moments (bumps, mamas, and growing littles), and personal adventures here!

the latest:

There is something really special about photographing people you know well. And, when our long-time friends and across-the-street neighbors reached out about documenting their intimate Vermont elopement in a wildlife refuge, I was honored to say yes. One of the things that made this Vermont elopement so special is how them it was. From the […]

I Should Have Taken More Pictures in Paris

Here’s the thing: I should have taken more pictures in Paris. But, when you’re basically going from morning espresso and croissants to wine with (for?) lunch and dinner with no idea when you’re getting home, carrying around an expensive piece of equipment felt more nerve-wracking than I expected. I also didn’t feel like being one […]

Colorful Bliss Ridge Farm Wedding // Vermont Wedding in the Mountains with M&N

Mallory and Neil’s October Bliss Ridge Farm Wedding was absolutely gorgeous. Mallory is a friend from high school (we’re continuing with the “photography keeps bringing people back into my life” theme!), and when she reached out about her Bliss Ridge Farm wedding at the beginning of October, it was an automatic yes! The first weekend […]

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 novel (IYKYK).

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?"
