Hi dudes, I’m Ali!

**Can I third wheel?**
**I love Jesus, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Friends, House Plants, Target, dad jokes, tequila & board games.**
I have officially been pursuing photography since my sophomore year of high school, so 12+ years now?! Who knew I would become so thankful for being grounded that summer for a bad grade? (But please don’t tell my mom I said that.) I have, however, been interested in photography & old photographs since I can remember. I used to look through old photographs with my Grandma every chance I could. I loved the feeling it brought me of being able to transport back in time. A chance to essentially witness things I otherwise would have never been able to see.
As a kid I used to steal my mom’s camera & take photos of everything around where we lived. I got my first DSLR right before my sophomore year of high school & I haven’t put a camera down since. The thing about starting my photography journey was that I wanted to do it differently than everyone else. Let’s be real, it seems like anyone can take a photo nowadays. But I don’t want to take just a photo. I want to be able to display the real & authentic you. I want to be able to capture you & your story. My goal is to be your friend & celebrate along side you. My style has grown to be what I consider romantic, timeless, candid, elegant with a hint of mood. So if you want a photographer who is down to laugh, cry & celebrate with you, then I am your girl & I can’t wait to meet you.

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take”

Proverbs 3:6

The Girl Behind the Camera.

I am an AZ girl who moved to Michigan & a crazy cat/dog mom to Ruger, Aurora & Bear.

I am not afraid to admit that I am not the photographer for everyone.

I’m for those who want a moment captured, who love emotion & mood over technically correct. Those who aren’t afraid to have fun, move around & laugh at themselves. I am not your traditional rule book follower. I am starting to throw a lot of those rules out the window. I want to meet you & get to know your story. I am not afraid to say God is the reason for this gift & without him none of this would be possible. I am up to hop on a plane & travel anywhere to capture those memories for you to look back on for many years to come. I just really want to tell your story.

The amount of joy photography brings to me is indescribable. I am so thankful to each & every one of you. Without you even just looking at my website, none of this would even be possible. So go to that Contact page, tell me your story & let’s make some magic happen. I promise I will make the best third wheel.
