HEY! I'm Ally. Full name Alessandra which is prettier but no one calls me that. Born and raised right here in South Jersey, I'm now raising my babies in the same town I grew up in. I've been with my high school sweetheart John for 15 years and we're raising three kiddos 10 and under. My music taste varies from Led Zeppelin to Lil Wayne to Arctic Monkeys to Dave Matthews & Steve Miller band. I'm the oldest of 9 kids and have always been pretty stubborn yet self sufficient and determined. In fact- this whole business stemmed from once telling my husband "there's no way I could be good enough at photography to become professional" -ha! You're in good hands- I'm a perfectionist.
I could tell you all about how I've always had a camera in my hand (I have, my first camera was a Kodak digital camera in middle school- remember taking selfies and loading them for Myspace? Gosh I was so glad to have my own camera & not have to use my friends) ANYWAY- my passion for this business stems from living vicariously through my client families by providing the service I wish I had as a new mom. You can be real with me while you're here- I'm going to tell you you're doing fantastic, because spoiler alert- you are. Good moms are the only ones who care about being a good mom. Come book a session and we'll yap about all we have in common. Can't wait to meet ya!
With love,
Ally

STUDIO LIGHT
Our light & airy/white corner creates truly breathtaking images that focus solely on the connection between your sweet family vs a ton of clutter and props in the photo. These images simply never go out of style.
We are experts in studio lighting. What does this mean? We aren't solely relying on a sunny day to create the best lighting for your images. Nothing is worse than rescheduling because its a gloomy day.
By inclusive, we mean we provide it all! Our New Jersey portrait studio is a one stop shop providing hair & makeup services, client closet with 200+ options for mom and babies, and cutting edge lighting equipment to create the perfect shot.

KIND WORDS
I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Ally! From the moment I arrived at the shoot, she made me feel completely comfortable & confident. Maternity photography can be such a vulnerable experience, but she creates an environment that is so warm & full of joy. Her eye for detail, lighting, and posing is just incredible — every single shot captured the love and excitement of waiting for a new joy to come into the world. The photos are not only stunning but also incredibly meaningful. They feel like art and emotion wrapped into one. Thank you so much Ally - your kindness and warmth (and amazing banter), it made me feel so extremely special during such a special time!
