I started my photography business after my husband gifted me my first full-frame camera. His intention was two-fold - support my love of taking photos and also encourage me to take photos of him at the race track with his cars. After doing that + random sessions on the side for about a year, I photographed my first wedding and realized that I wanted to do more with this "photo thing". ALP was born, and here I am, over eight years later, so dang happy I took the leap!
My style of photography matches how I aim to live my life: vibrant, genuine, colorful, intentional, and adventurous. Traveling is a big part of my husband and I's relationship - we greatly enjoy exploring new places and have frequent conversations about our next bucket list location. Being out in nature, visiting unique and special places, brings us such joy - like camping along the North Shore, hiking up a mountain in Alaska, or diving off a sail boat in Santorini, Greece. The world is full of wonderous places, and through photography, I hope to inspire you to get out there and wander.
Despite having the travel bug, I also really value and want to highlight the beautifully average parts of life too. Taking photos isn't just for the big moments - it is for the small moments too. The day-to-day exchanges. The inside jokes. The trials and hardships. The average Sunday afternoons on the couch watching football. Our days are filled with a mixture of ordinary and extraordinary, and both moments deserve to be captured, remembered, and cherished. Whether you are looking for a photographer to be there for your elopement or snuggling your kiddos on the couch, I'm here to document those memories with you!

Hope these give you fun ideas to inspire your next adventure, and if you want to plan a trip to these places + hire me to be your photographer I would seriously love to connect!
