    Alison is absolutely AMAZING.Yes, she is great with a camera. Of course. But her super-strength is being able to make our family comfortable and happy and relaxed so that when she takes our pictures, we look SO wonderful and close and happy together!

    I have four kids, so our family can be a nightmare to photograph, Alison is such a pro, she helped us have the best time and our images are GORGEOUS. I love looking at them on my walls, it brings me happiness every day.

    Alison is the most talented photographer I've ever seen.

    Alison Beachem is the most FABULOUS photographer. She has taken our family pictures every year for the past 8 years and her work just gets better and BETTER! She is always researching and her creativity with places and technique are truly inspirational. And yes! her patience and calmness allows a family to relax and be themselves. We so look forward to our pictures and are ALWAYS amazed and delighted.

    Alison Beachem is an amazing photographer. Her creativity, patience, and calmness allows the family to be themselves where she then is able to capture the true essence of the family. Her work is not just photographs. Her work is gifts, gifts that touch your heart each time you look at them.

    Alison has a great eye and wonderful composition skills. I have seen a lot of her work and every time the photos capture the personality of the people in front of her lens. She is able to create wonderful scenes of families and individuals that anyone would be proud to display and share!

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I photograph families of all ages, teens, and fashion. And that is about it. I specialize in these areas and have an expertise in each one because I focus my business on offering what I love and what I have photographed many many times.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. My only advice it to look at the style that I offer closely. It's specific. I am not a fan of family photos of everyone looking at the camera. I like the quirky aspects of a photo with some people looking and some not. If you want everyone looking at the camera and a more traditional approach, you will want to find a photographer that offers that.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I consider myself a relationship photographer and capture more of the inner workings of family members rather than what everyone looks like. I want to show you how beautiful your family is in a story.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Being the photographer of my own family, there aren't many photos with me in the images. I create the photos for other families that I wish I had of my own. What I offer to my clients is what I would want for myself (i do get this sometimes too:).

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Most clients ask how much it costs. The first thing anyone should look for when choosing a photographer is to look at the style of the photographer and make sure it matches with what you want of your family. Next, make sure that the middle package or collection offered is within your budget. I am the type of photographer that will show you a huge variety of photos of your family and you will want them all. So make sure that what you will want is within your budget. And generally, you'll spend a little more than you planned in your head.
