Alison took photos for my baby shower. When I first inquired about her availability, I like that she asked questions about what I wanted. She arrived on time, made sure she understood what I wanted. She took beautiful candids of the blessing ceremony and there was enough time for posed photos. She asked guests if they wanted photos which I really appreciated and checked in with me before she left to make sure I got all of the photos I wanted. The photos came out beautiful. Thank you Alison!

Details: Bridal or baby shower • 25 - 49 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download
