About
I'm an award-winning photographer with years of experience in capturing the moments that matter most! I specialize in portrait photography, but no project is too big or small. The name of my studio, Heliantha Photography, comes from the scientific name for a sunflower, "Helianthus." Like sunflowers, which will actually turn to face the sun, I'm driven by finding the best light possible to capture portraits and products. I'm passionate about my work, and strive to understand and communicate your vision exactly as you imagine it.

I came to Ali at Heliantha Photography with an idea to do a film noir photo shoot to give my husband a special portrait for our 30th anniversary. Ali immediately understood what I was striving for. She was very encouraging and made several suggestions to improve on my initial idea. Ali put me at ease and made the photo shoot fun. The finished result was incredible and vastly exceeded my expectations. I had a difficult time deciding which amazing photo to choose for the portrait, so I ended up ordering a portrait and a photo book. Ali helped me with all of it and delivered all of the images within the timeframe I needed. If you want a special photo, I highly recommend Ali and Heliantha Photography.

Ali was very welcoming and she took wonderful professional portraits of me to update for Linkedin. Sitting for headshots are always awkward and remind you of sitting for horrible yearbook photos but she made you feel relaxed by having conversation and music/ tv playing in the background. I will wok with her again for another shoot in the future.

Ali is very professional and fun to work with. She guided me through a lot of my poses, which really helped the pictures turn out great. She knows what she's doing better than any other photographer I've worked with. There's no need to be nervous around Ali, because she has this way of making you feel at ease. All while shooting in a very crowded public area like the Tidal Basin during cherry blossom season. There's no doubt in my mind that Ali and I will be working together again. You should too.

Ali was great to work with! Good at putting her "subjects" at ease. She had a lot of ideas for backgrounds, settings and poses, and gave us plenty of time to try different positions throughout the office. We came away with lots of options to use. Thanks, Ali!
