“It was so fun doing a shoot with you that wasn’t just staged photos!” - Kind words from a sweet family who won my giveaway session❣️

Becoming a mom has completely changed the way I photograph families.

I’ve learned that not everything has to be perfect to be to worth remembering.

Honestly, trying to make everything perfect was making me miss the moments that mattered most.

Motherhood has taught me that the most beautiful moments are often the ones you can’t plan.

And that’s exactly how I want to photograph your family, too.

I don’t want every little smile, laugh, and movement to be perfectly planned.

I want your kids to be kids, and your family to just be yourselves.

To run around, get a little messy, and forget there’s even a camera there.

Pizza sauce on their faces, grass stains on their knees, and the kind of belly laughs you can’t plan.

The boys wrestling when they’re “supposed to be smiling” for a photo.

The messy hair, the wild energy, and the little personalities that make them who they are.

Because real life isn’t picture perfect.

The rowdiness, the chaos, the never sit still moments…that’s childhood, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I don’t want your family photos to look like someone else’s idea of perfect.

I want you to look at them and think, this is us.

I want you to remember how it felt, not just how it looked.

So ten years from now, you can look back and feel like you’re right there in that season again.

The life you lived, the love you shared, and all the little moments you’ll wish you could relive.

So, what would you want to remember?

In a world that makes you feel like you have to be perfect...

What if you could just be...you?

“Pretty” photos mean nothing if you felt uncomfortable, awkward, or like someone you’re not.

I’m a big believer in showing up as you are...presence matters more than perfection to me.

So, if you’re bubbly and silly, let’s get a little wilddd. If you’re a little more introverted or don’t take photos often...let’s go soft and slow.

Who you book as your photographer matters just as much, if not more, than the photos themselves.

Photos are memories and if you had a bad experience while taking them...you’ll never like the photos.

So like the work...but love your photographer.

A little documentary, a little traditional…

Hi I’m Alana! I believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice a good experience for good photos. I’ll choose presence over perfection every time. Your wedding is meant to be felt, not meant to be a production.

If this sounds like your jam, shoot me a message. I’m booking weddings for 2027 in Ohio, Connecticut, and honestly anywhere your love may take me. ❣️

My dearest friend’s gender reveal picnic on a sunny Saturday down on the beach at Harkness Memorial.💙

They were so convinced they were having a baby girl, so the shock and happiness on their faces when they saw the blue icing couldn’t have been bigger!

Incredibly grateful to be apart of this journey with them.🥰

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. May your BBQ 🍗 be on point, your b**r cold, and your drives straight ⛳️.

It’s hard to believe this is Vinnie’s second Father’s Day. I always joke that the day he became a dad was the day he became a golfer. Coincidence? I think not.🤣One day we had a newborn, the next day there were special gloves, golf towels, and a wardrobe just for the course.

But in all seriousness, what I’ve learned watching Vinnie become a dad is that dads do so much more than they’re often given credit for. They’re jungle gyms, snack providers, adventure buddies, shoulder ride experts, bedtime storytellers, and somehow the designated “fun parent” even when they’re enforcing the exact same rules.

Juju absolutely adores her dad. The second he walks through the door, I’m basically old news. Watching their relationship grow over the last two years has been one of my favorite things.

Happy Father’s Day, Vin. Thanks for being the dad who always shows up, always makes her laugh, and somehow convinced yourself that golf is a personality trait. ❤️
