Growing up, my family had portraits taken twice. Once when my siblings and I were very young and again when I was in 4th grade. Those portraits still have a place in my parents' home. However, I'm realizing now that there were so many missed opportunities to catch a moment in time that we'll never get back. My hope for my clients is that they take advantage of the here and now and value the memories while they are making them.

That's where we come in. Capturing a yearly family session, a high school senior's passion or the milestones of a little one's first year are just a few of the ways you hold tight to memories. Let us share these moments with you and give you something to cherish for years to come!

As a past senior and now a mother and wife, I realize just how important capturing seasons of life is. Nothing beats the photos I have of my son through his first year. The family portraits we have are, truly, some of my most cherished possessions. We want you to have those moments too! We want to provide a great experience along with those images.

The fall is when I feel the most at home, the holiday season is approaching as well as the start of all the major “lasts” highschool brings. Homecoming football games, pep rallies, dances are all better during the fall! There’s just something in the air, and I love how my photos capture the exact feeling it brings!

Alaina helped my mother and I to have so much fun with my senior session! I feel that all my pictures help to show my laid back personality. She made sure every shot was perfect which resulted in me loving every picture she took that day!

FROM THE SENIOR

Alaina captured beautiful photos of our family throughout our baby’s first year! She had unique and gorgeous locations for each session. She always got our pictures to us quickly so we could enjoy them right away!

THE RITCHEYS

from the family

Alaina always does such an amazing job! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our family session and did a great job with our little dog. She has such patience and is incredibly talented. 

THE KARCHERS

FROM THE COUPLE

Thank you for making our senior picture day fun and non-stressful! Senior boys are not always excited to get their pictures taken, but Alaina made our experience enjoyable! She had ideas and settings for our pics that I would have not even thought about, and as the mom I loved the final product!
