Alli will forever be our family’s photographer for many reasons- her exceptional skill is obvious but the way she connects with us to make us feel comfortable, crack a few genuine smiles is worth her weight in gold!! My husband was initially hesitant about photos with our first baby- he’s just not the dress up and pose type, nor am I. When he heard Alli was meeting us at his favorite fishing spot for some candid photos he was all in. The photos came out gorgeous despite the bugs, the crying fit from our then one year old, and my very pregnant self waddling around the shore. Somehow she made me look like I was floating on the water without a care in the world- and caught Rocco smiling in nearly every shot. Flash forward to our most recent shoot, we arrived 10 minutes late, a little disheveled, cranky and boogery. Alli did not hurry us- instead she took the time to connect with the kids, making games up as she worked her magic. I look forward to continuing to share special moments with Al as our photographer and have already recommended her to my family members. It’s a shame she’s such a talented photographer or else I would beg her for child care (LOL)!
