Allison is passionate about displaying family portraits in homes because she honestly believes it is essential to remind our children how important they are and how much they are treasured in this world.  Creating a home environment that makes our kids feel safe, loved and valued is essential to surviving the chaotic world our kids must navigate everyday and portraits are a large factor in creating a nuturing home.

"Displaying photos prominently in the home sends the message that our family and those in it are important to one another, and we honor the memories we have experienced,“ says Cathy Lander-Goldberg, a licensed clinical social worker.  “It says we love you and care about you. You’re important.”

Family portraits in the home have proven to help kids increase self esteem by reminding them that they are connected to something bigger then themselves.  When we display our family and children's portraits prominantely in our home we are sending a message to our children that they are the most important people in our lives.  

"If you want to change the world, go home and love your family."- Mother Teresa

Allison says, "Professional photography isn't just about taking a picture, anybody can do that. The goal when creating a portrait is to seek out the best in each person and capture that beauty for the whole world to see." 

Allison is always working on refining her craft and hopes to still be creating art when she's using a walker as a tripod. Allison is passionate about print competition because it constantly pushes her to improve her skill level and requires learning the continuously evolving technology of photography.  She has won countless local, regional and national awards throughout her 23 years of business and received may of the highest honors given from the Professional Photographers of America, Kodak, Fuji & Lexjet. Allison stays involoved in the photographic community acting as an International Photographic Judge, teaching photographers around the country, and serving on the Professional Photographers of America Board of Directors.  Often times you can find her teaching art and photography to kids around her home town of Park City, Utah.

The most important people in Allison's life are her 3 gorgeous children and her wonderful, loving & adventurous husband..... and S'mores, her cat.
