About Alison

Hi, I’m a wedding and portrait photographer in Nottingham. I photograph weddings primarily in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire but am also available to photographs throughout the UK. I also photograph portrait sessions in Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire which take place on location (i.e. at a country park or at home).

I am a mum to my gorgeous son whom you will see in my portrait portfolio or regularly appearing on my blog. I am constantly taking photos of him throughout the year. Considering the amount of photos I take of him, he mostly plays ball and is very co-operative but as he’s got older he’s (not surprisingly) created “no photography allowed” days so I do have to bribe him a little;-) As I keep telling him, he will thank me for it when he’s older!

It’s difficult to give my photography style one genre but I would say it’s a blend of contemporary classic and documentary which is influenced by fashion. I love looking through fashion magazines and scouting new places out for photo sessions. I’m definitely a people person and photos with people in them will always captivate me more than a landscape.

Although fashion and children don’t go hand in hand,  these are the two elements that I feel contribute to the flair to my style.  My son reveals my heart and fashion dresses my style;-)

Photography is very personal so straying slightly from traditional bios, here’s a little more you might you like to know about me:-

My family are also my friends and mean the world to me.
Outdoors + my son + camera = a perfect day.
One of my ambitions is to write a novel.
No matter how many black dresses I buy, there’s always another around the corner that I will want just as much as the others!
My favourite movie star from the 50’s is Audrey Hepburn.
I love a hot climate but also enjoy the warmth of Christmas.
Chocolate is never far from my side.
Having had a cat allergy for about 15 years, we added a beautiful Birman cat to our family and the allergy vanished.

Thank you for taking the time to view my website. I hope you like what you see in my portfolio and that have you gained some insight into my personality too. If you would like to discuss commissioning me for your wedding or portrait, please contact me.
