About Alison

Hi, I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Nottingham and hold a Licentiate qualification in Photography (LSWPP) with the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP).

I photograph weddings primarily in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire but am also available to photograph weddings throughout the UK.

As well as wedding photography, I specialise in children’s lifestyle portraits in Nottinghamshire , Derbyshire and further afield throughout the UK (on request) 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 and for 2013 I embarked on a personal project with him - Project 52. Considering the amount of photos I take of him, he is very co-operative and I know how lucky I am.  Like all parents, however, there are days when I have to bribe him a little;-)

My photography style is influenced by fashion. By this, I mean that I aim to capture the whole package in a photo so as well as the person or people being being photographed in the best light, I take into consideration the clothing and location so that it all works together. I love looking through fashion magazines and scouting new places out for photo sessions. I’m definitely a people person and portraits in any genre will always inspire me.

Although fashion and children don’t go hand in hand,  these are the two elements that I feel contribute to the flair of 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 and sparkle of Christmas.
I’m a chocoholic.
My favourite TV programmes are The Wright Stuff and Sex in the City – not comparable in anyway but always watchable!

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 me too. If you would like to discuss commissioning me for your wedding or portrait, please contact me.
