Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here.


I’m a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Lake Benton, Minnesota, serving families, seniors, growing mothers, and women celebrating their confidence through boudoir sessions across Minnesota and South Dakota. My work is rooted in connection, natural light, and storytelling, creating images that feel like real life, not just poses.


Whether we’re documenting the chaos and love of family life, the excitement of senior year, the quiet anticipation of motherhood, or the strength and beauty of a boudoir session, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel like you.

Lifestyle Session

 

"I am absolutely obsessed with how our mommy and me session turned out! There are simply no words to express how amazing Allie is as a person and a photographer, and she works so well with kids! Will most definitely be doing more sessions in the future! Contact Allie for all of your photography needs! She’s amazing!"

Zuri + Travis

Maternity + Fresh 48 Sessions

 

"Allie has been there to photograph my recent life milestones, all of my pregnancy journey, the fresh 48, and family photos! She brings the energy! I am always MORE than satisfied and happy with her work and the photos she sends back. From capturing the perfect poses to the best candid moments. When my family and I want moments captured Allie is who we go to!"

Alexis + Ty

Milestone Session

 

"Allie is phenomenal to work with! She did a 2 year old photo session for my daughter’s birthday, and she nailed it!

She was patient with my toddler, came with snacks and toys to win her over, and had great ideas for us to get the most out of our session! My daughter is very weary around strangers, but warmed up to Allie pretty fast and loved her!

The session itself was amazing, but the pictures were even better! The gallery and details that Allie captured were perfect, and I will definitely cherish them!"

Carly + Christian

Engagement Session

 

Allie is so great to work with, she makes the whole session very fun! Coming from someone who is not very photogenic she made me feel very confident! She brings so much energy into the session that makes you feel very comfortable like you have known her forever! She also captured the most beautiful moments for me and they turned out better than I could have imagined! I will definitely be booking her for future milestones
