Timeless stories, thoughtfully told
Based in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, available worldwide
& Portrait photographer
DC area Family, Wedding
From headshots to graduation, branding to milestone events, I bring a calm, detail-oriented presence to every session. Clean, timeless images that feel like you — and stand the test of time.
Portraits & Events
Your wedding day is one of a kind — your photos should be too. With a thoughtful, unobtrusive approach, I capture the beauty of your day as it naturally unfolds, preserving the quiet moments and joyful celebrations alike.
Weddings
With a calm and thoughtful approach, family sessions are designed to reflect the heart of your home life — the way your children laugh, the way you hold each other close. I offer both full family sessions and a Milestone Collection for documenting baby’s first year with intention and ease.

Alexi-noelle
She was so warm and friendly and instantly made our whole family feel at ease. From the moment I reached out, she responded right away and made the entire process seamless to book and coordinate.
She really understood the look and feel we were going for—and absolutely nailed it. We had a lot of moving pieces (a newborn, a 6-year-old, and our crazy pup!), yet she somehow managed to capture beautiful photos of all of us. The final images turned out even better than I had imagined."
We had such a wonderful experience working with Allison!

The studio was beautiful, seamless session, and beautiful photos!
My love for photography began as a small child watching my grandmother—an amateur photographer herself—follow me around with a camera. I picked up a DSLR for the first time at 16 years old, and the rest was history. Based in Old Town Alexandria, I specialize in family, wedding & portrait photography in the DMV area.
I believe the best photos come from real moments — authentic, effortless, and true to you. My approach is a balance of guidance and observation, creating a comfortable space where you can feel at ease while I capture the in-between moments that matter most. Whether it’s a wedding, family session, or baby's milestone, my goal is to document your story with a timeless, natural style that reflects who you are.

We recently had the most wonderful experience with Allison Heise for our newborn family portrait session. Just one week after our baby's birth, she came to our home something we deeply appreciated, especially during such a delicate and busy time. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.
Beautifully captured such a special, fleeting moment in our lives.
