meet allison lewis

my life as a birmingham wedding photographer kind of snuck up on me unexpectedly. yes, i had always been that girl – the one who loved to tote a camera nearly everywhere she went – but after six years of school for business and education degrees, it seemed only logical that i would enter the working world with a day-timer rather than a nikon. when the first of our four children was born, though, my passions shifted a bit and i found myself returning to my first love.

before i knew it, i was using my camera to capture moments in the lives of not only my own little people, but in those of hundreds of other families around me. and so was born allison lewis photography.

three years into business and after agreeing to shoot a friend’s wedding, i fell in love with bridal photography as well. meeting, talking, and laughing with a bride and groom, helping to plan the vision for an amazing wedding, and capturing the first day of that couple’s new life together…it just doesn’t get much better than that.

my style

simple. unscripted. pure. when i started this business in 2007, those are the words that i kept coming back to to describe my photography.  i love a beautifully posed portrait as much as the next gal (and there’s certainly a time and place for those types of pictures), but what really makes my heart leap is the emotion that’s wrapped up in each session i shoot. for wedding photography, it might be captured in the faces of a bride and groom as they commit their lives to one another forever. and for family lifestyle photography, it’s often seen in the uninhibited laughs of little children. but regardless of how it expresses itself, my goal is to freeze those emotions in time so that you can relive them over and over again through the memories captured in your photographs.

simple. unscripted. pure. that’s who i am and those are the qualities that i’ll bring to your photographs. thank you sincerely for choosing allison lewis photography.
