About

The images I create reflect the love, connection and transformation that relationships bring into our lives.

My partner and I live in a giant live/work loft with our young son. Every day with him brings us a different insight, a joy, a heartfelt moment, a celebration.

When my cameras are not in my hands, I often experimenting with a whimsical knitting project or cooking a new dish, eating or daydreaming about the next travel adventure.

I also dream about stories.

I first explored imagery through film. It wasn't long before I was drawn to the art of photography and personal storytelling. It was then that I was captivated by stills and the hands on process of creating images on paper.

Several years ago, my family came across an old camera that was stored in a trunk for more than 70 years. The camera contained a plate of film, untouched. When developed, we found an family portrait at a First Communion taken before they emigrated to the US from Sicily! Discovering this plate of film was otherworldly, a quiet memory that went back generations.

This fragile and surviving image is an affirmation to how powerful our stories are.

Fantastic Vision!

We are SO glad we budgeted for Allana's services! She was so professional during our wedding and really captured the vibe we were going for. She made our DIY backyard wedding look like a fairytale! She was so attentive and accommodating to our wishes and offered advice leading up to, on the day of, and even after the wedding. Our photos are so perfect, we definitely could not have asked for a better vision' she and her assistant captured every emotion perfectly! Only thing I wish I could have seen were the raw photos as well and I know we missed photos at sunset, but that is on us for for not making that a priority. She and her assistant were absolutely fantastic though. Everyone raved about her during and after the wedding for their professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm and we could not have been happier! Definitely book Allana if is in your budget. She is well worth it!

Allana was such a pleasure to work with! She is so talented and captures beautiful, artistic-looking, genuine moments. We worked with her for our engagement shoot and our 9/16/17 wedding and I can't wait for another opportunity to do so! She's so relaxed and enjoyable to be around, it feels like working with an old friend. We are so thrilled with our photos and feel like they perfectly capture the feeling of our wedding day!

From the moment we met Allana we knew that she was the perfect person to capture our wedding day exactly as we envisioned. She was fun to work with, a great listener, and a true artist. As a couple getting married in another state Allana was flexible enough to meet us around our travel schedule. The day of she and Meg were already there when we arrived, had scouted out the venue and were ready for our first look. They both put everyone at ease, despite a large family that had difficulty following directions. Our pictures arrived within 3 weeks after the wedding and they were more amazing than words can describe. We have received many compliments from other photographer friends to family who wish their wedding photos mirrored ours. Allana and Meg were able to share the story of our day through tremendous artistry and talent.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We were happy to work with the photographers at Magna Studios on a large scale wedding in Beverly this year. They were very approachable and easy to work with while we managed the event. They really worked as a team with us and the other vendors. We hope to work together again and we loved all the photographs too!

Alana is a wonderful photographer. Her portfolio clearly shows her talent but it is her sense of style that sets her apart.
