Hello! Hello!
I'm Alana.
You're probably here because you want to know what you're getting into, especially if you're bringing me around the people who mean the most to you.
no shame. I get it, I would be doing the same exact thing.
SO, WHAT I AM LIKE?
Instead of me saying I'm this and that (because how genuine is that really?), I asked a handful of family and friends to describe me in two words. This is what they said:
-CONFIDENT + UNDERSTANDING
-COURAGEOUS + CAREFREE
-CREATIVE + SPONTANEOUS
-METICULOUS + PRESTINE
-adventurous + outgoing
-Curious + Charismatic
-loyal + sweet
-positive + outgoing
"Tons of compliments from family and friends that you felt like just another family member."

"Everybody was talking about how great my photographer was and how you were jamming and hyping everybody up. Tons of compliments from family and friends that you felt like just another family member who happened to be taking pics. So thank you so much truly truly can’t express it."
CAPTURING THE ART OF YOU
I have been exploring the creative world of photography since 2020 and have been shooting weddings since the early part of 2022. I'm not going to go on and try and convince you about how much I love what I do because to me that's just scratching the surface. Yes, working for yourself has its pros, but I'm not here to talk to you about that. I’m here to tell you how powerful photography is in creating and harboring connection.
To me photography is not all about the technicality of one's equipment, it's not about hitting quotas, or even becoming famous in this world where going viral = success. To me it's rather about being able to foster meaning and connection with you. To share stories together, whether good or bad, but to rejoice in knowing that we are not all that different from each other. That at our core we all experience similar joy, sadness, excitement, boredom, love, anger, hope, and so and so forth. We all experience the human condition and there's something to note in that.
