I’m just a girl who appreciates a good sunset, pretty green field, and exploring new places and I truly believe the sweetest moments in life deserve to be remembered forever.
Whether you need a third wheel capturing your love story or a personal hype girl cheering you on behind the camera, I’m there for it all. My heart behind this business is simple: to freeze the moments that matter most, exactly how they feel.
Hi, I'm Ally!
Like a lot of people, I felt unsure at times. But once I picked up a camera and started capturing real emotion, something clicked.
In early 2024, I officially started Photos With Ally at just 20 years old. After graduating in 2025 with a degree in Business Administration, I was able to take this dream even more seriously. While I still work full-time, photography is my creative outlet and favorite “side gig” that feels anything but small.
Born and raised in St. Mary’s County, I’m a Southern Maryland photographer with a deep love for nostalgia, connection, and real-life moments.
I first fell in love with photography in high school during a film photography class. There was just something about those old-timey, grainy, heartfelt images that stuck with me. I’ve always known I was creative, I just didn’t always know what that would look like for my future.
today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever // today, tomorrow, forever
I am a certified empath. If you propose, I’ll probably get emotional lol! I don’t want to just photograph moments, I want to experience them with you.
Compassion
Every session is approached with purpose, and whether you need advice, reassurance, or guidance, I’ll always be upfront and supportive throughout the process.
Intentionality
Raised in a southern Christian household, I was taught to treat others the way you want to be treated. Every session is a space where you feel valued and celebrated.
Kindness
The most beautiful photos happen when you feel like yourself. I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m always looking for the real, unscripted moments in between.
Authenticity
core values
I’m drawn to the in between moments, the quiet hand squeezes, the uncontrollable laughter, and the golden hour portraits. I don’t believe sessions should feel stiff or overly posed.
I care deeply about your comfort, your vision, and your story and I’m a sentimental person at heart. I truly cannot wait to meet you.
