I followed my heart and it led me here.
I have been a professional photographer for more than 20 years.
This is a collection of stories I have captured, created, and told over the years. As a professional photographer and a professional creator of any type, I believe it is c r u c i a l to have a space set aside for your heart’s happiest, most soul-filling work.
This is a place where there are no rules to creating, no limiting of sharing, no themes to follow - just photographs that remind me of the magic of being a photographer.
I followed my heart, and it led me here.
Why “Allyson Louise”? A great-great aunt I see in old family photos, a beloved grandmother, an aunt full of life, and a niece I adore - all share something in common with me: Louise - my middle name. It is the thread that holds generations of women who love fiercely together.
This is a collection of stories; my stories.
I hope these stories inspire and encourage you, but most of all, I hope they ignite in you the light that so often burns out along the way. May this space encourage you to create a place meant for your heart’s work - a place of freedom.
