About alisonmarie photography

Welcome to my blog! This is a great place to see my most recent work! I’m a 30-something, photographer, full-time designer, wife, & mom-to be. My husband & I were married in Aruba in 2009 and currently live in our home town with our two “manbeast” kitties, Shamis & Tucker (AKA “Fatty” & “Squeaks”). We love to spend most of our free time traveling to new destinations, dining out at fab restaurants, & drinking wine! Yes, I may also slightly be a wino. :o) I am a wedding & portrait photographer based in the Western Ma/Springfield area, but being a destination wedding bride myself, I would absolutely LOVE to travel for YOUR destination wedding! Thanks for stopping by & feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions! alison@alisonmariephotography.com

Not forgotten…

May 11th, 2012

As much as it broke my heart, I had to cancel a couple weddings this summer due to the little one on the way. Fortunately, I still had the honor of photographing these two couples’ engagements sessions!

Yes, both of these sessions were shot last fall (I am a bad blogger, I know!), but with both of their weddings quickly approaching, I wanted to share their images and give them a little shout out!!

Congratulations Kristin & Walter and Jenn & Larry!! I wish you all the best and hope that your weddings are as magical as you imagined!! :)

First up, Kristin & Walter’s engagement session at Noble & Cooley, Co. in Granville, MA. Originally we were supposed to do their session on Halloween weekend, but we were outsmarted by SNOW! Yep, that freak snowstorm that basically took down Western MA for about a week ruined our day. BUT we pushed our session back  a couple weeks and it worked out in the end. Here are my favs…

Next is Jenn & Larry’s engagement session in Suffield, CT…

Isn’t this tree Awesome??!!

I just loooooove the tabacco fields in Suffield. The way the light falls in the late afternoon is gorgeous!

Senior Portrait Facebook Contest!

April 17th, 2012

Hey soon-to-be seniors! It’s time to start thinking about your senior portraits! Have you scheduled yours yet? Here’s your chance to SAVE!

Alisonmarie photography is having a contest on our Facebook fan page to pick two (yes TWO!) senior portrait winners! Enter to win a FREE portrait session! A $199 value!

What’s included in the FREE session:

Here’s how to play:
Head on over to Facebook and tag alisonmarie photography in your status. Something like “I can’t wait to win a senior portrait session with alisonmarie Photography!” will do just fine! Be creative!  Make sure you “like” the alisonmarie photography page first and use the @ symbol in order for the tag to work.

Next, post a picture of yourself along with your name on our wall. It can be any picture that you want (I recommend you set the post to “PUBLIC” so people that aren’t your friend can vote ).

Elaina ~ Class of 2012

I have been DYING to post some of the images from this session for quite awhile now, but just couldn’t find the time! I had the pleasure of shooting Elaina’s high school senior portraits back in September (Eeeks! it’s now April!) & have come to the conclusion that I really love doing senior sessions! They are just so much fun & really allow me to be creative with my clients. Elaina was so great & did everything I asked her to do… even when I asked her to sit in the middle of a field on a vintage loveseat! I had so much fun! I even rocked her riding boots in order to let her borrow mine because she forgot hers.. wish I got a picture of that! LOL

Here are some of my favs!
