Hello, I'm Allyson, and I'm the Rainbow Baby Photographer
Rainbow babies are babies that are born after a child or pregnancy loss. Child and pregnancy loss is something many families suffer through in silence, so my goal is to bring more awareness to how common loss is and how to support families who have experienced it. I also aim to help these families celebrate their new addition to their family while still honoring the ones lost too soon. I am a mom to two rainbow babies myself!
More about me...
I am so excited you're here! Photography is absolutely a passion of mine, but even more so, my family is my pride and joy! I have been married to my husband Fernando for 6 years, ! have 5 kids (3 bonus and 2 bio), and 2 energetic dogs.
I grew up in San Antonio, Texas up until I went to college at age 17 in College Station at Texas A&M University. My love for photography started in high school and carried on into college, but at the time I was more of a nature photographer. I loved photographing flowers, landscapes, and the like.
When I graduated college and moved to Houston, my youngest sister asked me to do her senior photos. She was my first human subject, and I thought the photos were SO good! Thankfully, I've grown since then. However, that shoot kickstarted my whole career! Her friend liked her photos that she asked if I'd do hers too, and then another person asked me to shoot their wedding, and then more and more people started asking for sessions!
So, here I am, 16 years later, creating art for people and capturing precious memories for life-changing events. And of course, as a photographer, I love taking pictures of my family and having shoots done with them! Like you, I want to make sure these moments are captured as well.
