Allison's Background
Photo Credit: J M. Frania Photography
My interest in photography began at age 12; when I first looked at the crisp, clean pictures created by a Canon 1D Mark IIN at the hands of Dennis Cuevas (then Owner and Operator of Race Day Photo). It was a level of clarity that I had not yet experienced, and a 6 year apprenticeship with him opened up a whole new world for me.
In addition to time spent on motorsports photography, I have learned the art through formal courses in high school involving both film and digital mediums, workshops, forums, expos, and my own experimentation; and continue to live for new experiences and challenges.
Photography is my method for highlighting and sharing the beauty around us... from everyday subjects; to those you need to travel to see, and helping others to preserve memories from their past. In just one frame, you learn about someone's personality, how they are feeling... how much someone or something means to someone... how warm and inviting that freshly baked dessert is... or how windy or peaceful weather conditions are. In my opinion, the biggest challenge and draw in photography is capturing a story in one frame.
When "not holding a camera", I can be found working as an RN, rock climbing, spending time with my significant other (John), hiking, or visiting with friends or family.
I would love to share my passion with you; whether through:
Decorative Wall Prints or Note Cards
Restoration and Curation of Aging Album Photos
OR
Matting and Framing your Photos
