Kristie Allen Photography

I’m a Birmingham, Alabama native, and I truly believe it’s one of the most beautiful and friendliest places in the world.

I run on coffee — about six cups every morning, to be exact.

I’m an avid reader who loves almost any genre (except romance and horror). A few of my all-time favorites are A Gentleman in Moscow, What Alice Forgot, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

When it comes to charcuterie boards, I’m obsessed. Holidays aren’t complete without my own personal board that I don’t have to share (and I’m definitely not kidding).

Summer is my season. Give me heat and sunshine, and I’m happy.

Yard work? Yes, please. I can spend hours mowing, trimming, and digging in the garden — and it never gets old.

I’m also a bird lover. You’ll often find me sitting in the yard with binoculars and my trusty Alabama Bird Book.

Even though I’m terrified of heights, I push myself to go indoor climbing a few times a year. I just can’t let fear win.

My photography journey started young — when I was 4 years old, to be exact. My first “models” were my dolls and stuffed animals, and my tool of choice was a Polaroid. In school, I was rarely without a camera in my hand. But it wasn’t until my daughter was born that I considered turning my passion into a career.

After taking a course at The Birmingham School of Photography and attending countless online classes and workshops through ClickCommunity (formerly ClickinMoms), I officially launched my business. Ten years later, I still love capturing precious moments just as much as I did back then.

I’d love to get to know you and help capture the moments that matter most!
