Hi, I’m Ally 

photographer and founder of Freetide Photo.

With over a decade of photography experience, my goal has always been simple. I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself in front of the camera. I know how vulnerable it can feel to be photographed, especially if you’re nervous or unsure what to do. That’s why I guide you through the entire process so nothing ever feels forced or awkward.

​

I specialize in creating sessions that feel more like an experience than a photoshoot. We laugh. We move. We capture the in-between moments. The ones that matter most.

​

I’m also the owner of Freetide Creative, a social media and photography agency where I work with brands to create strategic, story-driven content. Through that work, I’ve developed a deep understanding of storytelling, emotion, and capturing people in a way that feels authentic and natural. Freetide Photo is an extension of that same philosophy, focused on individuals, families, and life’s most meaningful milestones.

​

My goal is simple. To create images you don’t just see, but feel.

What Makes Freetide Photo Different

This is not about stiff poses or forced smiles.

It is about creating an experience where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. Where your kids can be kids. Where you can relax, breathe, and trust the process.

​

Clients often say their biggest surprise is how easy and enjoyable the session feels. And how they end up loving every single image.

Because when you feel comfortable, it shows.

And that is where the magic happens.
