Allison Maxwell Photography central Arkansas child + family photographer I prefer real smiles, playing chase, quick kisses, and tickle fights. I want to help tell that story. Just checking).

I live for taking the picture because OH MY GOSH I NEED TO REMEMBER THIS MOMENT. I believe in letting them be young and wild and free. I think family photos should be FUN and RELAXED and GENUINE. No, I will not photoshop your skin into flawless perfection because the wrinkles tell your story. I started photographing babies + families in 2010, because I had a decent camera and I once took an intro to photography class in college. And naturally, that makes a photographer (do jokes translate on About Me pages? I had friends who trusted me with their special family moments, and with each session I grew in my craft. The more I practiced the more I loved it. There is an art and a science to photography, and I love the things I learn every time I pick up a camera. A few years into my venture, I was able to quit my day job and build a successful wedding photography business, based out of Richmond, Virginia. After some wonderful time on the east coast and a stretch of time in west Texas, I’m now back to where it all started with an intro to photography class – in Arkansas! I am excited to be introducing this business to the Natural State! A few extra things you about me: I am married to Jake and we have 2 girls and a Goldendoodle named Obu. I’m a major foodie, a cheap wine connoisseur, and always looking for a new adventure. Dark chocolate is the way to my heart, along with folky singer-songwriter Spotify stations. Once at a wedding I tripped backward over my camera bag and landed on my butt. You definitely want to know that. I am excited to learn about you!

Came off my morning workout feeling HOT with opinions

Unless you live under rocks (which honestly, sounds nice), you’ve probably read about AI being used in some pretty horrific ways.

I want to be very clear about something…

We are all in agreement that our number one priority as parents is to keep our kids safe.

Please understand: You have every right to hire a photographer and ask that your images be kept private.

You do NOT have to sign a model release.

You NEVER have to agree to your images being used in ways you don’t want them used.

You should NOT have to pay extra for declining to sign a model release.

I want you to know that I take this seriously. I am working on some updates to my contracts and business practices in order to address some of these concerns.

We’re all on the same team 🫶

Did somebody say PLAYFUL PORTRAITS?!??!?

Little Rock, we’re headed back to where this whole thing started: Carter | Miller Hillcrest !!

Our very first Playful Portrait pop-up took place at Carter Miller Hillcrest a few years ago. I fell in love with this portrait pop-up model and the families did too!!! So happy and grateful to be back. Thank you so much Carter | Miller Hillcrest for having me!!!!

Can’t believe this little man will be ONE soon!! Swipe to see his very first glamour shots 🥹

We took his mama’s maternity photos in one million degree weather, so it seems fitting to sweat our way through his birthday pictures 😅
