Allison Corrin Photography
Serving Kansas City and Surrounding Areas
“As a lifestyle and documentary photographer, when you step in front of my camera, I’ll ask you to whisper, dance, snuggle, kiss. Yes, I’ll look for that moment when you’re all looking at the camera, smiling and happy, but more importantly, I’ll listen for what’s real, asking you what’s precious about each other, when you fell in love, what makes you laugh uncontrollably, where your happy place is. See, my hope is not just to snap a quick photo of bodies posed, eyes pointed forward, but to let my lens share the words of stories only you can write, the story of your one beautiful life.”
