What others are saying about Allison Patel Photography:


“We hired APP to do a family shoot for us, with our baby. Baby’s schedules are never really predictable, nor are their moods. APP was very flexible with our schedule (Asher kept sleeping!), and she gave him time to get used to the camera… We were worried that the shoot and resulting pictures would feel forced or unnatural. That was so far from the reality of our session! It was fun, easy going, and natural. Your directions were easy to follow and you captured our personalities in the pictures.” – Ananda


“You know how to photograph life in a way that is authentic and tells a story. You captured some precious moments. I love how you don’t manufacture the perfect moment, you are just there for when it happens.” – Dave


I usually like to use recommendations when hiring professionals, and my biggest fear was that,
being brand new to Richmond, I was picking based on website, examples and cost. The correspondence leading up to the session, the session itself, and the follow-up to the session were all seamless. During a very busy time with a lack of sleep, Allison made capturing my 12-day old infant easy and non-stressful.
My favorite part of the session was that my daughter was alert and happy throughout (once we took a feeding break!). I’m so glad to have these early-day images. She’s already grown so much since this shoot. – Dori
