There are moments in our lives that define us. These are times that we will never, can never, forget. They help to shape us as individuals, and whether good or bad, help us become whom and what we will be.

My defining moment… the one that led me toward photography…began as a quiet summer day and ended as a terrible tragedy with my mother passing away.

In the years since that summer day, I have found myself searching for the truth of my mother in photographs…photographs she and my father had taken over the years, as well as ones her family had taken of her when she was just a teenager. The pictures brought my mother into focus and gave me a chance to understand a little more clearly who she was, what she experienced, and where she had come from.

"This moment" is what Alison Conklin Photography is all about. She feels honored to contribute to people’s understanding and enjoyment of their lives through photographs and creative work. Her hope is to allow them the peace and joy photographs can offer. Her work is to find the truth in each moment and to celebrate it.
