![]() ![]() Apart from the photographs she made, Cotton left little material trace of a life that spanned nine decades (she died in 2003). The Lord continues to be faithful through this creative journey, and my hope is for people to see Him through my work.A lover of photography since childhood, by the time Olive Cotton, who was born in Sydney in 1911, was in her twenties she was already creating the pictures that were to define her as one of Australia’s foremost women photographers, although this would not be acknowledged until the 1980s. Photography has taken me places and given me opportunities I never could have dreamed of. We already can’t imagine our lives without our little guy and we cannot wait to continue this life with him!! I am now living in Wichita, Kansas with my husband, Cooper, and our son Clark who was born in July of 2021! We are loving this new season of parenthood - the good, and the hard. Moving across the country with just my camera and my suitcase allowed me to develop more than I ever expected as the importance of focusing on my relationship with the Lord and where He is leading me became evident in a way I had never experienced before. While there, I was stretched creatively as I focused on their photo, video and social media presence. Additionally, I was given the opportunity to move to San Diego for a summer and work for Bob Goff’s nonprofit, Love Does. I have now been taking pictures for my clients for about eight years, and my business continues to grow right before my eyes beyond what I had ever imagined–so thank you to all of you! Aside from my own photography, I had the honor of working for Randy Coleman Photography for five years where I was mentored by one of the best photographers I know. ![]() From my Barbie camera, to wanting to be the one recording home videos (I have always preferred filming others rather than being filmed), to my now professional cameras, I have always had a passion for creativity and art through a lens. Something that brings the biggest smile to my face is photography! For as long as I can remember, I have loved having a camera in my hand. ![]() My name is Allison, some people call me Allie, but most call me Als. ![]()
