As a self proclaimed happy hobbyist, Allison minimally explored photography in her college years but didn’t get serious about it until 2004. Since then, she has completed several 365 projects and enjoys documenting her family, husband and two daughters, with a lifestyle approach. Ideally her days would be spent with friends and family, coffee, chips and salsa, and of course her camera, a Nikon d700, and assortment of Nikon lenses, mostly primes.

I love this!!!
I love that you took pictures of so many things that happened during your day. Fantastic day in the life!
This is just perfect in every way! Can you do this every month?! <3
Oh Allison!!!! How many awe-inspiring images can you take in one single day??? Seriously, you are so incredibly talented!!
<3 Love love love these. What a brilliant depiction of one day. Inspirational!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the cat shots! Those can only be loved so much by someone who has been owned by a cat!
Wow, this was one of my very favorite CM posts. My favorite pictures are the ones that capture the beautiful mundane moments of every day life. I’ve never seen anything quite like yours! WOW!
The color of your black and white photographs are my favorite. Do you run an action on each one? Or do you change each of them in Photoshop? Any tips you can give me would be wonderful! I’m not a photographer but I love taking pictures of my children. Thank you!!
Hi Angela! I am a serial photo-shopper. I make adjustments in ACR, open in CS4, and then convert if I’m doing B&W. For these, I did a very simple and very unsophisticated conversion – converted to grayscale, added a little matte affect (in curves, anchor the lowest gridcrossing by clicking and then drag up the bottom line just a tad) and then I added a low-opacity warming filter 🙂 Really, really not sophisticated at all!
Awesome! I think I can do that. I make my adjustments in lightroom and then I have CS4 too, so I’m going to try this tonight. I really liked the matte look and the low-opacity warming. Honestly my favorite black and whites ever. Your pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
wow, this is an amazing documentary of your day!! I love how you incorporated your furry kids as well as your human kind!! <3 Lovely work Allison!!
Oh wow, Allison – these images are so amazing! You totally capture the ordinary in such a beautiful and unique way. I love your work!
I so need to do this! What great photos. I’m sure she’ll love looking back on this day 20 years from now.
Wow! This is the most authentic “day in the life” series I’ve ever seen. I love it! So well done. Your style is inspiring!
wonderful art! I love how photographers can make the most routine of routines amazing works of art!
