Blakeley Thrasher Photography

”As you stand at the precipice of the extraordinary, allow me to be the keeper of your heart's story. With every click of the shutter, let me weave the fabric of your birth story into a tapestry of emotions – a timeless reminder of the love, strength, and magic that brought your little one into the world. This is not just photography; it's a dance of hearts, a symphony of souls, and a promise to encapsulate the whispers of love that echo through the corridors of time.”

With me, you are gaining a "lifetime" photographer. I will be there to capture every precious memory. Whether it be your pregnancy announcement, gender reveal, maternity, labor + delivery, fresh 48's, newborn lifestyles, and updated family sessions. I will be there for it all.
I like to call myself a full-range family photographer. I do pregnancy announcements, gender reveals, maternity, labor + delivery, fresh 48, newborn lifestyle, and family sessions, indoors and outdoors. I fall in love with your little ones and watch them grow.

Holistic Nutrition

Hi, I’m Allie! I am a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner based out of Birmingham, AL. My story started with my sister being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at an early age. I watched her struggle with countless dead-end medical solutions and I became increasingly interested in the power of food. About the same time, I was diagnosed with PCOS and learned how to manage my symptoms and eventually reverse my condition with diet, lifestyle and supplementation. I went on to pursue a degree in Nutrition and multiple holistic certifications in order to serve individuals who long to dig deeper into their health and discover root causes of health concerns!​ My joy is to help those feeling lost in their health feel empowered and educated to meet all of their health goals!​
