Hey there, so nice to meet you!
I’m Allie, the face behind Allie Silkwood Photography.
I'm a Bay Area native, coffee enthusiast, and mama to the happiest little one. Motherhood has been the most beautiful and rewarding journey—it’s an incredible honor to guide, teach, and grow alongside her, learning something new every day and loving her with my whole heart.
I love exploring the California coast, hunting down the best local coffee spots, keeping up with my adventurous toddler, and most recently, diving into the art of baking sourdough bread (still a work in progress!).
I have loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember. As someone who has always been fascinated by people and art, I received my B.A. in Psychology from California Baptist University in 2020. My background in psychology has shaped my work in photography as my desire in all sessions is to capture your family's most authentic love and connection. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of capturing every detail of our little loves -- these moments are fleeting + sometimes a photograph is the only way to do just that.
My work is a combination of posed portraits with an emphasis on lifestyle candid photos, which come together to create a cohesive gallery filled with depth, beauty, and connection.
To those whom I have not met yet -- I am so thankful you're here and I would love to help tell your story.
