Hey there, so nice to meet you!
I’m Allie, the face behind Allie Silkwood Photography.
I'm a Bay Area native, a coffee addict, and I'm a mom to the most joyful little babe. Motherhood is the most beautiful + rewarding experience...it's the greatest privilege to help guide and teach her, to learn from her daily, and to love her so fiercely. And let's be real...it's a constant balance of finding myself and losing myself (daily)! I love venturing along the CA coast, finding the best coffee shops around town, chasing my daughter around as she is getting into all sorts of mischief, and my latest hobby -- attempting to perfect my sourdough bread skills.
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.
