For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to what lives beneath the surface. The quiet in-between moments. The way light moves across open land. The feeling of standing somewhere and knowing, somehow, that it matters.

Over the last five years, I have had the honor of documenting weddings and families across the country, becoming known for a calm presence, intuitive eye and ability to preserve moments with honest and depth.

Photography became a way of holding onto those moments, and understanding my own life as it was unfolding - and a way of preserving what would one day be a memory.

Valley & Veil exists as a home for that work.

I'm Allie - The artist behind Valley & Veil. My work is rooted in legacy, place, and the quiet moments that shape us.

THE ARTIST

There came a season where everything began to change. Becoming a mother slowed me down in ways I never expected. My faith deepened. And the American West - its vastness, its stillness, its honesty - reshaped the way I saw the world, and my place within it. I began to appreciate the beauty in this becoming.

In the seasons that ask you to slow down. In the places that change you without warning. In the realization that the life you once knew is gently making space for something new. Valley & Veil was born in these moments.

A season of marriage where I first fell in love with the West.
A season of motherhood.
Of returning to my faith.
Of being drawn to the vastness of the land and the clarity it brings.

It taught me to see differently. To hold moments with more care. To recognize that what feels ordinary today will one day feel sacred iu memory. This work is not separate of that becoming; It is part of it.

The beauty of becoming.

art. adventure. cloud-kissed mountain summits. preserving the traditions of the great outdoors. the wild west. god's creatures. human connection. mother nature's landscapes. the hard-working backbone of america. golden hour.

Inspired By

My family and I are currently based between the East Coast and Mountain West where we are preparing to call home.

The landscapes there have become part of my story.

They have shaped the way I see light. The way I see stillness.
The way I see people. And the way I live.

It is in these places - and the places that holding meaning for you - that Valley & Veil continues to grow.

Place & Presence - Rooted in the West.

raw & uncut.

I believe that the moments you want to remember aren't always perfect or scripted, they are uncut and raw. I want to capture connection and the beauty that naturally unfolds on your day.

remember how it felt.

My goal is to capture a feeling, an emotion, your story. I thrive off of nostalgia and how photography can bring you right back to a moment, a feeling. I strive to provide my clients with memories. I want you to remember how it felt.

My Guiding Compass

rooted in love. rooted in nature.

honest storytelling.

rooted in love, rooted in nature.

Whether this is rooted in love or rooted in nature... I always capture the essence of the "where" and the "why." I truly believe that our environment shapes us and has an impact on our energy.
