About Me

The person behind the camera.

Hey, I’m Ali.

Long Island raised. Myrtle Beach based. Lover of coffee, bad jokes, and storytelling through a lens.

I’m a boy mom, a Goldendoodle wrangler, and a proud LEOW. My life is full of love, chaos, and sandy toes—just the way I like it. Motherhood has taught me patience, coffee has fueled my creativity, and being part of the law enforcement family has given me a deep appreciation for capturing time as it is—because life moves fast.

For almost ten years, I was deep in the insurance world—burned out, exhausted, and feeling like something was missing. It was a career that took more than it gave. Then, I took a leap. I left behind the career I had built, moved 772 miles from my hometown, and picked up my camera full-time. It was the best decision I ever made.

Photography isn’t about stiff poses. It’s about connection. Feeling. The in-between moments that make life beautiful.

No forced smiles. No awkward silences. Just real, authentic memories—captured forever.

My Clients Love Me!

Natalie F.
We had such a wonderful experience with Alessandra Nicole photography for our family pictures at the beach! She was so great to work with and was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and everything we wanted for our session. She was also so patient with my 19-month-old niece, who was definitely not having it that day, and still managed to capture such beautiful photos! We are so happy to have these beautiful pictures of our family in one of our favorite places. We highly recommend her and are so thankful for the memories she captured for us!

We’re obsessed with our photos from Alessandra! She met us right at our hotel so we could roll our little family straight out of bed and on to the beach. She was so sweet and patient and with our 1 year old and made the whole experience fun and easy. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous; a perfect little piece of our vacation to keep forever! We'll be scheduling a shoot with her again next time we visit town.

She captured some magical photos of our family! Afterwards, she worked hard to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the results. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her services.

Alessandra is great to work with and is very accommodating. We had a large group of extended family for pictures and Alessandra did a great job making this session happen. Very professional and responsive. We loved our photos and so glad we booked with Alessandra.

From the time I started talking to her on Facebook I knew I would love her work! She took so much time talking to me weeks before the shoot, any questions or advice I needed. Her communication is 100%. She made the photo shoot itself fun and enjoyable! Her picture editing is spectacular! I would recommend her 100%!!!
