Hello and welcome! I am so excited you are here! My name is Alison Galloway and I am the owner and lead photographer of Alison Shane Photograghy. I have been an East Tennessee photographer, based out of the Knoxville area, for five years now. I am a licensed and insured Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer that services the East Tennessee area. I am also willing to travel anywhere! I love to capture the memories of people's lives for them to last a lifetime!! If you've known me for awhile, you know that Alison Shane Photography was not the first name of this business. When I started this journey five years ago, it was AS Captured. It was a play on my first and middle name, Alison Shane. I also didn't want to have photography in the name either because I wanted to be different. So why the change? After being in the business for five years, I realized that I have changed. I felt like I grew up, I went from being an amateur to a professional. Sometimes it's hard for people to see the growth and can't see past the starting phases, so I wanted to "glow up" with my business. Many people ask me how I got into photography. I've always had an interest, but never in a million years thought that I would be running my own business. My mother in law was starting her own photography business and I would be her assistant and second shooter. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away in 2015. A few months before she passed away she was unable to continue photography and encouraged me to keep going and AS Captured was born. *Now Alison Shane Photography* Photography has become my passion and I do it in memory of her.
