I am in search of High School Seniors to be Senior Reps for me at each Iredell County High School.

Senior photo sessions are not meant to replace Graduation Photos for the Yearbook, or Cap and Gown pics, but are meant to show the personality of the individual.

Senior reps get a FREE Session,

50% off their order,  Free Senior Rep Card,

and will earn $5 cash or $10 print credit

for EACH referral that results in a paid session!

Limited to 3 seniors per school. Please contact me for more information!

I am proud to announce I have founded a new organization for families affected by ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), called Forward Focus.

My cousin Kenny, a father of 6, was diagnosed with ALS in the Spring of 2006. He passed away on July 10, 2008.

This disease has no mercy. It is 100% fatal, claiming most lives within 2-5 years of diagnoses.

For this reason, I am passionate about these families having the opportunity to have professional family portraits taken at no cost to them.

Currently, we are offering free sessions to ALS affected families in North Carolina only. At any given time, there are 350-400 ALS persons in touch with the ALS Association in North Carolina. ALSA will spread the word about Forward Focus to the families, and the families will be put in touch with me. For now, there are two photographers in our volunteer effort, and we are seeking others.

Each photographer agrees to donate their time, talent and 20 free prints from the session to the family. There is no obligation to purchase any additional purchases, but if some are desired, a discount will be available.

If you know anyone in North Carolina currently living with ALS, please give them my email address. We will be happy to provide portraits to them! (sheri@sheriallison.com)

It’s already been a year since I last photographed BooBoo and her mommy and daddy. I can’t believe how big she is- nevermind walking and talking!

I had the great pleasure of meeting baby A and his mommy and daddy today. Here is one of the images from the beginning of our session together.

Enjoy, C and A! I’ll have the rest ready for you tomorrow.

As the holidays quickly approach, I am getting super excited for another busy season!

To share my excitement, I am offering a FREE 8×10 to anyone who schedules their October Session by August 15th.

In past years, October session times have booked rapidly, and it looks like this year will be no exception. Book your session today to ensure availability!

I am excited to announce that I am now shooting weddings!

While the bride and groom are  enjoying their magical day, I will be capturing each moment as it happens so they can relive the moment for years to come. Wedding Packages will include traditional formal portraits of the wedding party, but I am especially excited to document all the details that make the event; from the dress; to the flowers; to the table settings; to the guests; all in my unique photo journalistic style.

I am accepting a limited number of small, casual weddings for the remainder of 2008 and will be offering special Portfolio Building Pricing Discounts.

I had the privelege to assist on a Wedding in Ohio last weekend, and here are two of my favorite detail shots.

Never fear, my dear friends, I am here! WITH a contest, no less!
