My name is Allison Christensen and I have always been interested in photography. I received an degree in photography from the Art Institute of Seattle in 1993. I went from there to work for a large portrait corporation, specializing in children's photography, for nine years. While I was on Maternity leave with my son Cole, I looked down at this tiny sweet little baby of mine and knew that I could not go back to a busy upper management position. So, after being gone from our home state of Utah for nearly ten years, my husband and I moved back and I started Pretty Pictures. That was in 2004.
