A Chat with Alli Murphy Photography

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

We have been in business since 2014. What started out as a photography studio has changed into a mission to change women’s lives. We have empowered more than 300+ women every year and with each women who comes through our doors, that is one more changed life. Our staff will soothe your fears and in minutes you will feel like you are hanging out with old friends. First you will take a seat in our makeup and hair chair, and then progress into the photo session. By the time you are with us through hair and makeup, you will forget you were even nervous! This is all about your comfort level, so we will work with you to encourage you to be your best self throughout the entire experience!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

For Alli, a love for photography started at a young age. She has been behind the camera since the age of 16, and first began within the film medium. After 10 years, she opened up her boudoir photography studio. As business has grown rapidly over the last few years, expanding into two locations and a staff over 10 empowered females!

What do you love most about your job?

We love the ability to show a persons true beauty and personality. Today, there is a stigma of "beauty" and we believe in going above and beyond to help people see past what they think beauty should be. Our clients end up becoming our friends through this experience, as we help them understand that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and ages!

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

We are often told that we change lives. That is a big deal!!! We have been told by many of our boudoir clients that they have considered doing a shoot of this nature many times, but never have felt comfortable until meeting us. There are many photographers out there, and being chosen because we make that person feel safe, is a great feeling. Many women will cry when they see their photos because seeing oneself glammed up, completely vulnerable and out of their comfort zone and recognizing that they are GORGEOUS just as they are is a truly empowering experience.
