Alanna Volen: Maternity in the Alice Studio
Some shoots just have that magic—the kind where everything flows, the light hits just right, and the connection between client and photographer is effortless. That’s exactly what happened when Alanna Volen stepped into Wonderland for the first time to photograph Christina and Shivam Patel’s maternity session…
Referred by her long-time friend and hair and makeup artist, Chrissy Sheffield, Alanna connected with the couple for a maternity session that was equal parts joyful, relaxed, and full of love.
“They were so fun, laid back and easy going,” Alanna shared. “They trusted me with the whole process and that always makes for a smooth photoshoot experience!”
Though it was her first time shooting at Wonderland, Alanna knew from the moment Christina showed her inspiration photos that the Alice Studio would be the perfect match.
“The amazing light, windows, and variety of spaces to choose from truly creates an environment that welcomes nearly any photographer with a unique vision! I would absolutely photograph here again and cannot wait to!”
