HI THERE, I’M ALLIE.

AN ANAGRAM OF MY NAME IS “ILLUMINE ALL,” WHICH IS ALSO MY SUPERPOWER.

I LIVE IN DURHAM, NC, WITH MY PARTNER, BRIAN.

He very graciously lets me photograph him often.

HALLOWEEN IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY.

I devote the entire month of October to it in my newsletter Allie’s 31 Days of Halloween.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY ORIGIN STORY

The first photographs I remember taking were on an elementary school field trip. I used a camera with 110 film and mostly made pictures of inanimate objects.

In high school I used my first paycheck to buy my first digital camera.

Three whole megapixels, a sound investment!

I majored in photojournalism at UNC Chapel Hill. I was the photo editor for our school paper, which at that point was the paper of record in Orange County, NC.

I photographed weddings and portraits for friends, and then other folks began to hire me. When I realized that my only 9-to-5 was making me miserable, I took the leap and started Allie Mullin Photography.
