We are Bryan and Ashley of Alacrity Photography. We met in 2007 in a camera store, of all places. One year after that fateful meeting, we decided to create a photography business together. A year after that, we decided to create a life together and get married.
After meeting so many wonderful people and documenting so many special events in Wisconsin, we packed everything up and followed our hearts to Portland. Shortly after settling in, we received the best news ever… we found out we were going to be parents!
Scout is silly, adorable, and the light of our lives. Raven is a sweet and curious little guy. You can often find us outdoors, looking for the perfect rock or scanning tide pools for creatures.
Why Photography?
Many things can trigger a memory; a familiar scent, the way something feels, a song from your past… but nothing is quite as powerful as an image. The memories and moments captured in a photo can help us travel through time and even through generations.
We believe printing photos is extremely important. Your treasured images do very little when they’re left on a storage device. Printing a photo allows you to see and feel the moments as they happened. No matter how old the photograph becomes or who holds it in their hands, they will see the emotion that was there. They hold space for the loved ones who are still with us and the ones who have passed away. A photo is an heirloom that never fades.
