Senior & Family Portraits Designed with Intention in Eastern NC

Welcome to a Better Photography Experience.
Hi, I'm Allie!

Your New Bern Photographer

Family photos and senior portraits should be something you look forward to, not another thing stressing you out on your to do list.

If you've been putting them off because planning feels overwhelming, you're not alone. Between busy schedules, coordinating outfits, choosing a location, wondering how everyone will pose, and figuring out what to do with your images afterward, it's easy to keep waiting for the "perfect" time.

That's where I come in.

As a New Bern photographer, I guide families and high school seniors throughout Eastern North Carolina through a fully planned experience from our very first conversation to designing custom artwork for your home.

So instead of beautiful memories living on your phone, they'll become part of the place where your story is lived every day.

When you're ready, I'll guide you through the next step.

This is what photography should feel like.

What Makes this experience different?

This is for the family who wants more than beautiful photos.

It's for the parent who wants to enjoy the experience instead of worrying about every detail.

As your New Bern photographer, I believe your experience should feel thoughtful from beginning to end. From planning your session and coordinating outfits to guiding you naturally in front of the camera and designing artwork for your home, every step is intentionally crafted so you never have to wonder what comes next.

Because the photographs themselves are only part of the story.

The real goal is creating artwork that brings you back to the people, the season, and the memories you never want to forget.

They leave with something that celebrates the people they love most.

Most families think they just want beautiful photos.

Never felt more beautiful! It was a lot of fun walking around down town New Bern. Allie had a lot of good ideas and they all turned out amazing. Even though it was super hot and windy I still had a good time.

I love love did I mention my family portrait!

I am not kidding when I tell you I have the best photographer ever! You need to go to Allie Cline Photography if you want your photos done right.

A little sneak peek of our experience at out outdoor photo shoot. There was several photographers out and about with their clients. Not once did I hear them give their clients directions, poses, or why a pose may feel awkward but look amazing.

The other photographers and clients all stopped to pay attention to what Allie had to say. The experience is amazing and her work is stunning. Can not wait to show yall what I am getting,

I wasn’t sure what to expect with kids, but Allie was amazing with them and took her time to get everything right. We’ve now done three sessions and love every one.

Allie made everything simple from start to finish, and the senior photos and album turned out fantastic. We’ll definitely be back for future milestones.

Allie was so kind and patient with us and our puppy, and the entire session felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. She made us feel completely relaxed, and the photos were amazing.

My daughter hates photos, but Allie captured beautiful images anyway. Her patience and talent made all the difference, and the photos turned out amazing.
