Alley splits her time between Seattle and New York, and has a portfolio that spans various genres including portrait, editorial, and unit still photography.

While she enjoys carefully sculpting subjects with light and form using custom lighting and austere backdrops, she also thrives on the challenge of using whatever light is available to her at the moment. One of her defining strengths lies in her ability to distill complex narratives into simple yet evocative images, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains firmly on the subject to emphasize the human connection.

Alley’s versatility, coupled with her adventurous spirit and willingness to take risks, has led her to work on a wide range of clients and includes projects for Amazon, Nintendo, MasterCard, and Cascade PBS.
