That moment is why this work matters so much to me.
Now, I photograph families and seniors so they always have something real to hold onto and look back on. Images that remind them who they were in this season and how deeply they are loved.
Sessions with me are relaxed and easy. I guide you through planning, outfits, and posing so you never have to wonder what to do, and afterward I help you turn your images into artwork designed for your home, not files forgotten on a hard drive.
I’m a mom of three and a Marine Corps veteran, and I know how fast life moves. If things feel busy or imperfect right now, you are actually in the perfect season for photos.
Let’s create something you’ll love seeing every day.
New Bern family and senior photographer creating artwork that feels like home.
I'm Allie
didn’t grow up with many photos of myself, and for a long time I didn’t feel like I truly belonged. Seeing a photo of myself and the family at my grandparents’ house changed that. It made me feel seen, loved, and like I belonged somewhere.

My kids are my whole world. They are loud, funny, stubborn, tender, and endlessly growing. They are the reason I believe photographs matter so deeply. Time moves fast. One season blends into the next. Capturing them as they are right now reminds me to slow down and be present. Motherhood shapes the way I see light, emotion, and connection in every family I photograph.

I love exploring new places. Wandering unfamiliar streets, studying architecture, watching how light hits buildings in different cities. Travel stretches perspective. It reminds me that beauty exists everywhere and that every family has a story shaped by where they have been. Adventure fuels my creativity and keeps my work fresh and inspired.

Concerts are my reset button. There is something powerful about standing in a stadium with thousands of people singing the same song. It is energy, emotion, memory all at once. Music has a way of anchoring moments in time. That feeling is what I chase in my photography too. Not perfection, but presence. Not posed, but felt.

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.
