About me

Alison Tremblay – Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photography Specialist in Maryland & DC

Alison Tremblay is one of the most respected and in-demand photographers in the Bar and Bat Mitzvah industry, known for her artistic vision, technical expertise, and client-first approach. Based in the Maryland and DC area, Alison has built a reputation for capturing vibrant, story-driven images that families treasure for a lifetime.

Originally from Burlington, Vermont, Alison fell in love with photography at an early age. She earned her BFA in Photography in 2008 and soon after moved to the DC metro area to pursue her passion professionally. Her sharp eye for detail, warm presence, and ability to anticipate meaningful moments have made her a favorite among families and event planners alike.

Alison is deeply committed to creating a seamless, enjoyable experience for her clients—from the first consultation to the final album design. She personally crafts each album and delights clients with a sneak peek of event highlights by the Monday following the celebration—because she knows how special and exciting it is to relive those moments right away.

When she’s not behind the lens, Alison enjoys traveling, discovering new destinations, and relaxing with her beloved cat. Her love for storytelling, paired with a tireless dedication to her craft, shines through in every image she creates.

In addition to photographing events, I proudly serve as the Studio Manager for the photography department at WTA Photo—so chances are, you’ll reach me directly when you call. Capturing your event is just the beginning. I’ll personally guide you through the image selection process and the design of your final album, ensuring every detail reflects your vision.

I’m also lucky to work alongside an incredible team of event professionals at Washington Talent. When you book me as your photographer, our event consultants can often extend exclusive offers on green screen photography, photo booths, and other fun event novelties to enhance your celebration even further.

"Thanks so much, Alison and for everything involved with the pictures for Cole’s Bar Mitzvah! It was a super special weekend and we are grateful that you were there to capture the highlights with photos. You were a pleasure to work with and made all of us feel comfortable. I haven’t had a chance to fill out the Washington Talent online survey but will next week with some positive feedback."

Client Testimonial
"Alison is a master- she is professional, skilled, prompt, classy, and cool. Really love the photos- she works well with all ages and has sense of timing when taking photos. Worked around our schedule and is available for consultation as needed. Photos turned out great. We used her for our first daughter’s bat mitzvah and were satisfied enough to re-hire her for the second bat mitzvah a year later. She is well worth it."

Not only does she take the most incredible Photos but her demeanor, her talking with the kids to make all of the photos go smooth and fun, and all the time and effort she puts into us/her clients....
