“She has great vision. She sees beauty in everything—
she sees in terms of line, texture and color.” 
Susan O’Neill, Artist and Photographer, Eau Claire, WI 

“Her writing is lyrical, witty, and shaped by a keen, informed intelligence. Horses whisper to her. Flowers pose for her. Humans love her.” 
Lynda Sexson, Professor of Religious Studies, Montana State University.


"Working with Ali is a pleasure all around. She is timely, dependable, qualified, and creative. Plus she has the ability to listen to your request and respond by delivering a beautiful, technically superior product. Rare to find so much creative and technical talent in one person!"
Karen Nozik, owner, Eco-Writer, Inc., Boulder, CO

"We are so thrilled with how our save-the-date magnets turned out! We asked for something creative and unique, and you went way beyond that. Not only are they both of those things, but you did it so quickly! We have received so many compliments on them, and it's all thanks to you. You really relieved stress on our side and added excitement! Thank you for all of your work."
Jena Meinholz & Jeffrey Byron, St. Louis Park, MN

“Ali is a whole person with an ability to see through, around, and with a person, a flower, an animal or an idea. Her flower pictures adorn my office, her creative thoughts and ideas resonate in my mind, and her spirit sparks my soul.”
Susan Moch, Ph.D., RN, Professor at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire.

“Ali is someone that envisions so much more than what most people just see. Her photographs awaken all your senses. I have many pictures hanging in my house of nature scenes taken by Ali, that people always ask where I found such an interesting picture.”
Sandy Meinholz, Eau Claire,WI

“Ali is an extremely talented photographer. She has taken photographs for me on several occasions, including my wedding in August of 2004. If you are looking for someone to capture the emotion of the moment, Ali is the one. She was very easy to work with, both in listening to my requests and in making my husband and I feel relaxed on the big day. Both the color and the black and white images that she took were simply outstanding. Ali manages to capture emotion in her photos by focusing less on poses and more on candid shots and telling a story. We were very pleased with her work and will definitely ask her to capture our family again in the future! Great job Ali!”
BobbiLe Ba, St. Paul, MN

“Ali worked at our Ranch for some of the time she attended MSU. During that time she took some amazing photographs of our horses and dogs and cats. She and Rubin Martin had helped with the “embryo” of our web site. Ali was particularly instrumental in turning our three year search for the ranch into something readable, which is the first introduction on the Main page. ...Ali’s contribution is a beautiful part of the product as a whole.”
Lisa Grossi, Owner, Thunderball Ranch, Bozeman, MT, www.thunderballranch.com

“I had the opportunity to have Ali take my high school graduation pictures. She took only 2 rolls of film, one color and one black & white, and we ended up using 10 different poses because there were too many great shots to choose from. The price was so inexpensive compared to other professional photography companies.”
Jonathan Meinholz, Eau Claire, WI

“We had Allison shoot my daughter Tasha’s senior pictures. Allison is professional, yet fun, and very pleasant to work with. Her prices are very reasonable and we got great images to share with friends and family. Excellent quality and service. She is wonderful with people and animals. We would use her services again if she lived closer!”
Teresa Bednar, Eau Claire, WI

“Ali’s skill in horse photography stems from the fact that she knows horses—she knows how they should look, and she knows their antics and expressions. I have had several of my horses in ‘photo shoots’ with Ali, and also have let her loose around the ranch with her camera. Her images are consistently good, and really capture the essence of the horse. I have used several of the images she took for me on my website.”
Janiejill Tointon, Diamond Double T Ranch, www.diamonddoubletranch.com

“...a memorable student... a gifted undergraduate. She was remarkably motivated and always followed through with trustworthy and substantial results. She was an exceptional TA, and demonstrated that she can handle even larger classes very responsibly and reliably, a gem you can always count on to take care of whatever is expected. Furthermore, she is always calm and astute, seeming to measure situations and ideas and offer intelligent responses. Ali has the rare and refined quality of demonstrating respect and honor, exchanging ideas with sincere interest, and speaking words of deep value for meaning and reflection. I can confidently recommend Ali as an exceptionally bright and motivated student scholar with broad interests and unusual insight, concentration and academic skills. She will be graduating from our program facing her life ahead enthusiastically, and confidently, with an intellectual foundation already well formed to explore the world. Ali is a brilliant student who is clearly moving steadily in the direction of her dreams.”
Brett Greider, Ph.D., previously Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
