a wife, mother and heartfelt storyteller who values family above all else

allison Prahl, founder

I’m a wife, mother, and photographer with a deep love for storytelling and finding beauty in everyday life. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with family, invested in a good book, near a body of water or in the woods—a favorite travel destination being Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where I go frequently with my husband, our son, and our two dogs in tow.

Michigan fall weather breathes life into me—the crisp air, vibrant leaves, and a good excuse to bake apple pie just can't be beat. That being said, the Christmas season will always hold a special place in my heart.  Even now as an adult, I feel the magic of the season, which is why it remains a favorite year after year.

Heirloom Story Co. was born out of a desire to slow down, embrace what matters most, and preserve the fleeting seasons of family life. I believe in capturing connection over perfection, and my goal is to create timeless images that feel like home—because these moments are more than memories... they’re your legacy.
