Hi, I am Claire McAlister.


When I was about 16 years old I picked up my mom's Nikon D3300 and did a photoshoot of my friend in my front yard and the rest is history. When I first started taking clients I was willing to do anything and everything to create magic with a camera. I shot birthday parties, family pictures and seniors and even threw in a few prom/homecoming sessions. I was happy to do anything and everything.

Then one day, I was asked to shoot a wedding and that completely changed the game for me and I have been hooked ever since. While weddings may be my main course, senior, family, and everything in between are the bread and butter. I am so excited for what is to come and for all the wonderful people I will meet through my work.

“Claire has been photographing both myself and my family for years now. She’s the first person I call when I’m in need of pictures. From solo shots, to mommy and me’s, to professional photos for my business. She does it all! She’s kind, patient (especially with children), and efficient. I’ve never experienced such quick turnaround time for photos before and the final shots are always beautiful. I highly recommend Claire’s Southern Photography for all your photography needs!”
