Who We Are
Hi, I'm Makala

Hi, I'm Emiliegh
Lead Photographer & Office Manager
Emiliegh first picked up a camera over a decade ago and has been passionately capturing moments ever since. Before joining our team, she developed her craft as a freelance photographer and deepened her design expertise as a graphic design student.
At Towner Studios, Emiliegh wears many hats. She’s often on set, taking stunning photographs and shooting and editing videos. When she’s not capturing images, she’s busy editing and retouching photos to perfection. Emiliegh also plays a crucial role in training associate photographers, ensuring they meet our high standards, and manages the day-to-day operations of the office and studio. Outside of work, Emiliegh treasures time spent with her husband and two sons, enjoying family adventures and creating lasting memories.
Hi, I'm Ali
Branding Specialist & Photographer
Ali is the creative force behind all things social—handling community engagement, content creation, and so much more! As she embarks on her master’s degree, she’s also thriving as an associate boudoir photographer.
When she’s not busy making magic happen, Ali enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and their adorable corgi, Zelda.
Hi, I'm Alexis
Client Concierge
Alexis is the friendly face of Towner Studios as our Client Concierge. She takes care of everything from scheduling client bookings and handling reveal appointments to managing studio resets. When she has some extra time, she also dives into special projects, making sure everything runs smoothly and our clients have the best experience possible.
If she's not in the office you can find her cuddling her two cats, Arabella & Mushu, and spending time with her partner.
