beauty portraits Maine woman

Reclaim the Narrative

A transformative portrait experience designed for the woman who has arrived. More than a session -it’s a celebration of your legacy.

01
CURATION

Full service styling

The Consultation-One hour, in the studio or by telephone

Before a single frame is made, we sit down together. We talk about the people in your life, the rooms you live in, and the wall that has been waiting for something true.

I bring out paper samples, frame corners, and finished pieces so you can hold the end result long before the session. A wardrobe is planned here, in muted tones that will not date the image or colorful outfits, dreamy and flowing, whatever your style. Then we choose the location, type, and book the day and time to create your portraits.

__

Investment

Three ways
to commission

Every session, without exception, includes a design consultation before we photograph and hand-finished archival prints afterward. Alana’s is a print studio first — files are never the product, and no portrait leaves this room unfinished.

__01

The Portrait Session

A single sitting for one subject or a small family, and one finished piece to begin the collection.

$920

The commission includes

  • Pre-session design consultation

  • Two-hour studio or on-location session

  • Full wardrobe and styling guidance

  • Private reveal and ordering appointment

  • One 11 × 14 hand-finished archival print, matted

Additional artwork available at the reveal.

02
ARTISTRY

master art direction- The Session

Two or up to three unhurried hours

Sessions are slow on purpose. Children are given room to be children; adults are given time to forget the camera is there. I work a great deal of patience, and I photograph the moments between the poses.

__ 02

The Heirloom Collection

The studio’s most chosen commission — a curated wall grouping designed for one particular room in your home.

$4690

The commission includes

  • Extended consultation, including a home wall visit

  • Three-hour session, two locations or two setups

  • Digital wall design rendered to your own room

  • A grouping of three 20” framed pieces in solid wood

  • A ten-image linen folio box of matted prints

  • Personal delivery and hanging

Collections are tailored to the room they are made for.

03
heirloom

museum quality -The Reveal & Artwork

Three weeks later, in the print room

Your portraits are revealed as finished art, projected at wall scale in the quiet studio with a glass of something cold. You see them large, as they were meant to be seen, and choose together with me what will be printed.

Every piece is then hand-retouched by me in the studio: retouched with restraint, printed on cotton rag or fine art papers of your choosing, and framed in solid wood by hand. Delivery is made in person, six to eight weeks.

__03

The Legacy Commission

A year in the life of a family, or a single portrait made with the care of a painted one. Reserved for a limited number of families each year.

$9450

The commission includes

  • Four sessions across the turning seasons

  • Multi-generational portraiture, including grandparents

  • An exhibition-scale centrepiece, 40 × 50 or larger

  • A hand-bound heirloom album includes 24 pages

  • Archival files save in perpetuity by the studio

  • Reprint rights for your family

Commissions are discussed in person. Enquire early; the year fills quickly.

A session fee reserves the studio, the artist’s time, and the consultation. Artwork is chosen afterward, at the reveal, once you have seen what we made together.

This entire project sparked from a single, wild creative vision—and I knew Deb was the perfect muse to step into the studio and ignite my 40 Over 40 Campaign.

After Deb had her photoshoot she sent me this beautiful note:

‍ “I’ve never felt so beautiful! I’m so glad I did this. Thank you so much, Alana- this was a wonderful experience. I recommend that if you have a photoshoot with Alana it will boost your mood, take some time for yourself. This meant so much and the images are just so stunning. I can’t say enough. I will treasure them.” - Deb Client

The 40 Over 40 Project

Celebrating 40 women over that age of 40. Showcasing women’s beauty, grace, and wisdom.

I’m donating 20% of the proceeds to local women’s issues in Franklin County that is a non-profit.

If you love to play dress up and want to feel like a queen or goddess for the day then you deserve to book this session for yourself or a loved one!

I’m going to be raising funds to provide 5 women with this wonderful experience!

Maine Wedding Photography

&

Maine Elopements

Award-winning wedding photographer Alana Ranney of Western, Maine. I am always looking for moments. I photograph traditional portraits, but I love to let things happen and wait for the right moment.

Group of wedding guests walking outdoors on a paved path surrounded by greenery and white flowering bushes, with women in pink dresses and men in suits.

This was unplanned, and there was no redo. It was a marvelous day in Camden, Maine, and the wedding party decided to walk to the reception. I ran ahead when I saw this hill, waited just a few seconds, and composed 3 or 4 images. And I looked up, and the Bride and Groom kissed!

A young woman with long brown hair and blue eyes lying on green grass, smiling at the camera, with fallen yellow leaves around her.

“I loved every minute of the shoot. She did my senior pictures and they came out beautiful!!! I felt comfortable in front of the camera, we walked around for different scenarios, and she let me do outfit changes. She was very attentive and very detailed. All around an amazing experience 11/10 recommend.”

Client Reviews

“Their attention to detail was amazing. She took control of the kids and made it fun, instead of controlling them she let them play and made them laugh. She was extremely patient with our 2 year old. We went with the flow enjoying the quality time with the kids and we all had fun and made memories! The quality of the photo products that she provided truly stood out. We’ve already recommended Alana to our friends and family.”

—  Customer

“Wow, the final outcome was even better than we imagined. It was a great experience all around. Our pictures captured all the feelings.
