Welcome!

Hi, I'm Allison Cho, combining my passion for sports, storytelling, and visual media to help athletes, families, and professionals preserve the moments that matter most.

I've built my career around creating meaningful connections through storytelling. Whether I'm capturing championship moments behind the lens, or documenting personal milestones through portrait photography, my goal is always the same: to create authentic images that tell a story.

My background as a former NCAA Division I swimmer gives me a unique perspective on the dedication, resilience, and emotion that athletes experience. Having competed at the highest levels of age-group, high school, and collegiate swimming, I understand the significance of the moments that often happen beyond the scoreboard. That perspective has shaped my approach to photography and storytelling across all areas of my work.

While sports photography remains a cornerstone of my portfolio, I've intentionally expanded my work into portrait, family, and branding photography. I've had the opportunity to work with authors and professionals looking to strengthen their personal brands, as well as families seeking to preserve meaningful moments together. Exploring these different aspects of photography has challenged me creatively and allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life, broadening my perspective as both a photographer and storyteller.

Professionally, I've worked across sports media, communications, and event management, serving as Head of Sports Content for Hazze Sports, contributing athlete features and sports coverage, and supporting employee engagement initiatives at AEG. Through photography, journalism, and digital content creation, I've been fortunate to tell stories ranging from youth sports and community events to professional athletics and personal milestones.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sport Administration from Pepperdine University with a minor in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, as well as a Master of Science in Communications with a specialization in Media Management from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: every person has a story worth telling. Whether I'm photographing an athlete chasing a championship, an author building their brand, or a family creating memories together, I strive to create images that feel genuine, meaningful, and lasting.
