A portraiture photographer who specializes in the intimate side of photography.

Hi, my name is Allison Gonzalez. I am a photographer based in Phoenix, AZ. When I am not taking photos or editing, you can find me reading on my kindle (I am a slut for smut).

I got started in photography after taking a Crime Scene Photography course in college! You guessed it, I am a sucker for true crime, a true murderino, if you will (IYKYK). This class taught me the ins and outs of my camera body and how to create shadows. I took those processes, reversed some of them, and began creating my art.

Torn & Raw Portraits is a space for the beautifully undone. I capture the wild, the intimate, the tender—all the pieces that make you real. This isn’t about posed perfection. It’s about presence. The fire in your eyes. The quiet ache of connection. The way love looks when no one’s watching.

From elopements that break tradition, to couple’s portraits soaked in soul, to editorial boudoir that reclaims your story—I’m here to help you see the art in your vulnerability.

I want to establish nurturing sanctuary for women of all backgrounds, no one body is the same, but they are all bodies deserving of love. Each woman is a survivor in her own right – whether battling societal body norms or overcoming physical and mental abuse/battles. Regardless of your past, every woman is valued as a client, your story is always safe in my hands.

I will ensure that your intimate experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Expect laughter, jokes, maybe some tears, to go out of your comfort zone, and perhaps a few brain farts along the way (I'll admit, I’m clumsy and the ADHD is real!). But above all, expect an unforgettable experience filled with joy and empowerment.

It does not matter what kind of photography you came to me for, I want you to remember this experience for years to come.

Romance the ruin. Own the fire.
Because love isn't perfect. Neither are we.
Isn’t that beautiful?

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to invest in yourself. No really… stop reading this and go book!
