HEADSHOTS AND BRANDING

our team

ALLISON WILKINS

Owner and Lead Photographer

Back in early 2019, when Evin Thayer Studios transitioned to a new photography team, Evin himself stepped into retirement. As a result, we welcomed the highly experienced portrait and commercial photographer, Allison Wilkins McPhail.

Of course, as we’ve grown, and our dear founder has passed, our goal is to continue to bring our clients the art-focus portraiture that the studio is known for.

Above all, we are committed to creating a fun, stress free, custom portrait experience for each of our clients.

JENNIFER MYERS

Studio Manager

Jennifer Myers has some impressive history with the studio.  She worked with Evin for 15 years and did everything from retouching to sales to assisting on shoots. She stepped away in 2018 when her son was born, but we were delighted to welcome her back in 2021.   

Jennifer assists on photo shoots, helps with client communication, digital marketing and so more to help us run smoothly behind the scenes!
