Welcome to The IKAGG Podcast! On this IKAGG Interview episode, Deanna Ley, Founder and CEO of IKAGG (I Know A Guy / Gal) introduces you to Alison Hillman, Owner of BTP by Alison (been.there.photography).

After relocating to St. Louis in 2013 and rebuilding her business from scratch, Alison has become the storyteller and worth catalyst of St. Louis. She helps you press pause by capturing your story, no matter what chapter you are on. Alison specializes in events & wedding, branding, and family portrait photography.

Alison is first and foremost, Jason Squared's best girl. She is the wife of Jason and proud mama of Jase, Jesus freak, dog mom, and auntie. In her spare time she can be found screaming loudly for the St. Louis Cardinals, dancing hard at concerts, and advocating for adoptive families through her blog “Taking a Shot at Parenting.” She is a girl living out loud. On purpose. In 2021 and 2023, Alison was recognized as a St. Louis Magazine A-List Finalist, and she is the Team Leader of the Virtual IKAGG CONNECT weekly networking group.
