DUNNVILLE—Amidst the confusion and frustration in a time of social distancing, photographer Alesha Allen of Dunnville has decided to bring a smile to the community by uploading joyful pictures of families through her Facebook page.

Allen’s interest in photography began with taking photos of her own three children before family and friends began asking for her to take pictures of their families, which is ultimately how Alesha Allen Photography began four years ago. Recently, a fellow photographer inspired her to begin taking pictures of families on their porches.
