About Allison

Hi there! I’m Allison Muirhead—a commercial photographer, visual storyteller, and fractional Chief Marketing Officer. Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered with entrepreneurs, creative teams, and local businesses to craft custom visuals that help brands look intentional, polished, and fully themselves.

My Approach: Collaboration & Connection

I’m not just behind the camera, I’m here as your creative collaborator. When we work together, it’s more than a session; it’s a partnership.

  • We begin with a conversation—your brand goals, your visual style, your audience.

  • Then I dig into creative direction, planning, styling, and branding strategy—making sure we’re aligned every step of the way.

  • On shoot day, my goal is that you feel relaxed, yourself, and confident.

  • Afterward, I deliver imagery that feels intentional and authentic, ready to elevate your website, LinkedIn presence, marketing assets, and more.

Why This Work Matters

A great photograph does more than look beautiful—it connects with your audience, builds trust, and supports your business goals. Whether you’re updating your corporate headshots, launching a brand-wide visual approach, or creating content for a marketing campaign, I believe every image should be strategic and serve a purpose.

Two Brands. One Vision. Muirhead Studios

  • Allison Muirhead Photography is where I create visual content—headshots, branding sessions, commercial photography—for clients across Mississippi and the Southeast.

  • Cultivate Branding & Design is where I bring my branding and marketing experience to small businesses—helping them align strategy, visual identity, and online presence for long-term growth.

Together, the two sides of my work let me offer something unique: custom visual content grounded in marketing purpose, clarity, and style.

Fun Facts (Because Relationships Matter!)

  • I’m based in Oxford, Mississippi, and love photographing businesses throughout the Southeast, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson—and everywhere in between.

  • I’ve spent countless hours behind the lens and in the boardroom, which means I know what it takes to capture a moment and make it work for your bottom line.

  • When I’m not shooting or consulting, you can find me walking the Oxford square, reading crime fiction, or cheering on Ole Miss sports.

Let’s Work Together

If you’re looking for more than just a photographer—if you’re looking for someone who understands branding, messaging, and how visuals drive business—I’d love to connect. Whether we’re building your brand from the ground up or refreshing what’s already working, I’m here to help you show up with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
