My Story
Hi, I’m Alison! A creative entrepreneur, storyteller, and now, your go-to travel planner. For over a decade, I’ve been running Ali Leigh Photography, capturing beautiful moments for families and businesses alike. Before that, I worked in the fashion industry in New York City, bringing visual stories to life. Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do, and now, I’m channeling that same passion into curating effortless, beautifully designed travel experiences.
​
As a licensed independent travel agent through InteleTravel, I specialize in helping busy women, families, couples, and professionals plan stress-free, unforgettable getaways. Whether it’s a family vacation where everyone (yes, even parents!) can relax, a dreamy honeymoon, a solo wellness retreat, or an epic girls' trip, I take care of all the details—so you don’t have to.
​
As a mom of two, I know how fast life moves and how precious time away can be. I also know that planning a trip—especially one that checks all the boxes—can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in! From finding the perfect destination to booking accommodations, transportation, and excursions, I make sure every trip is seamless, stylish, and tailored just for you.
​
My mission with Belle Sojourn Travel is simple: to take the stress out of travel so you can focus on making beautiful memories. Whether you’re dreaming of an all-inclusive beach escape, a European adventure, or a quick weekend retreat, I’m here to help bring it to life. Wherever you’re headed next, let’s make it extraordinary.
