Born on the West coast, raised in the South. Ali has since traveled the world. She gathers inspiration from those she meets, locations she visits, and the sites she sees.

The Gran Finali Photography originated in Las Vegas, NV. However, it began as a creative outlet for Ali who left active duty military in search of a life filled with art and creativity. While in service, she first worked with a camera as a crime scene photographer. She then purchased her own camera and traveled the world documenting her many adventures through several countries.  

Once in Las Vegas, Ali began to model and hone her skills in front and behind the camera. She experimented with fine art and fashion before deciding to complete a Master of Fine Art degree in photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. There she learned how to blend all her experiences into beautiful creations that span from simple portraits to moody and profound creations.  

Her passion to help everyone feel like a work of art is what led to her creating a home studio and building her business with boudoir and portraits. She believes everyone should have a moment captured to make permanent a fond memory, a creative vision, or a sense of empowerment.
