A PEEK INTO MY WORK
We hired Alyssa for our Yosemite elopement and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Leading up to the elopement, Alyssa made sure to understand what we wanted out of the day and executed the day exactly how we envisioned it to be. She made sure we got all the photos that we liked when we were talking about inspiration photos. We took both sunrise and sunset photos, and she was absolutely down to do anything we wanted. She was super nice and sweet to work with and made sure we were comfortable the whole day. When we got our full gallery back (which was in about 3 weeks), we were blown away by all the photos and she captured all the memories and emotions of the day well. I would highly recommend Alyssa for any of your photography needs!

Alyssa made our honeymoon shoot at Yosemite truly magical. We are no models - in fact quite awkward with a camera! - but Alyssa made us feel so relaxed and managed to capture our raw moments perfectly.
Before shoot day, she also addressed our DMs very quickly and even scheduled a call to get to know us and note all our requests down. Alyssa is The Photographer for Yosemite. She knows the park very well, including all the private spots with the best sunlight and angles.
To Alyssa, thank you again for these wonderful memories. They will have a special place on the walls of our home! 🩷

Alyssa was such a blessing on our Elopement day.
Who you trust to capture your wedding is a big decision. From the very beginning Alyssa took the time to get to know us and what was important to us. She gave great advice as we planned our elopement timeline, she was very responsive, and we never felt like we couldn’t reach out with questions. She also quickly provided an alternative site for our first look the day-of when our original plan wasn’t going to work. Hero!
Alyssa has so much love for people and the outdoors and it shows in how she captures it - beautifully done. She made us feel at ease and gave direction when it was needed - so important and results in better photos. She genuinely cared about us having photos we will cherish for many years. Alyssa is a wonderful person and gifted professional. We love our gallery and would re-book with her in a heartbeat!

If you're on the fence about booking a session with Alyssa, let me be your voice of reason. BOOK THE SESSION!! Alyssa exceeded all of our expectations for our post engagement shoot! My fiance and I absolutely loved all of our photos! We especially loved the fact that we still look like us in our pictures, no over editing, which is exactly what we wanted! Not only is she great behind the camera but her personality helped us feel less nervous, and that definitely translated in our pictures! Our photos look like we are watching snippets of a romance movie, and we are so happy that we get to have these forever! Again thank you so much Alyssa, we will definitely be back to book another session with you!

Our family photo session at Yosemite with Alyssa was a dream! We were newbies to the park and she guided us through all of the best locations and timed our sunrise shoot perfectly. She was able to capture beautiful photos, even with our kids' silly faces/poses and aversions to wet grass. Unfortunately, we are from the East Coast or we would hire Alyssa for all of our photography needs! We will definitely be recommending her to any and all of the people we know traveling to the Fresno area or any of the national parks. Book a shoot with Alyssa - you won't regret it!

Alyssa is the BEST!!! Truly, she is passionate and caring about her clients. I was so nervous traveling from across the country for my wedding in California but she helped put my mind at ease about the entire elopement experience. She made me and my husband feel SO comfortable. She scouted out the location in advance to make sure the weather was ok for our big day and was constantly keeping me posted about the details. I LOVED working with her and hope to work with her in the future someday. If you are looking for a photographer to go the extra mile for your experiences, look no further! Book Alyssa immediately❤️

If you are looking for an invested photographer to capture your special day, or even a shoot of your family, Alyssa is where it is at! She was amazing for our wedding, spending over 8 hours running around in 100 degree weather to capture every moment! She remembered to capture every scene that we had mentioned was important to us and did a beautiful job with the colors of the outdoors and getting the right angles. Not to mention receiving a personalized usb and wooden box for our memories after it is all said and done. You can count on her to be thoughtful, strategic, and bring a nervous bride some ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing photos, I mean her portfolio speaks for itself.
