My love of people is what let me to pursue photography. I’ve been a photographer for 6+ years, and have enjoyed every minute. Each session is different from the last, and I love being challenged to get fantastic photographs no matter what the location is, or what the weather is like.My photography style natural, guided documentary style with true-to-life colors to tell a timeless, story that stays true to your memories. I'm all about creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere while capturing all the candids in between! I concentrate on seizing real, raw emotion, while providing gentle direction to ensure you're at ease in front of my camera.
In my spare time, I love traveling with my family, throwing backyard get togethers, listening to an audiobook while I edit, biking, camping, eating sushi as much as possible and going on adventures with my amazing clients!
Photography is my job, however, capturing moments of my life and those around me is also one of my great pleasures.

YOSEMITE Adventure SESSIONS
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 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.
