Bringing the vision to create photos

that stand out from the crowd…

    "Alissa's work is always high quality. I tend to feel awkward during photoshoots because I never know how to pose, but Alissa made me feel super comfortable and was very specific in helping me pose for photos. She is an overall wonderful photographer to work with."

    Hannah S (Graduate)

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Alissa during a photoshoot for one of my songs. She takes direction very well and offered creative suggestions to make the shots even better. Her attention to detail - how the props were placed, where every hair laid around my face, and the lighting made the shoot go seamlessly. I never had to worry about the results of the shots because Alissa was so attentive. If I had to describe working with Alissa in one word, it would be FUN. Someone who is creatively-minded and detail-oriented is hard to come by but Alissa manages both with ease - all while making the shoot fun and light-hearted."

    Katie L (Musician)

  • " Alissa is an incredibly talented and professional photographer and she did such a great job with my senior photos. I gave her an idea of what I wanted, and she arrived ready to deliver with creative ideas, props, and poses. She made our shoot super fun and comfortable! Some of the best pictures I've ever had!

    Avery M (Model)

  • "Alissa worked really well with our large family! We had 24 people in the picture and she was able to capture wonderful group shots as well as candids of the children that were so beautiful! She kept a steady focus for great photo opportunities even in the midst of the group being loud & funny. She was so easy to work with, had lots of great ideas, and was really efficient in capturing all the photos within the time frame! I would highly recommend her as a photographer - I was 100% satisfied!"
