Hi, my name is

Alyssa Nicole


I'm so glad you're here :)

Photographer -

Western, PA + beyond

A lifestyle photographer with a heart for storytelling, I find beauty in the in-between moments—the laughter of a family gathering, the joy of a celebration, or the quiet stillness of home. My work weaves together the authenticity of documentary with the refined touch of editorial, creating timeless images that speak to the soul.


Away from the camera, I spend my days with my sweet dog, Lainey, or caring for others as an MA II full time at UPMC. Patients call me “smiley,” a reflection of the positivity I bring to every interaction.


I started this journey because I wanted to give people something more than just pictures—I wanted to give them memories. Moments they can hold onto when time seems to move too fast.

I believe in showing up as I am—lighthearted, warm, and a little goofy. If you’re someone who values connection over perfection and wants a session that feels effortless and fun, we’ll be the perfect fit.

Let’s turn your story into something truly unforgettable.

music.


I love country music. Koe Wetzel, HARDY, Pecos & the Rooftops, those are some of my favorites. I also love Billie Eilish, Fleetwood Mac, & RHCP.

02.


sweets.


I'm always ready for a little sweet treat. Cookies (peanut butter blossoms to be exact) are by far the best desert food.

03.


shopping.


Unfortunately for my wallet, I love shopping, trying new restaurants, and buying random gadgets lol

traveling


I LOVE to travel. I have only been to 11 states so far, but I hope to make it to all 50 plus some other countries along the way. Currently, OBX is my favorite!

you will always find me with a smile

I am a fur mom of three! Lainey (dog), Venus (black cat) & Zena (grey cat) were all rescues. I have three jobs - I am a Medical Assistant Senior at UPMC for 3 years now, and 1 year ago I took photography to a professional level.

As you could say, I'm a busy girl! I do make time to have some fun in between, of course with bringing my Lainey along. I love to go to town, get food, two margs, and bring my camera to find a cute spot to take pics of whoever I am with LOL.


I am blessed to be this busy.
