Lay back, act natural, and let’s take some pictures
This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is relaxing, flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.

Not everyone likes to be photographed, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Do you offer payment plans?
I require a small non-refundable retainer during booking to hold your session date/time. The remaining balance can be paid all the way up until BEFORE your session starts

After booking, I send you over my "what to wear" guide, but to sum it up - neutrals all the way. It will make YOU stand out.
How will I/we know what to do in front of the camera?
I'll guide you through a mix of prompts and poses to capture the most natural, timeless images that totally feel like YOU.
Do you have a studio?
Not yet. If need be, I can rent out a studio for the day in Tarentum. Fees will be applied if you're requesting in-studio. Working towards having my own studio!
Do you travel?
Yes! Although I'm based in PA, I'm always up for a road trip. Travel feels will be included in your session depending per mileage.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes. The contract AND retainer fee are required to secure your session date/time.
Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?
Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want, these will be charged according to the number and complexity of edits.
Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?
I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide on whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I'd love to show off you & your images, if you're game! If not, that's okay, too.

Nope. RAW photo's are unfinished work
Can I edit over top of the finalized images provided by Alyssa?
NOPE. You signed a contract stating you will not alter our images after receiving your finalized gallery
