The photos that stay with you
Let me capture
Imagine...you're snuggled on the couch while your little one flips through the pages of your family album, they ask questions about the tiny version of themselves in each photo. You smile — because you remember it all. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like to be their mom in that season.

You deserve more than just pretty pictures—you deserve to feel seen, celebrated, and fully in it. My process is easy, thoughtful, and designed to take the pressure off so you can focus on what matters most: loving on your people.

MEET AlissA
I’m a motherhood, family, and baby photographer with a big sappy heart for capturing the beauty in the everyday—whether in my cozy natural light studio or along the sandy shores of Lake Michigan.
As a mom of four, I get how fast it all goes. My work is full of presence, connection, and the kind of honest storytelling that helps you remember what it felt like to be right there in the moment.
What's Your
Memory-Keeping
Are you the “78,838 photos on your phone, 3 bins of artwork under the bed” type? The mom with a full shelf of color-coded yearly photo books? (Go you!!) Or maybe you’re just out here saving baby socks and popsicle stick superheroes like it’s your job. Turns out, memory-keeping is a personality.
no judgement — just fun!
