West Michigan Photographer

Studio newborn photographer in West Michigan | Baby Deaglan

This newborn session was so special. I felt connected to the new parents’ story as they welcomed baby boy into their family through adoption after the uncertainty of whether growing a family was even a possibility.

I could feel how deep their love was already and the emotions ran high during our time together.

It’s always a true honor to capture such a sacred time in a family’s life, but this session and family will hold a special place in my heart.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Alissa

At home in a small Michigan town near the lake — raising four beautiful, wild-hearted kids and holding close to the fleeting moments that matter most.

Life around here is a little loud, a little messy, and with a lot of love — and that’s exactly what draws me to photography. I’ve spent over 16 years capturing connection, chaos, calm, and everything in between… Because it’s not the big milestones we ache for — it’s the quiet, constant things woven into them.
