It’s Not About Perfection… It’s About Capturing The Laughter, Silliness, And Magic Of This Stage.

No matter what stage your little one is in… figuring out first steps, full of wild energy, endless giggles, or quiet curiosity… this season is worth remembering. It’s a way to hold onto the little details that change too quickly… the way their tiny fingers curl, that mischievous grin, or how they always stand with their toes turned out. It’s not about perfection; it’s about the beautifully imperfect moments that make your little one who they are.

“There truly is no on like Alissa. Her vision, ability to trust the process in natural settings, and her gift for storytelling through even just one photo is unlike anything I could have hoped for. I will continue to trust Alissa with capturing the most precious moments in my life for years to come.”

“Alissa was absolutely AMAZING! She worked with me long distance from California for months and was so helpful and responsive from the beginning to the end. She heard my ideas and made them even better. I have many of the photos hanging in my house and just love looking at them. No other photographer will do for me!”

“Alissa was like a fairy throughout the session, always getting the best angles. And to top it all off, she is an all-around genuinely sweet human. She went above and beyond for us, and made us feel like we were her only family she had that summer. She is a breath of fresh air for a busy mom and she is excellent at what she does. I cannot wait for her to take my pregnancy photos.”

Each collection includes your session, professional editing, and a set number of high-resolution digital images. You’ll also receive a complimentary print credit to be used in the first 30 days to put toward custom albums or wall art… designed to make it easy for you to bring your memories to life and enjoy for years to come.

Session fees start at $350. This includes a planning call, session prep, session time, and a gallery for viewing only.

Once you’ve had a chance to view your images we’ll set up an ordering session where you will select and purchase the images you want and decide how you want them (ie…printed, digital, or both)

Clients typically spend between $1,200 – $3,000 total.

A complimentary studio wardrobe is available for your use, but you’re not required to use it, and there’s no dress code. However, I recommend neutral, light colors as they complement my shooting and editing style beautifully. You’ll receive a prep guide with helpful styling tips after booking, and I’m always available if you need any guidance along the way!

I open my booking calendar twice a year. Booking begins in January for March-August sessions and in July for September – February sessions. I suggest booking as early as you can to have more date options available.  If you need a date that is not available on my booking calendar feel free to ask. I occasionally have changes that don’t make their way to the calendar.

In our digital world, there’s something powerful about printed photos like heirloom albums, framed portraits, and fine art canvases. They turn your digital images into something real that you can touch and see every day.

Having images on display in such a tangible way boosts a sense of belonging and pride, particularly for children, who see their place in the family story and how much they are loved every day on the walls of their home.

It’s also important that these items last a lifetime, which is why I’ve put effort into sourcing the best products available. This ensures your memories are preserved in the highest quality, ready to be enjoyed by future generations.

For a full session you can expect a minimum of 40 images, but I usually deliver more. Little Legacies Annual Portraits are approximately 5-10 images.

Because the session retainer is non-refundable I offer two options in case we need to reschedule.

If the weather is not cooperating you can opt to hold your session in my studio located in Manistee, MI or we will attempt to reschedule for the next available date that works for both of us.

In the unlikely event that we are not able to find a suitable date for rescheduling you will be able to use the money paid towards a future session with me. This session will need to be booked within 12 months of the original session date.

Extended family sessions, also known as generational sessions, are ideal for large groups comprising multiple families. This typically includes children or siblings with their families, parents, grandparents, and more.

During these sessions, I photograph the entire group and then break it down into individual families and other groupings such as grandchildren with grandparents, just the children, adult siblings, etc. We can include any groupings you’d like!

While I strive to capture playfulness and intimacy, especially with families that have young children, extended family sessions may not always provide the time or focus needed to truly capture the quiet, intimate moments I am known for.

Regular family sessions, on the other hand, are designed for one family only and offer the leisurely pace and playful atmosphere needed to connect on a deeper level.

Yes! Families often make the trip from cities like Grand Rapids, Holland, Kalamazoo, Traverse City and beyond to enjoy a unique photography experience here in Manistee. Its coastal charm and stunning landscapes create a space where genuine connections can unfold.
