Timeless
Honest, Romantic
Intentional
I believe extraordinary beauty lives in quiet moments
My work is rooted in connection and simplicity — with a soft, romantic approach to the everyday moments that make a season unforgettable. So much of what I capture are things you don’t even realize you’ll want to remember — until you’re holding the image, and suddenly, there it is. That feeling. That phase. That little piece of life you didn’t know you’d long for.
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.
My APPROACH IS SIMPLe...
your Images should be seen, be held... live on your walls — not just your hard drive.
When the session is over, that’s when the real magic begins.
There’s something sacred about holding a photograph in your hands — the feeling of thumbing through pages and suddenly seeing a life you’ve lived. Those little faces, those tiny hands, the way you were held... it all comes rushing back.
That’s why I believe your images deserve more than a folder on your desktop. Together, we’ll create printed pieces that preserve your story — thoughtfully, tangibly, and forever.
