If you are looking for beautiful intimate photos with those you love, you are in the right place!
“Alissa’s work is unique, natural and stunning. I love the way she captures our personalities and emotions so perfectly. Our shoots with her are easy, creative and fun, and she has an unmatched ability to turn the most mundane moments into the most extraordinary photographs. Her passion for her work is evident and her talent is exceptional.”
– Molly C.

Newborn
When the fog clears you will be grateful that you decided to document all of your little one’s tiny details while they were still so little.
The best time to schedule your newborn session is in your second trimester. Once your little one arrives you will be swept up into the newborn life of diapers, sleepless nights, and your new full time job of swooning over your sweet little bundle of joy. You will not want to be trying to find and book a photographer.
However, if your babe has already made their entrance, don’t wait! We can still get beautiful images of this season! Contact us asap!

Family
As your family grows, and new chapters open, this session is a particularly important one as the relationships and personalities within the family are constantly evolving. Don’t miss out on preserving these precious memories today!
Family sessions are a mix of portraiture and lifestyle images. Depending on your vibe, we’ll pick one of my preselected gorgeous outdoor locations or my historic downtown studio.
I keep this session fun and relaxed and encourage lots of playfulness so that I can capture your genuine personalities.
If you are hoping to grab a session while you are in town for vacation contact us as soon as you know your dates!
The ideal time to book is at least a month or two out. However, we can always check on last minute openings if you need something quicker!


Maternity
Growing life. The magic of feeling movement under your fingers. A second heartbeat thumping along with yours. To know that your life is sustaining another.
Pregnancy is one of the most incredible things that a body can do.
This is also a season when a woman often feels unattractive, exhausted, maybe even scared… but there is massive beauty to be found… even if only to be realized once the season is over.
These are the final days before baby. Before your life changes, your heart expands, your hands are full, and your nights are unimaginably complicated.
Let’s preserve some of the magic for you to reminisce upon in years to come.
The best time to schedule your pregnancy session is 35 – 37 weeks. If you are expecting multiples you’ll want to do as early as 24-26 weeks.


Baby & Childhood
These little ones are changing so quickly and drastically. Especially in their younger years
This session is a wonderful and easy way to capture all the exciting changes during baby’s first year. Petite 30 min. sessions are only offered in my historic Manistee studio.
I keep these sessions clean and minimally propped so that I am truly capturing your little one’s essence.
A simple toy, favorite stuffy, or blankie is all that is needed, if anything!
* I also offer a birthday session with optional cake and milk bath. The birthday session is a full length session 60min.





Motherhood
Motherhood is my specialty. I know all too well the ache of wanting time to slow and the desire to bottle up every single detail with our babes. Feeling like we never get enough.
This session is for the mother grasping on to every slow moment and every detail. Desperate to remember the chubby fingers exploring her face, the expressions, the feelings and smells… for a glimpse of the love she has for her child to be captured forever in an image.
