Her directions were clear and effortless, helping us focus on just being ourselves while she captured the magic. She matched our energy as a couple which allowed us to just be ourselves..."

Ivana & Gerard
"Alyssa’s photos are beyond amazing. Her professionalism, genuine nature, and calm spirit is contagious! She worked so well with our family, including a 4-year-old and dog. She was patient and really went to my daughter’s rhythm of things. The results of her photos were beautiful and I’ve never felt so comfortable doing photoshoots like these, but she made it so easy and we all felt so natural. I’m already looking for another excuse to book her!"
Isa
"I am genuinely not very photogenic, nor do I feel comfortable in front of the camera, but Alyssa was able to capture the perfect moments! From posing us to creating scenarios for us to create, the photos turned our picture perfect. I can’t wait to book her for bigger life events :)"

FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what should I expect?
I send all of my clients a guide when they book with me! It has info on what to wear, what to expect, and how to prepare both physically and mentally. I'll be there with you every step of the way making sure you feel confident and like the best version of yourself.
How long does it take to get our photos?
You will receive about 5 sneak peeks within 48 hours of your session. Your final online gallery will be delivered to you no later 6 weeks (sometimes less depending on my schedule). You can download all the photos from the gallery and share your favorites!
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes, I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story outside of San Diego it will require a travel fee depending on where it takes place. Don't worry, I always try to find the cheapest way to get there because we love getting things done on a budget!
What if we're typically awkward on camera?
It's normal to feel a little awkward and nervous! As your trusted photographer, I'll guide you through your session with ease and offer support throughout the experience. A big part of my style is documenting my clients living in the moment so you don't have to worry so much about posing. You'll be surprised by how amazing you'll look having fun throughout your session!
