Meet the Photographer

Hi there! I'm Alyssa, and I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. Let me give you a quick rundown of who I am and what I'm all about.

I wear a few different hats—I'm a photographer, a wife, Board Director of The Maine Professional Photographers Association, and a mom of two awesome kids. My husband and I have been partners in crime for 15 years.  After spending nine very hot, cramped years in Virginia, we decided to pack up and make Maine our new home in 2018. Where you can usually find us at someone's soccer practice/game or enjoying a cozy movie or game night. 

Why I'm so passionate about photography? It's not just about taking pictures; it's about capturing moments that speak to a new perspective, showing people the beauty of themselves in a way that they wouldn't normally see. I want my clients to feel comfortable, confident and powerful in their images. Photography has this unique ability to freeze time and preserve the emotions and energy of a moment, and I find that incredibly powerful. 

In 2023 I was offered a seat on the MPPA Board of Directors. Now in my second year, my focus has been on how best to support my community and offering education options to photographers of all skill levels. Bringing in educators and speakers to help Maine photographers keep up with an ever changing and growing profession. Serving my community and uplifting fellow artists has been an extremely rewarding experience. 

When I'm not busy with my camera, you can find me in the kitchen cooking and baking sweet treats. I also a have a bit of a "need for speed"—I love fast cars, I recently got my motorcycle license!  And of course, I'm a big fan of curling up with a good book and a cup of tea whenever I get the chance. 

So, whether you're here to explore my photography or just to chat, I'm glad you stopped by. Feel free to grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and make yourself comfortable. Let's create some magic together!
