FINE ART PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING WEST MICHIGAN AND BEYOND
Hi, I'm Alyssa!

I grew up around cameras. My dad was a photographer in Muskegon, and I spent weekends in his studio learning how much a single photo can actually matter, and how it can shape memories over time. A good portrait can change how someone sees themselves.
I take portraits that make people feel genuinely confident. The kind where you look at it and think, "Damn, okay, I see it now."
Here's the thing: most people think they're bad at posing. They're not. They just need someone to actually direct them. I'll tell you exactly what to do—where to put your hands, how to stand, when to move. Nothing stiff or awkward. Just natural poses that actually work for your body and your personality. It usually only takes a few tries before you start to find your inner model!
I shoot seniors, families, couples, professionals, pets, products, whoever needs a photo they're actually proud of. If you've got a creative vision or a weird idea, even better. Let's do it.
The best photo of you hasn't been taken yet. Let's change that.

With me, you’ll get the best of both worlds. I’ll capture that classic, posed portrait for the mantel, while also creating candid, storytelling images full of laughter, personality, and connection.
I’ll guide you just enough so you feel comfortable, but keep things relaxed and natural so your true selves shine through. The result is a collection of photographs that are both timeless and authentic.
