Whether you are looking for inspiration on what to wear or need some help wrangling up the kiddos... I am here for YOU! I care deeply about my clients and their experience. My intention is to be organized and prepared so that your session is relaxed and stress-free. My photography style is natural, warm, and vibrant. I will provide you with fun, interactive prompts that will allow me to capture organic and candid moments. I will also guide you in poses that are natural, flattering, and genuine.
Where to even begin? Alyssa has captured some of our family's best and most treasured moments, including our first pregnancy, the reveal that we were having twins during our second pregnancy, and our twins' newborn session. Time and time again Alyssa has managed to make us feel comfortable and confident during our sessions and has delivered the most amazing and beautiful images. When you hire Alyssa as your photographer, you are hiring the sweetest, kindest, most patient person, and I cannot recommend her enough! - Addy U.
We LOVED our experience with Alyssa. The entire process from booking our session to receiving our photos went perfectly. She made us all feel very comfortable during our session and is great with kids! She is very professional and also just the nicest person you'll ever meet. We really enjoyed having her spend an hour with us and she captured some great memories and beautiful photos. I highly recommend her! - Emily B.
Alyssa truly created a 5 star experience in my book! She's so beyond talented at what she does and it shows during your session and in the photos after! Personally I get camera shy, but she walks you through all the posing and was hyping me up the whole way through! She has the sweetest personality and I'm truly fortunate to have her do my senior photos!! She's the person I'd recommend if you had a need for a photographer. :) - Maddy E.
We LOVED working with Alyssa for our maternity photos. She is so sweet and made our experience very enjoyable and fun! :) I was VERY happy with every single picture she took! We can't wait to work with her again for newborn pictures! - Jeni R.
Alyssa was amazing at taking our family photos this summer. We loved the sneak peeks and the full gallery we received back from her. She worked so well with all the kids and helped make them smile. She is so easy to work with, super friendly, fun, and very organized. I definitely recommend her for any of your photo needs! - Emily D.
We are Alyssa’s newest, biggest fans! Our son’s senior session could not have been better - absolutely top notch photography! Alyssa offers professionalism with a smile and artful vision in her photographs. Thanks so much Alyssa! - Jenn B.

Yes! You will have to choose a collection when you book your session with me. However, as the end of your session approaches, you may decide that you would like to add more time. This is not a problem at all, unless I have another session I need to get to. I want to make sure you get everything you want out of our time together!
I will provide guidance on this question in my pricing guide, but ultimately it's up to you how you choose to spend our time together! Some people would rather have fewer images with a variety of locations/outfits. Other people like to spend that time being creative in other ways, such as playing with poses, props, etc.
I completely understand that life happens and sometimes sessions need to be rescheduled. I am willing to work with you, but keep in mind that my schedule might not be as flexible. A new contract may be required if the second session date occurs more than 3 months from the previously booked date.
Most sessions take place outdoors around Park Rapids, in my studio, OR in the location of your choosing. I have multiple location options picked out and available, but if you have a special place in mind I would love to come to you! I do charge an additional $0.65 per mile when traveling beyond 20 miles from my home.
No, you do not. Once you receive access to your online gallery the photos are YOURS! However, upon gallery delivery, you will receive access to a professional print shop. This is the best opportunity to get your photos printed at the highest quality, with accurate colors that will look just like digital image.
Your edited, high resolution images will be delivered to you in a private online gallery where you will be able to save, download, and print any photos that you'd like. You will have access to this online link for 6 months.
For both your retainer and the final payment, I will email you an invoice through my client management system. Here you can safely and securely pay for your session via debit/credit card. However, I also accept cash or check.
This depends on what collection you choose. For example, if you book a 60 minute session you will receive 60+ edited images. Depending on the lighting, mood, and overall style of the session, I sometimes like to mix in a few black + white images.
Welcome to my studio! It has been a dream of mine ever since starting my business to own my very own studio space. I believe that this is such a valuable asset and option for my clients. Whether you are looking to book a cozy "in-home" styled session, formal headshots, or anything in between... this space is perfect for you! At no additional cost, my clients have access to this bright, neutral, and modern space located on my property. I can't wait to share it with you! :)
(Please note: there may not be adequate space to photograph groups larger than 5-6)
