I’m so glad you’re here.

In my 10 years of photographing weddings and portraits, I’ve found the solution to feeling awkward in front of the camera.

You know when you come home after a long day of work. You open the front door and before you even kick off your shoes, you feel like you can breathe a little deeper + all your worries seem to go away. Not because you live in some extravagant house or everything is tidy and perfect, and free of chaos. But quite the opposite. Despite the mess and chaos you still feel lighter and at ease. Because it’s home. A place you feel safe. A place where you don’t have to perform. A play where you can feel a little lighter.  It’s home. It’s your haven.

Well, that’s what it’s like when you step in front of my camera. I believe that I was created to cultivate a space for you to feel AT HOME when you’re getting your photo taken. Not to perform or pose. Not to feel the pressure of getting a create photo. But to let your worries go, have fun, and feel comfortable. SO that who you are shines through your photographs. That paired with my artists eye to document beauty, is going to result in you receiving your dream photos and elevated experience. You job is to show up as your self, my job is to do the rest. And along the way, we’ll build trust, connection, and create something beautiful that reflects who you are and the love you share.

Now, before I ask who you are, I’ll get the conversation started and share who I am. I’m Alyssa, but my best friends call my Lyss.

• a San Diego native, wife to an incredibly hot supportive husband, mama to the cutest baby girl (who’s not quite a baby anymore!!), dog mama to 2 wild pups. 

• I’ll never say no to an iced vanilla late, a glass of sav blanc, a trip to the farmers market, or a beach day.

• My favorite date night is at our local hole in the wall Italian restaurant where they know us by name.

• I’ve traveled the world photographing weddings, but my favorite ones have nothing to do with the location, but the couples who made it so incredibly special.

I’m all about connection, so if you feel like we could be friends, click the link below to start chatting.
