Maryland & Delaware Storytelling photographer
the poetry of your motherhood
preserving
It’s about the pulse beneath the surface—the quiet exhales, the tangled hands, and the unspoken language of your love. I’m here for the raw, unscripted beauty that makes your family’s story a masterpiece. These are the fragments of time that stay with you—forever held in the light, preserved as art.
For the mamas who crave art that feels like home.
As a military spouse and mama to a busy toddler, I know the beautiful, chaotic rhythm of a life built on love. When I’m not documenting your story, you’ll find me curating our home, chasing the sun, and finding poetry in our everyday mess.
I’m more than just the person behind the lens; I’m a kindred spirit who believes that feeling comfortable is the first step to feeling seen. I’m here to be your guide and your friend, lingering in the golden light until every story is told—because to me, the connection we build is just as sacred as the art we create.
hi, I'm alyssa
There is a sacred kind of magic in the way you love your people—in the loud, joyful chaos and the quiet, rhythmic stillnesses. I don’t just take pictures; I preserve the heartbeat of now. From the sanctuary of your home to the sun-kissed beauty of the shoreline, I seek the invisible threads that bind your family together.
This is an invitation to let the world fall away and simply be. Whether we are nesting in your living room or chasing the light where the earth meets the sea, I am here to witness the raw, the real, and the fleeting—transforming your everyday moments into art that breathes."
Raw, emotive art for the soulful mama
a story worth holding
Did a newborn shoot with Alyssa. She was super kind and made me feel super comfortable, acted as a friend. The place was stunning and cozy. Definitely recommend! The process of booking was super simple and quick and good communication leading up to booking!
“She was super kind and made me feel super comfortable”
We are absolutely blown away by our photos! Thank you so much Alyssa for making us feel so comfortable. Very professional indeed! Till our next photo session!
“We are absolutely blown away by our photos!”
Alyssa made this experience so much fun! We laughed probably the whole time. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable the entire time. I had the best time doing this shoot with her!
“She made me feel beautiful and comfortable the whole time.”
We have booked with Alyssa three separate times now! Every session gets better and better. It truly feels like I’m just hanging out with a friend! Our most recent breastfeeding session had me EXTREMELY nervous because my infant has the biggest case of stranger danger and I was unsure on if he would cooperate! You seriously wouldn’t even know he was nervous around anyone with how Alyssa is quite literally the baby whisperer!
It was freezing and somehow she got him to laugh and smile the whole time!
I will recommend Alyssa forever ! So much so that even after we move we are making plans to meet up and do our family pictures with her even after we live in separate states! The best photographer in the DMV
“Alyssa is quite literally the baby whisperer”
I had such an amazing experience with Alyssa! She made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her down-to-earth, calming presence made the session feel natural and enjoyable. She took the time to guide me through poses while still letting things feel authentic, and the results turned out absolutely beautiful. Can’t thank her enough
“Can't thank her enough”
I have now done 4 amazing sessions all the way from pregnancy to 18m old. Each time I’ve had amazing communication, a bunch of different poses to do/pick from, price is reasonable, and she knows how keep littles distracted/looking at the camera for photos! I will definitely be going back for more in the future and love that people I recommend have gone and loved her as well!
“I have now done 4 amazing photoshoots...”
I set up the photo session for my daughter, son in law and Grandaughter. Alyssa was so very helpful and patient when we had to take a break to feed the hungry, tired baby. The studio was cozy and the wardrobe choices were especially warming. I highly recommend her for any type of photo session.
“Alyssa was amazing!”
