Hi there and thank you for visiting!

I'm Alissa and I am so excited to meet you!!

I am a mid-western girl who was born in Cleveland, lived in Chicago for 8 years and now I live in the Dayton, Ohio area with my husband and 3 children.

I am a senior portrait photographer who has been serving the Dayton, Ohio area since 2016. I am extremely passionate about giving my seniors the best experience possible while having a lot of fun in the process. We will create beautiful photos for you to cherish for a lifetime, while laughing and having a great time!

I am a self-taught photographer who has taken many online photography courses, in-person mentorships and is constantly learning and growing in my photography skills. I fell in love with photography on our honeymoon in Greece and became obsessed with it when we had kids. I am always reaching for my camera to capture everyday moments.

I have photographed just about every type of subject; Weddings, Families, Children, Newborns, and Business Branding. After dipping my toes and spreading myself thin, I realized that I feel most connected with high school seniors, so I am creating a niche photography business that allows me to specialize in that age group.

My Goal

My goal during our time together is for you to feel amazing! We will get to know each other so you won't feel awkward in front of the camera. I will help you feel comfortable so that we can capture the authentic, real YOU!! I want you to walk away from your session feeling confident in knowing that you have photos that represent your style, your personality, and your individuality! Together we will capture you in this exciting time of your life!
