Hi, I’m ALYSSA
Love, Alyssa.R
..now we’re here!
Photographer / storyteller since 2013
Since I could remember I’ve been in love with photography and fascinated with cameras but never in a million years did I think it would turn into this. My love for it all started with a disposable Kodak and polaroid cameras in the 90’s, Canon Powershots in the ‘00’s (y’know the ones with the wrist strap) and eventually getting my first DSLR in 2012 which led me to venture into the business part of it in June 2013. It’s been so amazing meeting so many new couples and families and even becoming close friends with some, I’m extremely thankful for everyone who has supported me in the past, currently and future.
Now that I’ve told my story, let’s get started on telling yours! I can’t wait to meet you!

the spill about me:
01.
Growing up I've always dreamed of having my own family and a solid marriage. I honestly think that’s what led me to be so passionate about family photography and weddings and just overall capturing life & love. And I thank God everyday, for the life he sent my way, not only did I get to live that dream, but I continue to witness and live it with my clients now.
I was born and raised in Central Valley, California but currently living in the Bay Area with my family and I’m loving every bit of it. I’m a mother to two wonderful kids and a dog mom to three furry pups. I grew up quiet and shy but thanks to this wonderful world of photography and constantly working with and meeting new people, I’ve been able to break out of that shell and it’s been an amazing journey.

Most people don’t know this but I LOVE to sing, if I wasn’t playing with a camera growing up, I was most likely singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror.

I’m pretty much fully self taught for the most part with the help of YouTube university, google + trial and error.
