Maternity

I'm not sure how they've gotten so big because I'm certain it was just yesterday that we were shushing and swaddling them the same way I soothe my tiny clients. It is true that the days are long but years are gone in a blink!

Preserving these first moments and milestones is why my job is so important, and I have a feeling that's why you're here. Maybe you've had a friend share my work with you or you saw my 5 star rating and you're just now finding me on your own. Either way, we've all come to the same realization- babies don't keep, and I'd love to be the photographer to capture this incredibly special time in your life. 

I am so excited to hear from you, meet your family, and capture everyone's unique personalities during your photo session. Let's chat!

ello!! That's me, Alyssum (pronounced Uh-lih-some) with my incredible husband Kenny and my two (not so little anymore) babies, Tyler and Lily.

They will always be at the top of my list! They're my muses and the reason I rekindled my love of photography that began as an adolescent. For that (among a million other things) I am so grateful.

My Favorite Things

During the day when I'm not photographing a family or hanging out with my own, you'll most often find me with airpods and an audiobook! If you're my soulsister and have a Goodreads account, find me so we can share our favorites with each other!

We were one of the many families that got a jeep and a camper when the world shut down in 2020 and we haven't looked back. Not only has it been a way for us to spend more outdoor time together, but I've also been able to incorporate our camping trips into mountain photo sessions. Match made in heaven! Who's up for an offroad adventure to the top of the world with me?

Alyssum is truly talented! We have trusted her with our newborn baby and toddler over the years and I can honestly say the quality of her pictures and her artistic eye are top notch! She is also so kind, gentle and great with children.

Through crankiness, diaper changes, and kiddo unpredictability, Alyssum is kind, thoughtful, patient, and plays and laughs along with my kids AND somehow manages to capture the most perfect pictures! I will never use another photographer to capture my family photos!!

Alyssum is the most incredible photographer I have ever had the privilege to work with. I feel seen in her photos. I never have to worry about an unflattering angle, she guides you through where to look to help avoid those third trimester double chins.

...Not only that, but she has this ability to immediately put you at ease. This is why I have used her for maternity, newborn, mom & me, and family photos. I won’t go anywhere else.

I had so much anxiety going into newborn photos worrying if my baby was going to be fussy the whole time and not cooperate! Alyssum made the whole experience so comforting and it was so easy to trust her in capturing beautiful photos. The studio session was the absolute perfect environment for calming the nerves and taking your time to work with your baby. I cannot say more great things about Alyssum!

The photos and moments Alyssum captures are SO incredibly beautiful! I always feel like it's such chaos during the photos as we have two toddlers but Alyssum always manages to capture so many incredible shots that are truly reflective of this season of our lives. Which is exactly the reason we choose Alyssum as our family photographer -- to capture these exact moments!! As we just finished our second family milestone session, two years in a row, we will absolutely return for future years. Alyssum, you do such an amazing job -- thank you!!!

We did a newborn session in studio with Alyssum. It was one of the best photography experiences we’ve ever had. Her studio is very comfortable and her client closet is amazing. ...My husband is not a huge fan of getting photos taken but he also felt very comfortable. Alyssum was great with our newborn son and 2.5 year old daughter and took some gorgeous photos. ...Everything about the experience was easy which I appreciated so much. And we ended up with photos that I will treasure forever. We highly recommend Alyssum!

Alyssum is truly the best!! From maternity photos, to newborn photos of both of our babies, and family photos in between, we are always blown away with the photos!! She truly captures the moment and the special times in our lives like no one else. We cherish our photos so much!!!

We have used Alyssum twice now for photos and she does such an amazing job!!! Her work is absolute perfection. She is also very easy going and fun to work with. Our son isn't a fan of strangers or being put in the spotlight and she really was so good and gentle with knowing how to engage him in photos.
...She is the definition of you get what you pay for, actually her services are worth even more in my opinion. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about Alyssum! Her photography is beautiful; light and airy. Alyssum herself is a gem and she’s able to create such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. She’s so kind and fun to work with. We did our newborn photos with her and we recently did a spring mini session when our daughter turned 16 months.

Because families aren't one size fits all, I've designed all of my collections to include both digital images and complimentary print credit to use toward artwork that speaks to you. Your family photography will be passed on for generations, no matter how you choose to store and display it.  If only a handful of digital images is all you need, ask about my petite maternity, milestone, and family sessions.
