Hi - I’m Alyssa!

I’m a Minneapolis-based wedding and family photographer with over a decade of experience.

I create emotional, storytelling pictures that reflect your relationship, your values, and the life you’ve created together.

I’m intentional, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Things I love: weekly potlucks with my besties, waking up an hour early to drink coffee and snuggle my pup Luna, and homemade pizza night with my sweet partner Tyler.

“If anyone reading this needs a great LGBTQIA+ photographer, Alyssa is the one.

I don’t have enough words to describe how great she truly is as a photographer and a person.”

- Sue & Rachael

If we’re meeting for the first time

here’s what you should know about my photography:

 
 

My style: emotional + storytelling

My photography style is warm and natural: a mix of candids brimming with emotion, alongside joyful and low-pressure portraits that feel authentic to you.

 

What sets me apart: Printed art 

I’m a big believer in making tangible, printed art with your photographs, and I include a fine art printed album in every one of my packages.

 

My Approach: Inclusive + affirming

I’m a body-positive feminist, and committed to creating a safe, celebratory space for every person I work with. I’m also part of the LGBTQ+ community and love photographing queer wedding and families!

“Every aspect of working with Alyssa was a dream! She photographed our wedding in 2020 and she recently took our newborn photos.

Her presence is so calming, warm and balanced. She is impeccably detail-oriented and everything she touches is transformed into a stunning piece of artwork, with an intentional narrative.

We will cherish our artwork for a lifetime.”
