Hi! I’m Alyssa, Your Photographer
Just a little background on me - I moved to Myrtle Beach in 2005 from Pittsburgh, PA. I used to work as a preschool teacher before pursuing my career as a photographer and becoming a wife and mom of two sweet babies! My passion has always been taking pictures and I’m so grateful to call this my job. I would love nothing more than to capture memories for you!
Meet My Family
If you follow me at all you will be sure to see them a lot. My husband is my biggest fan and supporter. He builds all my amazing photography props and is my second shooter/assistant whenever I need him. You will also see him during Christmas in my sessions with a jolly white beard! My two kids are my favorite models and were my inspiration to turn my photography into a business.
