I planned to propose in a place I've never seen and I'm not particularly close to. Alyssa worked with the hotel to make sure everything was perfect for us without much effort from me. She gave me clear instructions to make the moment and photos magical. Alyssa went above and beyond twice over! We got 100+ beautiful photos (plus black and white versions) over a 30 minute session, edited and sent to us within a week. Highly highly recommend!!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Alyssa/ Owner of Alyssa Staats Photography during…read moreour mini session. I'm a mom of three, and let's just say my kids were not exactly cooperative the day of our session. But somehow, Alyssa managed to capture the most beautiful, natural photos and they look incredible. We've used this location for the past four years, but this year we worked with her, and even in the same setting- the photos came out fresh, unique, and absolutely. She was calm, patient, and incredibly creative. She found ways to bring out the best in all of us, even when I thought it wasn't possible. The end results completely exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Alyssa highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is both talented and easy to work with, she's the one! Megan Q. Michigan City/July 2025 Session

We were recommended to the Frame Shop (formerly the Frame Factory) and Matt Bean by a local artist…read moreand dealer. We had a large photograph which was over 100 years old. We wanted to frame and hang it in our home. We spoke to Matt and explained what we would like to do. We showed him the photograph and he proceeded to make suggestions on the frame style and color, mat color and thickness, the type of glass as well as decorative edging on the mat. Yes there is different types of glass and thicknesses of mats that can make a difference. After several days, Matt sent a picture to me on my phone showing what it would look like for our approval. It wasn't inexpensive but it turned out to be exquisite and just what we envisioned. The professionalism, ability to turn our ideas and vision into reality and the timing took a talented artist and framer's mind to do all of this. Yes you could get it done cheaper but not the way this photograph turned out. We are to say the least pleased.
