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!!

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

As I had other photoshoots but as I would later come to find out none like this . Not only am I a beginner I am a plus size model that comes with its challenges one of the biggest being my insecurities and self esteem issues . But I would soon come to find out that this wasn't just anytype of photoshoot and just some photographer trying to pass time taking photos as a hobby to build a portfolio. He was invested , professional, and most importantly for me compassionate. The compassion was a big piece for me because of the insecurities and self-esteem issues about my body but that quickly melted away it wasn't even like a photo shoot it was like it turned into an artist painting on a canvas and as such things went smoothly just like that from there . It felt like the whole world had just disappeared in that moment as I posed with the air slightly hitting my face with my eyes closed . It was the most beautiful part of the shoot ( the bedsheet and bed poses ) . Time and time again I come across my photos and I relive the moments of every shot I took with Chris. I can honestly say I cannot wait for what the future holds and to have this experience again would be amazing . I have never felt so good so alive so ...I mean I can't even in words tell you really I want it all over again...and again and then some ....
