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

She captured every detail. Each one is more beautiful than the next. It was so hot the day of our wedding but Kate didn't care. She still got every shot and made me feel like I had my best friend looking out for me. I did not have to worry with Kate around. Thank you so much for not only taking the most amazing photos but for helping the day go smoothly!

All our photos show amazing emotion, variety of poses, and capture our day beautifully. Holly listened to all our requests and concerns leading up to our day.
