experience

The way they looked at you when they thought nobody was watching.

The feeling of this season of life that you'll someday wish

The songs you'll forget the words to.

you could step back into for just five minutes.

Think less "everyone look at the camera and smile" and more "let's make your own movie."

My sessions are built around movement, storytelling, emotion, and all the little moments that happen naturally in between. The best photos usually happen when you stop thinking about the camera entirely.

I'm inspired by old movies, music, nostalgia, flash photography, and moments that feel like memories while they're happening. That's why my work tends to feel a little messy, a little cinematic, and a lot like real life.

Expect prompts instead of poses, room for spontaneity, and plenty of opportunities for the unexpected to happen.

Those moments usually end up becoming everyone's favorites.

Whether that's your favorite beach town, a mountain you've always loved, the city where you met, or somewhere completely new - I'll probably say yes.

frequently asked questions

Three to four hours?! What are we doing for that long?

Trust me — it flies by.
We're not taking photos for four straight hours. We'll grab food, wander around town, explore multiple locations, change outfits, sit and talk, take breaks, and create space for moments to happen naturally. Think road trip with a camera instead of traditional photoshoot.

We're awkward in front of the camera.

Perfect.
Most of my couples say this before their session and leave saying, "Wait... that was actually fun?" I use prompts, movement, and activities instead of stiff poses.

Will you help us pick outfits?

Absolutely. Outfit guidance is included with every session and I'm always happy to help narrow down options.

Can we bring our dog?

Please do. I am aggressively pro-dog.

What if it rains?

Some of my favorite images have happened in less-than-perfect weather. If conditions become unsafe or genuinely miserable, we'll reschedule.

Will you travel?

Without hesitation.

Can we do something weird?

Please.
Those are usually my favorite sessions.

Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely.
Photography is an investment, but I never want finances to be the reason someone misses out on preserving a season of life they'll never get back. I'm happy to split payments up however works best for you — whether that's 2 payments, 6 payments, 12 payments, or anything in between.
We'll figure out a plan that feels manageable for you so you can focus on the fun part

Can we include our hobbies, interests, or weird ideas?

PLEASE.
Want to go fishing? Visit your favorite bookstore? Play mini golf? Bake cookies? Skateboard? Hang out at an arcade? The more personal your session feels, the more meaningful your photos will be years from now.

(Justine Ethier)

This experience was everything I could dream of and more! I had so many questions and she was so helpful through it all. Truly the most amazing soul! If you’re looking for someone to capture your life in one frame, book with Alyssa!!!

(Cassidy Wolfe)

Alyssa was such a joy & blessing to us on our wedding day💛 She went above & beyond our expectations! She captured the heart behind every moment of our day in such a creative, thoughtful, & personal way. I had 0 anxiety or worries about how our photos would turn out because she was SO thorough in the preparation process, & SO sweet & accommodating to any of our questions or ideas for our big day. Zupko Photography gave us more than pretty photos to hang on our wall. She gave us perfectly captured memories- preserved emotions that we can relive over & over again💛
