things in-between

My lifestyle sessions are about connection over perfection. Whether you're soaking in the sweet chaos of family life, wrapped in the intimacy of a slow evening with your partner, or pausing to breathe in the beauty of pregnancy - these are your real, lived-in moments. And they deserve to be remembered.
We won't worry about poses or perfection. We'll focus on movement, emotion, and what makes your story yours - messy hair, belly laughs, soft glances, tiny hands, and everything in between.
The days are long, the years are fast - and the in-between moments are everything
family, maternity, and couple/engagement sessions are priced at $550+hst
Alyssa is AMAZING!! She was so patient with us and our insane dogs. She made us laugh so much which created beautiful, natural photos of us. We couldn’t be happier with the images we received. We ordered big prints for our house the same day we received them because we loved them that much! Only issue was picking out our favourites because the whole gallery was incredible.

love notes
I honestly cannot recommend Alyssa enough as a photographer. She has captured my life through the lens, from my daughter as a newborn, now almost 7, she captured my surprise engagement and countless family sessions! I wouldn’t trust anyone with my memories more than Alyssa. She is a fabulous photographer with a true knack for capturing photos, but more than that, she makes me (and my children!) feel so comfortable during every session. My once shy daughter now asks when Alyssa is taking photos next!! Truly, honestly, could not recommend Alyssa more! ❤️
Alyssa makes me (and my children!) feel so comfortable during every session!
love notes
We just received a sneak peek from our shoot with Alyssa and, WOW! They are incredibly gorgeous. The shoot itself was an absolute blast! Alyssa made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, despite us feeling a bit nervous before we started. We ended up having so much fun, and that was ALL thanks to Alyssa. 10/10 would recommend Alyssa! Can't wait for our next session!

Kids are kids, and I fully expect them to act like kids during the session. Please don't expect them to sit quietly and follow every direction - it's unrealistic and will only cause you stress. I always approach the session as a new friend who's just there to play and have a good time. I have all the patience in the world, and I find that being easy-going translates to happy kids and the best images.

The best thing you can do is to let go and enjoy! I know it's hard not to be stressed before your session, but kids pick up on anxiety really easily. We'll have the best chance at getting gorgeous images if we let them happen naturally (with a little guidance from me, of course!) Your only job is to relax, have fun, and love on your kids and significant other.

Unless you're wanting an in-home session, all sessions are held outdoors. I have multiple favourite locations throughout Sudbury and the surrounding areas. Once we've booked in your session you'll receive a questionnaire where you'll have the opportunity let me know what kind of landscapes you prefer and I can give you suggestions from there.

It can be totally normal to feel this way leading up to your session. Believe it or not, pretty much EVERYONE tells me this, and it never turns out to be true! I'll always coach your through your session, and I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve to keep you and your family looking natural! And when you're having a great time, you'll look more beautiful than you thought was possible. I promise!

I keep a number of backup dates open each month in case of bad weather, and there is no fee to reschedule to a new date if it's raining or overcast. Sudbury weather is notoriously unpredictable and changes very quickly, so I typically wait to call off a session until the morning of. Sunshine is a huge component of my style, and it's definitely worth waiting for a beautiful day!

I'm so glad you asked! I know how stressful trying to plan outfits can be, and it's one less thing I want you to have to worry about. Not only do I send a style guide to every client on booking, I also include an additional online styling service to help you pick out coordinating clothing pieces for the whole family should you need extra help.

Oh heck yes! I'll never say no to bringing along your four legged family members should you wish to include them in some of the the session. Be sure to bring their leash and favourite treats!
