love notes

  • Alyssa Lovdahl did an amazing job making me look and feel beautiful during the maternity shoot. She has an incredible eye for poses and lighting, the pictures turned out natural and magical! Pregnancy has not been a beautiful or comfortable experience but Alyssa helped me feel so beautiful and comfortable during this shoot! So impressed with her work!

    Tara

  • Alyssa did a Mother/sons family shoot for us, and I was blown away how well they turned out. She caught all the good even with tired and cranky kids. I let her do what she does best and Alyssa let the boys lead and absolutely captured us to the core. The photos truly show the immense love I have for my boys. Her style, lighting, and creativity is excellent. She is also wonderful with kids and can come up with ways to get their attention and have fun with it all.

    Zoe

  • Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! She made us feel so comfortable so quickly with her friendly and supportive nature. 10/10 Highly Recommend!

Family

CANDID. ORGANIC. LIFESTYLE.

My approach to family photography is free-flowing, laid back and candid. I don’t promise anything pinterest perfect and I don’t force it, especially with little kids. Which sometimes means your photos won’t look like your pinterest board, but they will be beautiful and unique to you and your family. I use a lot of candid prompts with natural movement and sometimes, take a step back and document moments as they naturally unfold. the one thing i can promise is that we will have a fun time and if you value capturing candid, fleeting moments and real emotions you’ll be obsessed with your photos.
