The sparkle in their eyes when they giggle, the warmth of a hug that feels like home, and the moments in between—beautiful chaos that makes you feel like 'this is who we are'.
Our time together will feel natural and unhurried, with space for you to simply be yourselves. I’ll guide you gently through it all so you can relax, let go, and trust that I’ll capture your story just as it’s meant to be—beautiful, honest, and full of heart.
Life doesn’t wait—and the way your family fits together right now deserves to be remembered.
As a parent, I know how overwhelming life can feel, but with me, sessions with me are a chance to pause, be present, and soak in the beauty of this season of your family’s life. Whether we’re stopping for snacks, playing hide and seek, or exploring your favorite spot, I’ll create space for your family to simply be.
No pressure, no judgment—just love, laughter, and the connection that makes your family uniquely yours.
Parenting is full of split second moments—stomping in puddles, scrambling up hillsides, tossing rocks into the river, or the way they wrap their arms around you like they’ll never let go.
A cosy, heartfelt glimpse into life with your little one. We’ll capture the peaceful stretches, soft yawns, and the quiet moments where your world feels so much fuller. At home or in a calm, familiar setting, these sessions are all about love, connection, and settling into this beautiful new chapter.
For families who want breathtaking backdrops to match their story. Whether you’re traveling through the Scottish highlands or exploring your own backyard, we’ll wander moors, chase clouds, and capture natural moments in stunning, iconic locations. These sessions are about connection, adventure, and creating something truly unforgettable.
Capture the beauty of home and the places your family loves most. From Deeside & Donside trails to cosy garden spots, these sessions are unhurried, playful, and rooted in connection. Let the kids lead the way—we’ll match their energy, take breaks, and keep things real, creating photos that feel like a favourite memory.

"Alyssa captured our family perfectly, we felt so relaxed during our shoot and the photos exceeded our expectations. Her photography style is so natural and she created a soft and dreamy aesthetic too which we adored. We revisit the photos time and time and again and have had so many compliments on them."
Before the Session: We’ll chat, prep, and make sure you feel ready.
During the Session: I’ll guide you with prompts that feel natural, keeping things comfortable and relaxed.
After the Session: You’ll receive a gallery that’s thoughtfully curated, full of moments that feel alive.
No pressure. No perfection. Just your story, beautifully told.

"Alyssa was so kind and patient with us, and delivered some of my most favorite family photos to date! Her artistry is beautiful and she captured all the *in betweens* of my family, the little moments that weave us together so uniquely."
WHY WORK WITH ME?
Because your family’s story deserves to be captured just as it is—wild, wonderful, and full of heart.
I meet your kids where they are—whether they’re running full speed through the forest, hiding behind your legs, or needing a snack break (because we all know snacks are life). Breaks are welcome, meltdowns are okay, and I’ll never ask them to be anything other than themselves.
With gentle prompts and an unhurried approach, I’ll create space for you to simply be. Nothing forced—just the little moments that feel like home: hands held tight, sparkles in their eyes when they giggle, the way your family wraps into a warm hug.
My style is warm, grounded, and nostalgic, inspired by Scotland’s fairytale landscapes and my years of learning to see beauty in the everyday. Together, we’ll create photos that feel honest, heartfelt, and unmistakably you.
Because the best stories are the ones you’ll want to return to, over and over again.
